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.
