Repurposed vintage pillow delights

September 9th, 2008 · 8 Comments

As a lady recently on the pillow hunt, I’ve really enjoyed the beautiful pillows handmade by Etsy sellers – especially the ones who repurpose vintage materials.  Here are some of my favorite repurposed vintage fabric pillows.

    .. and here I thought pillows were merely for sleeping. These are wonderful works of art – thanks for sharing. Maybe my dreams will be more interesting now?!?

    That nautical stripe pillow is adorable! I have pillows on the brain right now, because I’m trying to figure out how to re-cover my own. You’ve just provided me with more inspiration!

    Great post, Grace!! Of course, you know me… my eye immediately was arrested by Leslie Janson’s NYC pennant pillow, this and the others in her shop are ace! And love Kinchimama’s London duo… she has such a lovely shop!
