I love Pottery Barn, but I am not a fan of their hefty price tags. Imagine my delight when I saw these pillows in the window of a little linen shop during our weekend trip to the beach. Eddie & I went back later to see how much they were. On sale for $7.99 each sure beats the Pottery Barn price tag of $25 a piece. I got 3 for less than what I would have paid for one if I’d ordered from the PB catalog and had to pay for shipping.
The store, on 64th street in Ocean City, MD, had several of the pillows, but I only got the starfish. Since I’m using them indoors I didn’t want to go overboard with the nautical theme.
They’re supposed to be outdoor pillows, but I’m using them in the living room. Hopefully the durable fabric will hold up a little better to two toddlers and a dog who loves to bury her bone in my couch cushions. đŸ™‚
(Also note the new portraits of the kiddos. They should be hung lower, but they’re up high for a good reason-so they don’t get knocked down and bonk the head of a certain three-year-old who thinks the sofa is his personal long-jump course.)
