Ooh that's spooky Fifi! I've been shopping for some new pillows on my way home from work tonight. Couldn't find anything that I liked, but these gorgeous beauties have given me renewed energy to keep looking. I love that some of them have a truly WHIMSICAL feel.

Whilst browsing through the blogosphere and feeling rather whimsical, I happened upon your site and thought I'd enter the contest.

Count me in!

Rae said...

I smile every time I pick up my current book and see your darling WHIMSICAL bookmark!!

I LOVE pillows and was just thinking I need to make a few more for my couch. What a fabulous book to win!!

Ann Marie said...

I bought this book a couple of months ago and can't wait to have some time to sew. What a great give away this one is!

Linda@ Lime in the Coconut said...

So many of those pillows are so whimsical and fun! Just like your art, ma dear!!

dec0r8or said...

Oh, I just LOVE pillows! I actually just finished a bunch for some clients...maybe I should post them! They're not as whimsical as some of the ones in the photos you've posted, but they ARE fun! (As is your blog.)

Unknown said...

Oh, How I would love to win this Whimsical pillow book. All of these pillows are so pretty! Daisy~

Angie said...

Pillows add a great touch, I agree, especially the WHIMSICAL ones! But my DH throws all pillows on the floor...he can't stand to sit in a chair or a couch that has pillows...what's up with that???

SandraRee said...

Oh this is such a whimsical post! What a wonderful give away! :D

Laura @ the shorehouse. said...

Look at how whimsical you've made please sir's bed...with the lovely addition of some fluffy and colorful pillows!

I've just bought a BUNCH off pillows this past month...I find they're the most inexpensive way to change the feel of a room, and can be easily tucked away and swapped out to completely change the look and feel of a room...monthly, seasonally, whatever strikes your fancy! Perhaps there's a pillow post in my future....Hmmm...How whimsical! ;-)

I'm in pillow heaven! There was once a time when I had free time and I used to make pillows for my home. You can do virtually anything when making a pillow..they are so easy and fun.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful words left on my blog regarding my daughter-in-law. The circle of life continues despite the tragic loss of my daughter-in-law. Her memory will be forever etched in her children's minds.

What a whimsical idea to giveaway a pillow. I too, love pillows and have purchased a pattern to make some ( I have limited sewing experience but will try nonetheless).

Fifi, dearest blogger, you have quite the whimsical blog and such oh so lovely paintings, that I must say I'm rather inspired, delighted, and amused by all that I see here :)

I like that blue pillow with the "scales" on it.
