We all try and follow various philosophies in life right?
Use your good things...
During the packing of my belongings into boxes for the renovations, I realized how much crap and how many lovely objects ( to me anyway ) I possess. But I store them in a drawer or another room only to guiltily stroke them intermittently.
As some of you may know I collect Hermes silk scarves.
But try as I might, I can't seem to wear a scarf everyday.
I had seen a few scarves made into pillows and thought I should try it myself one day. I went through my stash and chose a scarf to make into a pillow.
I chose a 70 cm silk scarf called Tres Kelly.
I saw this scarf on Tabitha of Bourbon and Pearls and
on Faux Fuschia ( click to see the scarves in action )
and wasn't going to follow those two acts.
So instead of the scarf languishing in my drawers
I saved it from its fate of hanging out eternally with cedar balls.
Eh Voila!
It is quite big.
I am glad I didn't choose a 90 cm scarf because that would have been humongous!
But I should have also chosen a less puffier pillow to display the scarf better.
