I was paging through the recent issue of Elle Decor and saw a picture of these gorgeous pale yellow linen pillows:
Like little pats of butter with spun sugar flowers. The taupe tones down the girliness a bit and makes them just about as close to perfect (for me) as they can get.
And I was shocked to read that they are from Pierre Deux! Nothing against the old school French country decor shop…but when I think of Pierre Deux, I’m hit by a nostalgic wave of quilted handbags and cosmetic cases in their famous Provence prints (a staple for girls in my 1980’s DC past). In fact – the first time I saw quilted Vera Bradley bags, I had to do a double take, as the styles were so reminiscent of the PD styles I remember.
Anyway – I checked out the website, and it seems that PD quilted bags are not quite as prolific as they once were… And these pillows are a collaboration with Ankasa based on an 18th century toile.
I love them.
And while I was there, I checked out the rest of the pillow selection. So if delicate embroidered linen isn’t your thing, here are some bonus images of peacocks I found quite charming:
I don’t think you can ever really go wrong with peacocks – at least not tasteful ones from Pierre Deux.
