Oyster Shell Pillows - Hand Painted
These stunning hand painted oyster shell pillows are one of my favorite finds of 2010... and of course they are painted in the South were oyster shells litter the coast lines. I love the heavy linen fabric, contrasting flanges and base colors and the soft oyster grays. The texture of the shells is amazing - the pictures do not do justice to how soft and beautiful they truly are. If interested, they can be found in the new online store J Covington Home in the beach pillow section.

16 Antique Textile Pillows
The incredible precision, workmanship and utmost care that goes into the sewing of these antique embroidery pillows is amazing. The antique embroideries and tapestries and other interesting textiles are hunted across Europe and are then carefully paired with metallic “galloon” trims…. “galloons” were most often utilized in the making of European ecclesiastical garments. Then they are sewn onto a piece of luxurious velvet and hand trimmed. They are one-of-a-kind works of art. Enchanting and gorgeous... and are made right here in the USA, by a fine young lady who I enjoy working with.
