Here are some of the Amazing Retailers that are Carrying my Pillows





Jennifer, owner of The Old Painted Cottage is now carrying my Collection of Pillows. I have been lucky enough to have her not only as a wholesale buyer and friend, but as a collaborator on my line of Burlap Pillows. The Burlap concept was her idea that I wasn't to sure of at first, but trusting her judgement and knowing that she has great taste in products (as you can see from her beautiful website) I made the Pillows out of the Burlap and boy was she right! They came out beautifully and are favorites of many of our customers.

Make sure to check out her website for fabulous vintage finds!





Michelle, owner of The Bella Cottage is also carrying my complete Collection of Pillows. She is great to work with and it has been an exciting time for my Company, Garden Adornments to be able to work with some great woman who have gorgeous websites and products.

You can shop for vintage items and a huge assortmant of furniture on her website, so make sure to check it out!

More Fabulous French Finds

The Tags featured are from Etsy seller, Renee who hand paints each tag to make them truly unique and a work of art.

These French tags are finished in a beautiful Paris Blue background color. Renee has finished the tags with silver glitter and decorative corners. She has painted her hair with silver glitter - and also her petite shoes and the eye of the peacock. In addition, notice the silver tassles above her head. This beautiful design was created using original artwork and collage along with digital art, ephemera, and hand painting.


Each of Renee's collage/art tags are handmade and hand cut and trimmed to perfection. These are beautiful on a gift or "as" the gift. They can be used as bookmarks, placecards, journal spots, or as a card to someone special. She has left the back of the tags white so you can write out your own messages or thoughts.


The images are of a "Cinderella Coach" and are exquisite to just gaze at. They each have a different background and/or color.

This unique piece of art is collaged using mixed media on a 5" x 7" canvas - all the sides have been finished with metallic inks - which creates a lovely finished look for the canvas. The back has been finished with a matching or vintage looking paper.
