Calling all friends and followers who support Deborah Main luxury pillows being “American Made”, handcrafted in Austin, Texas, USA!!

IMPORTANT UPDATE: In order for your FB or Tweet to count toward my social media total shares, you MUST please do it from my profile page.  My goal is to reach 400 FB shares and 300 Twitter shares, as I’m up against stiff competition of over 2,715 nominees. This post tells you more about it. I can do it with YOUR help!! Please scroll down on my profile page until you reach “Share This Maker With Your Friends” to social share. Thank you so much!!

I don’t enter many contests. In fact, I haven’t entered one since winning Best Home Accessories Designer for Austin Fashion Week in 2011.  But at the last minute, I decided to give the Martha Stewart American Made contest a shot. Why?  Because my pillows are ALL handcrafted in the USA, even our pillow form inserts, and I am VERY proud of this!!  This key fact about Deborah Main pillows is at the core center of our values as a small business. And, as many of you know, Deborah Main Designs, supports entrepreneurship, small businesses, and craftsmanship in the USA!

At our studio, we pride ourselves in re-purposing vintage, antique and designer fabrics that we’ve collected for years all across the USA. And not to mention, vintage brooches and designer scarves that are made by many USA designers from the 1950’s!  So, if you’re not sure what Deborah Main luxury pillows are made out of, or where they are handcrafted, please be sure to visit our website Deborah Main Designs to learn more about us and check out our American Made 2014 Nominee Profile.

The most IMPORTANT REASON:

“On September 8, 2014, up to an additional 200 wild-card finalists will join the judges’ picks for grand-prize consideration. These finalists will be selected from the remaining nominees based on the highest number of social shares on Facebook and Twitter. MarthaStewart.com
