Weekly Favorites Pillows

Pillows make the world go round! oh, never mind, I don't think that's right. It's just that I love Pillows, they can make any room look "dressed" and instantly change things around. We try to have a good range of different kind of Pillows at our shop, for different looks and seasons.


Having a White Couch {which isn't the smartest thing for a household with kids, dogs and cats!} does allow me to change the whole feel of the decor instantly. Like with our new Shabby Cotton Chambray Floral Rose Pillow Covers, which makes my living room look so romantic! I love the colors in this pattern.



It has just enough of lots of great colors in it to go well in many interiors. Pinks, Reds, Aqua and Brown, Off White, Natural, & Greens.


Soft, pretty colors just right for that romantic look.



These White Linen Pillows have a great Ruffle, Gold Embroidery, and come with a down insert. They look great in the garden {they were recently used at a wedding, and looked so beautiful!}




This is the Cotton Chambray version, with Pink~Rose Embroidery.





We have sold out of all our French Grainsack Pillows, but have a whole load coming in the Fall. See how this instantly changes the whole look on this couch?




This is much more a French Country look. More contemporary. It's amazing what a change in Pillows can do, isn't it?



One of my favorites, this long Pillow is really a draftstopper, but I love it on our couch in the kitchen best. Fifi's sister made these in France. I love her embroidery, she has the patience of an angel. I think each letter takes her an hours to finish.




These Rooster and French Hen Pillows are Needlepoint, and are always on our best seller list. For those of you who love French Country, or Chickens, or both!



I love the feel and look of Needlepoint, and always bring those pillows out in the Fall, for a warmer, more cozy look. {ordered some great needlepoint pillows pour vous, for later, too!}




How many pillows are too many? My European mother-in-law always laughs at me when she comes to stay, and says my 7 pillows on our bed is already way too many. {"You Americans, you just love your pillows", she always says, shaking her head. And when she stays with us, all the guestbed pillows go on the floor in the corner, and stay there for her whole visit.}

I love all of the pillows, but I was really drawn to the floral wreaths in the first picture! Those are beautiful!

Ohh I love pillows. You can add color-change the feel of a room. I get the best from my thift. They have to have a zipper so I can wash them. I switch out the inside to feather. And I buy Anthro. napkins on sale and sew them together for great pillows.
Yours are beautiful! Love them.

Love those pillows on your white couch! While I'm not a rooster collector, I do like the pillows with the roosters on them, too.

I would have them all. They are beautiful. I have a 'thing' for pillows, or cushions as we call them in Australia, whatever they are...I love them.

Beautiful pillows! I confess, I am a total pillow junkie and have indulged my love for changing pillows by making them in a slipcover style, so I can change out mine each season without having to store stacks of big, fat pillows. Lately,my tastes run to the French, grain sack, faded florals, linen... I just can't seem to get enough.
