Antique Linen Pillows
When I made my first pillows, I hoped to convey to my children
a sense of history and their European heritage. I also wanted my
home to connect with nature, by using natural materials instead
of man-made fibers. I can hardly tell you how much we have
enjoyed pillows made of this beautiful linen! Now my children
are parents, and they love having these pillows for their
children. The linen is super tough, washes easily and will only
become softer and more beautiful with age.

French Fabric Pillows
In a previous life I must have been French, because I just adore
antique/vintage French fabrics and can't get enough of them! I
buy most of my fabrics in France, personally choosing them so
that I can offer only the most delightful ones to my customers.
Fashioning pillows and accessories from these fabric for my
customers brings me great joy as I think of the women who
owned and loved these fabrics in former times.

German Grain Sack Pillows
These pillows are made from genuine antique German grain
sacks. To keep track of their sacks when the farmers took them
to the mills, they stenciled numbers on them. Smaller farmers
may have had only a few sacks, but those with larger farms had
naturally more sacks and would number them from 1 to 99.
Sometimes the farmers also designated certain numbers to hold
the various kinds of grains they harvested. So 1 through 10 may
have held barley, 11 to 20 wheat, and so forth.
