Win! Marie-France Vintage Cushions


Marie-France and twin are two beautiful scatter cushions made from 1930's silk. These two cushions are up for grabs, simply leave a comment on the Marie V facebook page and your name will automatically be entered into the random drawer.

Competition closes on April 21st, so make sure you leave your note before that date.

Marie V will contact the winner and arrange delivery of these twin gorgeous cushions, which will adorn your beautiful home.

Marie- France and twin were originally a men's dinner scarf. This evening men's scarf, in golden yellows and earthy browns was found tucked away in a vintage shop in London. The colours were what attracted me initially but the fine silk in impeccable condition was also a winner!

Unfortunately the edges were rather frayed, and the silk so delicate, it made piecing this cushion rather difficult. The slime scarf also meant that only two small square cushions could be fabricated, but they are rather dazzling and will brighten any chair, sofa or bed as they are scattered!

It's a shame that dinner scarves, or gentlemen's scarves have gone out of fashion as they certainly add colour to men's attire, even though, as Mr M has commented may often dip into soups and more.

In any case there is no risk of dipping these twin scatter cushions in your soup, and they could be yours, just in time for the summer months ahead. So leave a lovely heart warming comment on the Marie V facebook page.

I may just even leave a few messages in return!

Good Luck
Marie V
