Jonathan Adler: Zodiac Pillows

Now Jonathan Adler is brilliant. His designs are classic yet funky. Case in point: his needle point pillows. With these babies he has definetly taken your granny's ho-hum hobby and did some serious re-design. I am currently loving on his Zodiac Pillows. Now the ever flattering question of "what's your sign?" can be answered by a well designed pillow.

Got some thoughts? Then Write Them Down...

in one of these lovely journals! I have a fascination with journals, diaries, whatever you want to call them. The personal aspect of their nature is comforting, a place where you can safely spill out your heart onto their blank pages. They are like a treasure trove of well kept secrets, memories good or bad, words poetic or straightforward. Journals are a gals best friend.
