CrAzy Pillows round 1 are here!

I have been blessed to make some friends in the design world and have gotten some left over/discontinued showroom fabrics which have inspired me to create some pillows. I am very excited to have had 3 squares of great Kilim weave by S Harris, a to the trade fabric brand. I decided they would make great lumbar pillows as I have my own collection of vintage Kilim pillows that I refuse to sell since they are not easy to find in our area. Every one I have came from the NYC metro area. Anyway, I decided to pair these great weaves with a backer of vintage (knoll I was told) Greek key tweed. I love the pattern play! None of the pillows have matched patterns but there are pairs in the same color way. They are being sold separately and are stuffed with new polyfill. Each pillow is knife edge style and does not have a zipper access but is prestuffed and ready to use. I have stitched my wooden branding tag on each. These are all sewn by me on my 1974 Singer and hand stitched closed. Claim yours now! I love them on a chair, couch, bed or settee. They are colorful and have great texture. Works with mcm, organic, minimalist and boho styles. Just like a fine rug, they are beautiful and cozy. Rectangular shape which is narrow and longer. I can’t wait to see how you use them! Have a look here:

I will have more pillow covers coming! Have a bunch cut out and waiting. If you like working purples into your accents, you’ll enjoy them. Stay tuned!

We are about to start 2 busy months for me. We have lots of weekend plans coming up so I cannot be in the showroom. I will try to be there Wed or Thursday if I cannot make a weekend appearance. Typically, I will be home Sunday evenings. Please reach out to make an appointment! I am tied up Tuesday nights but can do other weeknights. I am planning to be open late on Friday Oct 13th for Trunk or Treat so mark your calendar! If you got kids or grandkids, bring them to enjoy the festivities and pop in the showroom. I pinned the event on my fb page so stop there to see the details.

Heads up if you need shipping: My Chairish shop will be 20% off Monday (Labor Day), Tuesday and I think Wednesday so you will want to check out then to save. Prices update automatically. Instant shipping quotes, now combined shipping is offered, also shipping to Alaska for furniture. Lots going on with Chairish!

Have a great holiday! I have training on Thursday this week so will plan on being in the showroom Wednesday for sure. Friday morning maybe, but will depend on how much packing I get done! Been looking forward to fall camping and it is upon us! 🥰🚐

Fall updates!

Can you believe we are headed into fall?! My first born will be moving into her college dorm this Friday! It seems like she was just a little one! Camping season is also in my near future! We don’t camp in the summer! Ha. No A/C in the vanagon and although he’s running good, sitting in hot traffic is no fun. My days at the showroom will be limited as we head into fall but I will still try to get here at least once a week. Don’t be shy about scheduling an appt! I can promise good tunes and chatter and I won’t pressure you to buy, in fact, I am that friend who will tell you if it’s not a good idea! Ha. Things are slowly starting to move again as summer is always busy, even for my shoppers. That said, if you are eyeing something, you may want to commit! I am STILL looking for homes for the pink couch and chair set. Cannot believe it’s still here! If you are interested and want to see, hit me up. My mcm light up houses from World Market are half way to sold out so if you’d like one of each, get here pronto. One style is last one! Glad you guys love them too! I only saw 2 larger ones so far pop up on their website for this season. The rest are more like German cottages and not mcm. No sign of the Halloween mcm houses! I have major regrets of not grabbing those on clearance last year!

NEW! I added Satya Incense, soaps and room spray to my booth and showroom, Nag Champa is my fav but there are many more here including citronella! Perfect for lighting up fireside, at camp or in home. One thing us VW camping folk love is our incense! I have bundles in the booth and have some individual boxes in my showroom- mainly because of how the fees are charged. If you buy direct from me in the showroom we don’t worry about that, otherwise I just bundle them to make it ‘make sense’.

I have been adding some small collectibles from my parents as they just did a major basement clean out. I add to the booth as space allows but my backstock is in the showroom. I will try to keep up with restocks during this busy time. I also want to mention I appreciate you all! You are a part of my business and while I will continue this, I am looking for paying opportunities to help my daughter with her education. Hoping I can ‘do it all’ but no promises! Ha. Your support is even more crucial to me as I try to cover my rents and shoot to be in the black. I won’t pay to keep this dream alive! Ha. I still have a great selection of stuff and I need to make room so when I get the next message with a house that needs me to buy, I am ready!

I will be participating in a textile workshop to learn about linen in the coming weeks at the Philly Design Center for the IFDA. Looking forward to seeing my design friends and keeping my brain full of useful info so I can assist my clients with choices! I love that part of my job. While I am not a designer and I love staying hyper focused on the items, I do love helping you make design decisions and knowledge is power!

Have a great week and reach out if I can help you! My shipper Manny is covering the east coast down to florida, Chicagoland runs every few weeks and just added Tennessee/Kentucky to his service area. I have a set of chairs going with him in a few weeks. I hire him direct and generally his prices are very good! If you’d like a price let me know! 🫶🏻 Chairish has seemed to get the memo on price increases and have adjusted their price points. It is still worth going with them on some items especially if west coast or weird area.
