New Pillows and A Giveaway

I was like a kid in a candy store as I opened up all the packages from my online shopping during the Boxing Week. This pair of gorgeous lumbar pillows from sewSusieDesigns arrived just in time for our new year's eve countdown party. The fabric is Kravet's Jellybean (or Braemore Gorgeous in Pearl), a heavy-weight cotton duck.

I like how Susie, the professional seamstress behind sewSusieDesigns, used the same fabric with different patterns on both sides. That not only makes the pillow more versatile, but also gives you a better bang for your buck.

I had initially ordered these pillows for my dining room, but I am liking how they look in my living room now. The colour palette totally works.

The other side of the pillows, just as elegant.

Now the good news for my readers. Susie at sewSusieDesigns is so kind to offer my readers a FREE pair of pillows (value up to $140!) from her Etsy store. Just imagine you could either have the same Jacobean pillows I ordered, or any two of these beauties (you can mix and match):  
Jonathan Adler for Kravet Electrify in Azure

Or this Robert Allen Lattice Bamboo in Graystone

Or this popular Ikat from Dwell Studio

Or how about this gorgeous Thom Filicia Burnet in Ink Linen

Or this punch of colour to combat the winter blues in Jonathan Adler for Kravet - New - Limitless in Persimmon Orange Chevron?
