New pillows fresh from the postoffice...

So these are the new additions to my assortment of pillow covers. These pillows have a more classic touch to them. Helen - a textile designer based in Wiltshire - has created a unique range made by hand. With an artisan approach, she uses natural, quality materials, vintage and vintage style fabrics. She is inspired by great British symbols and icons, heraldic images, international flags, New England Style and Scandinavian textiles. The come in the following designs and colors:

Union Jack with red crown and red cross
Union jack with red crown and beige cross
Union Jack Heart
Union Jack Classic
Dragon in red


Helen has kindly agreed to make this special series for PilLove so that they will fit standard pillow measurements. Feather inserts can be found at e.g. H&M Home.

The fabrics are all from great American designers and are all made in 100% cotton for easy wash and tumble dry. Keep in mind, all pillows come without inserts! All pillows are standard mesurments so you can find inserts at shops like IKEA, Ellos, H&M or Stoff och Stil.
Pillow no 1 (pic 1 & 2): Geisha print on white background and bright pink back wih hidden zipper closure. Measures 50 x 50 cm. I have 3 pillows of this design. Price 450 SEK

Perfect as a floor pillow. My daughter has three floor pillows that she think is a hoot to throw herself onto, rest on, roll around and play with - well at least that is what she is communicating to us with her behavior...she's not too verbal, she's only 19 months ; ) I only have 1 pillow of this design so you have to be fast!

a PainTING anyONE

My tree of Life (not for sale)
Keep calm carry on
Save the polar bear
The one that got away
Save the forest - Recycle your newspapper!
Miss Butterfly
Beautiful
Barndomen oskuldens tid

Ok, so I have this hobby, I make collages.

It all started with the birth of my daughter - or to be more exact - the knowledge of that my husband and I were having a girl. So I wanted to make a painting for her, and I had recently been in New Orleans were I had been inspired by this woman who made these wonderful art pieces using paper scraps. So I made this painting with hundreds and hundreds of punched out paper scraps and turned it into this "tree of life" with messegas like "Play", "Run" and "Laugh". I love the way it turned out, but decided to never embark upon such a humungous project ever again (I made that promise many times but never seem to be able to keep it ;) So instead I make these smaller paintings -stil candy for the eye - in the same spirit and technique, but with less forest glued to it ;) At the moment I have these collages for sale. They come in different sizes and colors.

Keep calm carry on, 53,5x65 Price 1500 SEK
