TRAVEL

Hope you are safe and sound, surrounded by family and friends, and your hearts are filled with gratitude and love. 🙏

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁🍷
.
I cannot be more grateful to have such wonderful family, friends, and design community, thank you! (My gratitude is a long one today; please read my story.)
.
This Thanksgiving is a very special one for me personally. For it was exactly 30 years ago today I went jogging and woke up from a nap with ME/CFS, a severely debilitating disease. I had just finished graduate school. Within 5 months I had to quit my career. I was 37 years old.
.
I am one of the lucky ones and this milestone means so much to me because I could have stayed permanently bedridden, like many do. (See @meactnet)
.
But because of my amazing husband, David, who has taken care of me all these years and recognized that making pillows was helping me heal, he became the house husband (while working 2 jobs and raising our son) and gave me the gift of creating my art, one-of-a-kind pillows. I could not be more grateful!!🙏
.
It might be time for a break, cause as many of you know, I relapsed very badly this fall for 3 months, which is a wakeup call to do less activity, as the disease is always with me.

But I`ve been blessed beyond words with the most wonderful life, and a design business of 20 years. I thank each and every one of you for being part of my journey and supporting me all along the way.

Today, I am very thankful for YOU and grateful for the life I enjoy so much!! Sending you much love and a reminder that our health and family always come first. Bless you on this special day of thanks and enjoy dinner with loved ones and those pies!!
XOXO❤️🍁🦃❤️

I`ve heard rumor people are already putting up their Christmas trees...🎄
.
Happy Throw Pillow Thursday friends!
.
I`m back!!! 🤗
.
After a 3-month-long health relapse that seemed to never end (I have ME/CFS), it feels FANTASTIC to be back in the studio again creating!!! (Thank you for your love, support, and prayers during this difficult time. It helped!❤️)
.
Makers have to make and it feels sooooo good to be back at it. 😄
.
We all could use an extra special boost of holiday cheer this year, right?
.
So we`re whipping up some BRAND NEW designs of our popular holiday ornaments.
.
We almost sold out last holiday season, but with so many new/vintage fabrics, ribbon, French trim, and vintage rhinestone buttons we`ve collected over 20 years, we literally could make 1,000.
.
This first beauty is one my dear friend @lindaholtcreative won years ago. We still have some of that 1960s ball gown fabric, so you may see one similar, but never the same, as they`re all one-of-a-kind ornaments. ✨️
.
Each ornament comes in its own satin-lined white gift box ready to give. Your family and friends eyes will sparkle, just like the vintage rhinestone buttons, when they open the box. 🎁
.
We even did an amazing custom order last December of 13 blue and white ones for a dear client, a Florida interior designer. Scroll left to see one, and our prior black boxes. 💙🤍🩵
.
We aim to please! So while we`re not accepting large custom orders this year, we are accepting individual orders. It`s simple to custom order by color. Reach out now, so you have it in time for gift-giving season.
.
Often, customers hang them year round. We even decorated @replacementsltd china with them during the @oneroomchallenge. They make perfect hostess gifts!
.
Please subscribe to our newsletter for the discount code for 20th year in business. Plus, if you live in Austin, you`ll get the deets on our Annual Holiday Soiree coming soon. 🎉🥂🍾🎉
.
I`ve missed y`all and look forward to seeing you. Happy Holidays and have a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving. Many thanks for your continued support. XO❤️
