summer porch

 Welcome to my summer porch.  Have a seat and a cool beverage.

 In the evening, I light up a strand of sparkly lights.

 These are my new pillows from the marvelous new shop, maisonette in Hastings-on-Hudson.

The solid backing is a gorgeous green.

 The wonderful shop owner Maria made this lumbar pillow for me which I love.

 Here is a sneak inside the shoppe, maisonette.

It just opened a few weeks ago and I am so delighted to have a store like this nearby.

 My daughter fell in love with these comfy paisley chairs.  We have our eye on a few other items to add to our own maison.

can do

On a recent trip, I snapped a shot of this cheeky pillow. Now, how great is that, words to gently provide just the right sort of confidence to your day. What sort of words would provide a "can do" sort of attitude to your pillow? My youngest has a series of school testing this week and how nice would it be to wake up to some incentives on your pillow.

bolster up

Long a fan of bolstering up others who might need a little push or support. I take comfort in the classic clean lines of the above bolster pillow bordered in the greek key. What fun this would be in navy and white or black and white.

Simple, easy to make and a perfect prop for reading in bed.

Nothing like new bedding to give one a dreamy night'sleep or afternoon nap, or a new bolster to give your bed a boost!

In need of any bolsering up?

pillow talk

I have always considered pillows to be very personal. They can provide an intimate atmosphere to a rather large sofa and make a beautifully made bed all the more inviting.

The above pillows are french vintage linen and can be found here.

"As for me and my house, We will serve the Lord."

Joshua 24:15

This pillow spoke to me.

Both of the above pillows found on etsy.

Have a super weekend in your house serving up goodies for the Super Bowl and take a minute to give thanks. Hope to have some pillow time in between a flurry of events going on here.
