Hello friends!
My son and I are out and about this weekend, taking me away from the computer for the most part. However, I’m still very happy to host SNS.
I’ll be late for the party so ya’ll behave now, ya hear? 🙂
Remember.. the Colour Challenge is Monday AM!
And.. Gitter Done is Wed!

pillows
Some think of me as a pillow-aholic.
I have no idea WHY.
(ESPRESSO is from The Little Green Bean)
I mean… do you see anything unusual here?
I do. They’re all in place in these pictures. Normally they’re crushed or on the floor. I’ve long nicknamed pillows as ‘floor throwers’.
Even so, I still LOVE the look of a bazillion pillows! Most of mine are from thrift stores. I even have a few authentic sandbag pillows in the mix. That burlap thing standing up is a $1.50 sandbag. (also see in the first 2 photos too) Even the seat cushion on this chair is ‘just a pillow.’
Now, if I could ‘find’ authentic grain sacks so I can make pillows like this one by Miss Mustard Seed, my life would indeed be complete. *sob* Come ON Canada, cooperate with me…
Just a word of caution… google pillows at your own risk.
The kids adored the day the mountain tumbled into the house. And so the Pet Rock craze began.

“Now look Frank. I FINALLY got you off the computer to come sit with me. WHY are you suddenly so worked up about answering your email NOW?!?”

Frank didn’t listen and went to collect his 3057 emails. But no fear. His ‘late night workin’ pillow did get used that night. Right along with that right arm looking mighty spiffy while… emailing.
Sofas just aren’t made soft enough any more, so Martha came up with the perfect solution.
I simply couldn’t agree more.
What style of pillow do you favor towards?
Do you sew them?
Find ways to cheat so you don’t have to sew? (why ever would I write THAT in there)
Let’s see your own pillow creations and favorites in this weekend’s 3rd themed linkup!

Love the rock pillows! Those would be so fun to have!
Thanks for the fun party !
I love pillows. I’ll have to link some up tomorrow. I’m camping in the backyard tonight. Thanks for hosting this fun party.
Oh! I want a couch made out of pillows! That is cool! That first picture is STILL my favorite…well, maybe that or your stairs!
I love pillows too! Lol, I always smile when you call them ‘floor throwers’…my boys throw them on the floor and stand or sit on them so they are rarely ever on the furniture.
Have a fun weekend out and about with your son! 🙂
I think you can never have too many pillows!

Thanks for hosting Donna. I agree I always find ways around sewing {even though sewing may just be the easiest way sometimes} Just something about getting the sewing machine started! Stitch Witchery is my bff! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Stephanie Lynn
Do you know that my husband will NEVER go to bed first because he doesn’t want to bother taking all the pillows off the bed? AND we don’t have near as many as you do, Donna! haha…thank you so much for hosting and you have a great weekend with your son!
Oh I adore pillows too. Have fun this weekend.
If you have a moment, please stop by and enter my FAB FALL FRENCH GIVEAWAY.
Thanks for hosting, Donna! There are two local coffee shops here that sell the burlap style coffee sacks for $2. I always end up spending 20 minutes looking through the pile every time I go in b/c I KNOW they make great pillows or slipcovers or something. One of these days I will actually do something with them. 🙂
Hi , I am a new follower! Your blog is wonderful. I have joined in the party, looks like fun! Thanks
I am loving all the pillows!! Grain sacks are my favorite. I just scored a box…yes a large box…filled with coffee bean sacks. Loveeee them!!!!
Coming soon to a pillow near you! Ha!
Hugs

Thanks for the party, Donna. Have fun with your little man while I have fun diving into all these fluffy pillows!
Hugs,
Jami
Wow! There are sooo many cute link-ups today! Guess I know what I’m doing tonight : )
Have a great weekend, Donna!
Love,
Laura
I so appreciate your love for pillows! They are such a great way to add texture, color, fun, comfort … (the list goes on and on, doesn’t it?) Thank you so much for hosting and letting me play by sharing my Fall mantel. I’m off to get inspired by your other guests! Take care, *Becca*
Hi, I’m your newest follower and I just adore pillows too. Love your blog, so much creativity going on. Thanks for the fun party!
One of my favourite parts of the weekend is your SNS. So many great ideas. I love the variety of fabrics you use for your pillows, Donna.
I was so happy to see my simple little dishcloths in your lovely photo on the sidebar. It is fun to see them in your home all the way across our beautiful country. I can hardly wait to show my boys!
I adore pillows. Adore them. They make me happy.
As I scrolled down and saw all the pillows….I was sighing and swooning and awwwing over ALL of them!
I might have to go and make some today…after my tea! IF I do, I will link up…but I gotta figure out what color to pop out in my house for Monday. Oy! I’ve tried a few things and like you, I cannot “deal” with it. Isn’t that terrible?? I can’t find a color to just leave out in my home. I love the calm warm tones so much that color…..it scares me!!!! I’m too fickle or is it “set in my ways”? No. Can’t be that!!!

I love the rocks pillows! And I am just amazed everytime at how creative, and funky, and wonderful your home is!
I did it. hee!
The living room is very “Pottery Barn” looking. I love it! Also, the assortment of pillows is very funny. I especially liked the pillows that looked like giant stones. Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for hosting this. I had a fun time hopping along and getting great ideas.
