I just love my new pillow – a few buttons, rick-rack, filler, and thread.  For less than $5.00 I have a cute, one-of-a-kind summer pillow! 

I'm linking to these fun parties this week, so click on the link here, here, and here to see what everyone else has been working on. See you next Friday!!

  3. Frugal, crafty, and charming! Great idea for a one-of-a-kind item! Yes, I too am a fan of rick rack; it was still a fashionable trim when I was learning to sew one hundred years ago. I love it! You are like my Mom - you both know how to envision a project and have a good eye for taste and possibilities. Beautiful job, Susan!

  5. As you already know that I think this is just fantabulous! I love it and really wish I stop in at your garden and share a glass of ice tea with you so I could see this in person. Great job!
