These pillows are filled full of lavender buds
and mint and lemon peel and hops and and...
The pictures are really pages from very old
fabric nursery books. I find them at flea mkts
and antique malls, all wrinkled, pages askew,
marked up with pencil marks by children long
ago. Monkey hand-stitches them onto the
fabric backing and piles in the French lavender.
The pillows become like little frames for the
picture pages, and they smell good too. This
is a way to preserve them and share these
little pieces of history.
