 Custom State pillow: This an example of one that was featured on Secrets of a Stylist on HGTV!

What you need to do to enter is leave a comment about "home"... but please keep reading at least until the "about my pillows section" for full entry details : )

I am by nature a sentimental gal, so when I started making these pillows, it came from my own love of home and all the different ideas and feelings that come to mind when I hear that word...home. As I opened my shop and started selling pillows to others that were also moved by this sentiment, I have been able to share in their stories and feelings of home and it has been a little bit magical.  

So I'd love to know what do you think of when you think of "home;" is it a place? A memory? A smell? A friend or relative? L:eave me a thoughtful comment about home in the comments section for one entry.

*Just be sure to leave a comment for each additional entry! And remember for just the one entry all you have to do is leave a comment telling me about "home." 

 A little about my pillows

© Christine Dinsmore for Plumed. This item cannot be copied or duplicated.

I make all my embroidery pillow covers on high quality linen and linen blend fabrics. I use french color fast embroidery thread and line the pillow to protect the threads. The back is an envelope closure (because zippers can cause problems down the road; and I want these special pieces to last a long time!). The backs are either a linen or natural cotton. All pillows are hand-stitched by me; the inside seams are serged, not once, but twice, again to ensure the life of your pillows. You can see more of my work at my Etsy Shop Plumed. These pillow covers retail from $36 to $40.

                        The Details

Giveaway ends on December 16th at 5pm PST. I will ship internationally. I will chose with a random number generator, this gives those that provide extra entries more chances to win! Ya hoo! Winner will be contacted by December 18th; there will be a post announcing the winner that day. I will also contact winner via email (so make sure the email attached to your comment is one you check!). Because this is a custom made item and it is to be shipped by the 24th of December, I will need a quick response from the winner : ) So make sure to check your inboxes on the 18th or check back on my blog! If I don't hear back from the first winner on the 18th I will chose a second on the 19th.
