S.P...... STATE PRIDE PILLOWS!!!

I have LOVED these pillows for a long time.  I saw them ages ago at a boutique somewhere and thought they were so darned lovely.  I recently recommended these pillows to my sister for her downstairs family room.  They have a finished basement that they have avoided decorating for a while but they have finally go to work!  They have some great maps they want to hang on the the wall, so I suggested they do a travel/map theme throughout.  These pillows, although expensive, fit that theme perfectly!

There are very few times where I splurge on something expensive, but these could just be it!  The sister and brother-in-law have lived in DC, Chicago, and Boston.  They have traveled through France (following Tour de France) and went to college an married in Maine!  They have plenty of pillow options!

These pillows are hand embroidered (hence the $150 price tag).  These are the types of pillows you have FOREVER!!!  Great on a couch, bed, chair, breakfast nook.... wherever!  They have all the states, but also have cities, countries, state parks, and more!

I think the sister and brother-in-law need these ones!  










Which ones do you want?  You can busy these at Cat Studio (which also makes drinking glasses, dish towels, trays and more).  Also can find them at Uncommon Goods, and Chasing Fireflies.  

I want some for myself!  Until next time...xoxo

S.P...... STATE PRIDE!




The other day on gilt group I came across the Maya Brenner jewelry sale and her state charm necklaces. Love them! What better way to share your state pride! Of course, by the time I got on gilt group, Massachusetts was sold out. If you too missed out.... you can buy directly online. They have options in both gold and silver.

Celebrities are all over Maya's State Charms. If it is good enough for Jessica Simpson, Eva Longoria, and Rachel Bilson.... it is good enough for us! Right? These babies start at $120 bucks for silver and run up to $300 for the gold ones with small diamond.



If these are outside of your budget right now... I of course have another budget friendly option for you! Where... at Esty of course. Check out Truche's shop and the United States of Love Collection. These are freaking adorable and run $50.

I really want the Massachusetts charm. Either of these lovely options would do. I actually cannot figure out which option I like more. They are both adorable! It is soon to be Valentine's Day.... maybe someone else will decide for me. Honey... are you reading?

These are the perfect gift for a friend who is moving away, for someone who is going off to college or for someone who is just plain full of state pride!

Show of yours! Until next time.... xoxo
