| I have a complete addiction to "PILLOWS" if I see one with beautiful flowers or hand stitching or red checks or .....you get the idea If I see ANY pillow that strikes me it's instantly on....I have to fight with myself with self talk like "Karena are you kidding you don't NEED another pillow"....or "Where will you put it"...etc.....here's the thing ...even though I DO fight with myself ..most times I lose ...picking up the treasure before me bonding with it like a new puppy...I almost always bring it home to add to my collection.... |
 |
| I have given this much thought recently...here's what I've come up with...the purchase of a new pillow for me is the equivalent of buying a "New Tube of Lipstick" used to be when I was younger....it is ALWAYS a mood lifter...in instant burst of creative rush wondering...where to put it....is it an outdoor treasure or an inside sitter....which room....paired with which friends...shabby chic or fall like....floral .... hand stitched or embroidered... |
 |
| The other thing I think about is how much I love my faces around me....my favorite thing about living is sharing my day to day journey with the favorite faces I am blessed to share my life with...."SITTIN" places are key to that experience ...then my intention is always to create a soft place for them to fall......a place inside or out that seems like it was created just for them....AND so comfortable they have to fight the urge to ever get up and leave.... |
 |
| When I started down that trail of thinking the passion for pillow's started to make a lot of sense to me... |
 |
| I look forward to my ....Fall pillows....(which I haven't gotten out quite yet) my Christmas ....Spring....Summer...and so it goes pillows fit me ...in my life for all the seasons ....not just mother nature's seasons either ....but the seasons I LIVE through...the natural ebb and flow of my journey...when I was raising my daughter she would plump the pillows next to my hip...so she could prop her head on them to watch TV with me nesting herself CLOSE so I could give her goosebumps....or laying my head on my favorite pillow after her dad left and my heart was breaking....(that pillow almost didn't survive)....or the pillows I found after I met dated...married ...my sweetie ...we began creating a blended family ...a new home for all of us to love in.....or the rippin time when we moved into..... "The Girls are All Grown Up"....season |
 |
| No....I think my passion for pillows is completely understandable... |
 |
| Out of a couple perfectly chosen pieces of fabric...some buttons...ruffles...or ribbon a new friend is created to comfort...befriend....soften ..... even help heal the sometimes STORMY SEASONS of life..that's an addiction I can live with...thanks for stopping by girls......I wish a comfy pillow for you all today....blessings and big hugs.........Karena |
