JUJU HAT GIVEAWAY WITH ST. FRANK

Hi my friends!  We’re busy nesting and being cozy for the holidays but I wanted to pop in with a fun giveaway to celebrate the season!  St. Frank, a store I love for their epic collection of home goods, is offering up one of these amazing Juju hats to a lucky reader!  As you may remember from this post, I have a small collection of them in our living room.  Nearly every person who visits comments on them and I love sharing the background on their origin (*see below for a blurb about them from the St. Frank website)!  I also adore that St. Frank is supporting low and middle income communities and their artisans while simultaneously helping preserve their crafts.  I have an obsession with textiles from other lands, so this makes me extremely happy!

*”The Juju hat is a symbol of prosperity and divinity in Bamileke culture. The Bamileke is an ethnic group from Cameroon’s west and northeast provinces. Birds, whose feathers are used to create this elaborate headdress, are sacred to the Bamileke because their power of flight allows them to soar to the heavens. Traditionally, the Juju hat was worn by members of the high Kuosi class during Bamileke rituals and festivities. The Kuosi consisted of prominent tribal leaders, affluent landowners, and celebrated warriors. The Juju hat was worn to perform an annual dance celebrating the kingdom’s prosperity.”  HOW INCREDIBLE IS THAT?!

Ok, I’ll get to it!  Here are the details:  Comment below with where you’d hang your very own Juju hat- I’d love some fresh ideas on where to display them!  In a week from today a random winner will be chosen and receive their pick of any in-stock Juju hat from the St. Frank website.  One entry per person please. Good luck everyone!

Please note that by entering the contest you agree to receive promotional emails from St. Frank.

    I just set up a desk in my teensy apartment because I’m going back to school for my MBA at the age of 34 (!!). I have 1 semester down, and a desk with 2 monitors and nothing pretty to anchor it. I’d hang it above my desk to gaze at as I contemplate my path to becoming a leader and reaching back to bring other smart ladies along with me.

    Thank you so much for this post! At some point over the summer a pinned an inspiration photo with a juju hat, but I didn’t know what it was called. I spent hours researching it online, and now I know! I would love to hang one over the fireplace in our living room.

    Our home is neutral with a lot of texture and I think this would make a beautiful statement on a wall of our family room that is shared with our breakfast nook. Thanks for the opportunity! These are gorgeous!!!

    I have wished for a juju hat for years. I live in a 200 year old boys school that has been converted into seven units. There is an indoor transom window above my coach and this is where I have pictured one!

    Gah, these are sooooooo gorgeous! I know this isn’t original, but I have been looking for something to hang above my headboard and a Juju hat (or 3) would look so amazing!
    Thanks so much for sharing, Sarah!
    Happy holidays to you and your beautiful boys!
    Cheers,

    wow, these are goooorrrgeous and totally new to me. I must have seen them in your post but not known what it/they were. I’d love to hang one on my french door, which leads in to an english-style conservatory. It would be a juju “wreath.” 🙂

    After I’m done taking a million photos of it on my head 🙂 I would put it in a wall in between my bed and dresser. But I think hanging it in a half bath or above a vanity table would also be great!

    Beautiful!!! I love the idea of hanging it above a bed or fireplace, such a gorgeous statement piece and love the story behind them! I’ve always wondered what they represent. Feel like it’d also be a great piece to display under a coffee table with a glass tabletop. if I had several of them, hanging them side by side as you have displayed above, but on the ceiling would be pretty cool! Esp in an office setting or above a dining room table, something to spruce up boring ceiling 🙂

    I never knew the backstory on these! It grabbed me in the gut. I’ve recently had to make a huge and unwanted life change in order to take care of myself. A gorgeous juju hat would be perfect for my entryway, as a reminder to me that everything is going to be ok. Love love LOVE this. Love it. Thank you for the giveaway!

    I love the backstory of the Juju hats and they are gorgeous to boot. I live in a studio, so I’d hang it above my bed. Not very original, but you can see that wall from everywhere in the apartment, which would make me very happy!!!

    I have a white modern canopy bed on my Christmas list and I know a juju hat would look great in the middle of it on the wall. I already have a moroccan wedding blanket that would look lovely with it. Both of these pieces together would add so much deminision and texture to my space. A juju hat is so versatile and you can put it so many different places. I would love to win one of these from St.Frank. I love their store and what they stand for. Fingers crossed!! Thank You. xx

    So I’ve been dreaming of having one of these for a few years. I love the texture they bring to a space! I have a big blank space behind my tv and behind my dining table. Both spots are in high need of a show stopper, especially with my dark walls. What an amazing giveaway !!

    i’ve wanted a juju hat for SO long! i attempted to make my own once and failed miserably. if i won, i would hang my juju hat on my “weaving wall” where i currently have my own woven wall hangings and those i’ve collected from fellow weavers and thrift shops. it would fit right in 🙂

    I have wanted one of these forever, but they are quite pricey. I love all of the various color tones in the feathers. I have a small porch that is my reading nook. I would love to hang it out there especially now that I know the meaning, so that as I read or pray, I would remember to soar.

    Reply
  48. Terri|

    These are stunning and thank you for providing background on their meaning. Personally I would love to hang above our bed in master bedroom (as that room is lacking in decor). However reading through the posts there are others who have more compelling stories and this gift could bring them an extra bit of joy and good energy. Thank you for the generous offer and I love reading your posts.

    I HAVE LUSTING FOR A JUJU HAT FOR ABOUT A DECADE NOW – and now that I am finally in a Spanish style Los Angeles bungalow that I am proud to call home, I would love to place a creamy white juju hat between 2 iron sconces near my black and white photos of Lucille Ball and Brando. Or – I’d love to have a hot pink or other richly colored juju hat in my dining room as a fun and festive color point! As an history teacher who teaches African history and culture, I would be honored to have any juju hat as a homage to the rich culture of Africa!

    The appreciate the collection of epics. The hat of juju is classic. The decoration of Guest bedroom is attractive. Everyone have the desire to pass a night in it like me. The addition of lamp in the room enhances worth. Nonetheless, pictures are impressive with peerless products.

    I would put one in my daughters bedroom so that it is the last thing she sees when she goes to sleep and the first thing she sees when she wakes up. She is starting med school with plans to work in underserved communities and countries, something she has been doing since she was 13! It would remind her that her prosperity means prosperity for others and those in need! Hitch will make the lack of sleep and the long hours studying are worth it!!
