In the freakish moment of sunlight we got today (freakish because this is the Oregon coast, after-all, and sunlight is sadly not our norm) I snapped a few photos of the Arigato pillow-cover set I just completed. How I’m wishing for sunlight.

They are both made from vintage Japanese tea-cloths, slightly imperfect, which gives them so much more character. Think patina! As well, they each have vintage red buttons and red twill tape as accents that set off the deep navy blue perfectly! The graphic pillow reverses to a white ground with one large navy blue graphic repeat. The floral pillow reverses to this yummy, obi like cotton in blue.

Because their size isn’t standard, I’m including a “practically pre-made” insert that you can fill with fibrefill, or buckwheat hulls, or whatever suits your fancy. Maybe lavender? All that will be left for you to do is fill with your choice and sew the top shut.

These sisters are delicate in nature—so, do expect to baby them in the laundering process: hand wash, cold water, hang to dry. But, when you’re special and unique you should expect a little tender care, right?

These will be listed in the store tonight-–but first, dinner!I’m being whisked away for a jaunt. I wonder if it will be Japanese food?

They’re in! Go see!
