~ vignettes as snippets ~

day 1 - green

day 2 - folded

day 3 - alcohol

day 4 - pile

day 5 - borrowed

day 6 - round

day 7 - framed

I spent much of this week faffing around creating little vignettes and making pretty. 

I spent the rest of it trying to put away all the bits and pieces without being overcome by the heady scent of jasmine (I had arm fulls of the stuff all over the kitchen). 

So, with everything else going on this week (school excursion to science week, vomiting child, mountains of washing)  these are just about the only shots that ended up on my camera (definitely an iphone only kind of week).  Still I love #7vignettes week - lots of laughs and pretty pictures over in IG land during these weeks.

I really like the little pops of pink and green this week - the jasmine obviously was the scene stealer and the little photify prints snuck in a couple of times too.  The alcohol shot clearly doesn't work with the others but I really wanted to use the vintage cork board!

We've got a short trip to Perth this week (I'm very excited to get back there and see some old friends while the Doc is conferencing) - I hope you've got something to look forward to too.

Linking up with Em at the beetleshack for weekly snippets and stills (even though I'm cheating a bit this week).

~ March vignettes ~

This month (and last month) I've had a ball playing along with the #7vignettes challenge over on Instagram.  It's run by the lovely Jen of Interiorsaddict. 

Here are my efforts this week.

{day 1 - white}

{day 2 - spots}

{day 3 - paper}

{day 4 - my colour palette}

{day 5 - bathroom}

{day 6 - geometric}

{day 7 - upcycled}

I'm still not sure of the defintion of "vignette" but it seems to result in little arrangements of stuff and beautiful photographs.  Mel wrote a fabulous blog piece about her efforts at creating little masterpieces last month.  I've had similar experiences here - I actually ended up raiding some of the children's mantlepiece "vignettes" to use some bits and bobs in mine.  There are lots of very clever stylists who play along but there are also lots of friendly and encouraging people playing just for fun (like me).

After doing the white prompt in my Freedom display box (day 1, above) I set myself a mini challenge to do a second photo on each theme in the white box.  It was fascinating to see how different the box ended up looking using slightly different light and filters (mostly in afterglow) but also how much little stuff we have lying around (and is now all lying around on a table as I muster the energy to put it all away... that part is never as much fun).

{day 2 - spots}

{day 3 - paper}

{day 4 - my other colour palette}

{day 5 - bathroom}

{day 6 - geometric}

{day 7 - upcycled!}

I found the upcycled theme the hardest - for both sets of photos.
I think my favourites are the original paper shot and the colour palette shot in the box.

Thanks Jen for running such a fun meme and to all the lovely people who commented on my photos - I'll be back next month for sure.


I'm going out for dinner tonight with some of my loveliest girlfriends.  Can't wait.  Hope your Friday evening is fun too.
