Soul Food #86
Thou shalt not covet~
I have been IN LOVE with those beautiful Pottery Barn cushions ...the Nest ones..
I don't have Pottery Barn here.. so I bought little JPEGS on ETSY of a few favorite designs..and had fun stitching a small NEST pillow for the sunroom~
A little silver heart to dangle..
I used Avery Iron On TShirt Transfer Sheets in Light..
I know the pillow doesn't come close to the onlong beauty at PB.. but the words..are the same~
Have you noticed how in the day..a shamrock plant is open to the world..and as the sun fades..it sleeps too? Leaving it's tomorrow buds still searching for the light?And a new day to start afresh?
My friend gave us that plant for St-Patrick's..It's still going strong~
It's a pretty little thing~The Paris Graphic is of course from The Graphics Fairy~ With Thanks~
NEST..I love that word..it means so much really.

...and you cushion is far more cute my friend! ;)

You know, the pillow would've been perfect 'as is.'
ReplyDeleteBut no. You had to go and embellish it with a little silver heart. It's like I always say, the little bits of romance you add to everything you touch, is what sets you apart.
Monique I tried to find the hen or chick pie on your blog, I'm having difficulty, also, did you make them if I remember they were in chocolate, my little ones eyes would light up?

I hope you enjoy it~
Thanks everyone..you made me smile.
I agree, love the idea of the nest. My favorite object is a tiny nest.... the birds made it from tiny twigs and my St. Bernard's hair!! A friend told me to put it out in the spring and I did... it is such a thing of beauty.. the baby birds must have been very cosy!! Lovely pillow, lovely thought!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I think your version is much nicer then the PB one!!! Your little shamrock plant is so Spring like, just what we need after this last snowfall!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Margaret B
Ce coussin est effectivement très charmant et engageant sur votre canapé... Belles photos comme toujours...
ReplyDeleteGros bisous
agree with the above, yours is much nicer and more personal than PB.
ReplyDeleteLove the word "nest" and what it implies. I'm always "nesting" around here. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pillow, Monique!

Now I know the meaning of your comment on my last post ;) What a beautiful project, M! I love the last two definitions. The heart perfectly furthers the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteNew sunroom sofa or did you recover again? Love it!
I love the tiny heart attached to the pillow...nest and love...the perfect combination!
ReplyDeleteThanks:) And Thanks:)You are all perrty much too kind;)
ReplyDeleteSusan..after 25 yrs of uncomfortable sunroom furniture..I finally caved in and bought 2 Ikea white loveseats w/ an extra set of slipcovers...
Finally..~
You just always have so much beauty to share...and even better, all perfectly stitched by yourself...the heart is the cherry on the top!
ReplyDeleteSimply Beautiful!

Monique as you already know..I love your souk foods!!! Hygs, Flavia
ReplyDeleteWhat I would give to have one of those Pottery Barn in my area. But it is so nice of you to share you treasures with us; I am really taken with your littles nest.
ReplyDeleteOf course I also make soupe aux pois the next day.
Best to you and your for Easter.
Rita
Monique your a brave lady with four grandkids and white sofas, I'd be covering them up with plastic????yike...enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGinette
Ginette..I will always have 4 grandsons:)We could not wait forever:)
ReplyDeleteThe slipcovers wash..our other set..of 2..went to a nice family..Timing was everything I guess..they were on sale..I went nuts and someone ended up being very happy with our others.
They are washable..what's the worst that can happen?
I have white sheets to throw on them in dire cases of needed sippy cup days..:)
That room is small and we are not often all in it:)
When the wee ones come..the older boys are preferring the basement w/ grandad's lazy boy etc.. now:)
Anyway I say all that now..Let's see what the future brings:)
Shel..Hope the heart rang a bell for you~
Monique, I love your Nest pillow. I can't imagine any being cuter than yours. What a fun graphic design. It adds so much interest to the couch.
