Cameo Pillow Giveaway and Other "Fyndes"

One of my favorite online sources for interior design, "Fyndes," is giving away this beautiful deer cameo pillow by British textile designer Margarita Lorenzo. To enter, simply email your name, city, and telephone number to info@fyndes.com. The winner will be chosen at random and notified on Sept. 20. Below are more pillow selections from this creative UK designer, available through Fyndes. All are handprinted and embroidered on ecologically sound organic cotton - beautiful, AND responsible!

Decorating with throw pillows is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to layer a room and make it feel more "finished." I, for one, have a colorful assortment of silk and artisan-created pillows in my own home that I have accumulated over time, which really brings a sense of warmth and personality to our living space. Hopefully I will get around to posting some photos of my own home soon!

Innovative Stackable "Totem" Teacups

Hand-Made Iranian Felt Rugs by Peace Industry

These beautiful and earth-friendly felt rugs from Peace Industry are hand-made in Iran without the use of chemicals or non-organic dyes. They are made in the ancient and very rare tradition of Iranian wool felting which dates back to the Neolithic Age. This dying art form has gained new recognition with the help of Peace Industry founders Melina and Dodd Raissnia, who sought out artisans in Iran to create rugs of their designs, while insuring that all the goods are produced with fair-trade practices. Orders may be placed directly through Peace Industry; certain styles are also available exclusively at Design Within Reach.
