A Tale of Two Pillows :: Part One




When Adam and I got married, my aunt Indigo gave us this pillow.

She is an excellent embroiderer, seamstress, artist, photographer. Her life story I have always wanted to capture (maybe I will someday help her write it). I cannot leave out that she is also a gardener.

At any rate, I have cherished this pillow. Not only is it beautiful, it captures the colors of our wedding. It records our names. It has the date. And the fabrics are rich and soft. The detail is beautiful. I love it. She pooh-poohed my compliments saying, "it is just a pillow."

But I've always known better and cherished it.

More to come.

I always, always, always love comments. (Okay, except maybe not the nasty ones.)
