Repurposed vintage pillow delights

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.

lesliejanson’s New York City Pennant Pillow; timeneve’s Union Jack Cushion

ErnstandThistle’s Linen Pillow; lesliejanson’s Vintage Grain Sack Pillow

    .. 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!

    Thanks everyone! I can’t take the credit, as these Etsy artists are just so talented!

    Jon – Yes, your dreams will be more interesting if you sleep on a handmade, vintage repurposed pillow :) There will be much more history in your pillow!

    Erin — Aww, shucks — I am sure these wonderful artists enjoy your kind words!

    Rachel — I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

    Amy — I totally thought of you when I saw the NYC pillow and its type! :)
