I love these new flour sack pillows seen yesterday at a local decorating store. I think they speak to my recent strong penchant for bright colors. I especially like the shrimp one with the pink, brown, and orange.
I am now a stay at home mom but in my former life I was a French teacher--I have my B.A., M.A., and A.B.D. (next step to Ph.D. in French literature). I love teaching and miss it but in the meantime I am enjoying operating a part-time home organizing and design business. Contact me for more info if you are interested!
