Today's Mail: Pillow Talk Swap

Today was an incredibly happy mail day! Look what arrived from the post . . .

A stunningly beautiful pillow cover and goodies from Holly at Bijou Lovely! I spied this pillow cover in the Pillow Talk Swap Flickr pool, and it was one of my favorites. I fell in love with the rainbow of framed hexagons, and the bright, monochromatic prints set against that luscious gray background. So beautiful!

First, a close-up of the extras: Holly was so sweet to throw in one of her original photos, some Denyse Schmidt fabric (love this!) and super-cute patterned tape. Love!

And then the pillow cover. Holly is an excellent photographer, so I'd already admired this pillow when she posted it on her blog. But it's even prettier in person! I need to run out and pick up a pillow form, but here is the pillow cover, stuffed with a smaller throw pillow plus any random fiber fill I could find. :)

Thank you Holly for the incredibly special pillow! I love everything about it, and you are so thoughtful! I am so glad I signed up for the this swap, which has been a positive experience all the way around!
