My husband and I were out antiquing recently and I came across this handmade pillow and completely and utterly fell in love. How could I not? See all the beadwork?
And it's not just flat beadwork but layers upon layers of beads:
Just that, alone, is incredible but then I turned it over and found this handwriting:
And then there was a handwritten note attached to the back:
Enamored just doesn't seem adequate. This sort of thing fills my heart to the brim.
I don't buy much for myself any longer since I'm a dealer and typically buy to sell, but this piece, oh my, this piece immediately went into our collection! As I was pondering this, my husband grabbed it out of my hand and said, "Happy Valentine's Day."
Ahhhh, he's a good one, alright.
This special pillow is hanging on an old shutter that we found out in Central Kansas that was once attached to a very large farmhouse. The shutter is laid horizontally on our fireplace mantle and the pillow is hanging in the center.
