Talking about the little brown bird figurine in the previous post, reminded me about the discovery I made a few days prior to Delaney's party. This is another little something I wanted from my Grandma's. This pillow was the #1 thing that reminds me of her house in Illinois. I love it, mainly because she made it.
It has a zipper in the back which I was leery of undoing for fear of what was inside. The pillow had seen better days and I could tell the filler was broken down and it would be quite dusty but I knew I wanted to clean it up and slip in a new form.
Well, when I unzipped it, I found this:
I was SO excited! It's stitched all the way around so I'll have to find someone who can safely take the seam out and re-stuff it for me. (I'm thinking about adding a green covered button to the middle too). I can't wait to call my Aunt to find out the story behind this pillow and the different fabrics used to make it.
Happy discovery...happy me*!*

Hi Di!! I'm checking in from the Grand Hotel. Actually, hubby forgot his phone cord, so I'm recharging his phone with the hotel computer.
So happy to find your new post so I have something to read. Lovin' these stories about Grandma's special things.
I volunteer to fix up the pillow for you and add a green button! Grandma was GOOD with embroidery...a very special pillow!
I remember seeing that pillow! Love what's underneath too. Reminds me of a quilt have from a great grandma.
Love both of those! and I feel like I haven't seen you in forever..thanks for stopping by..Loving all your photos..your girls are so adorable!
That was a fabulous find!! I would have been excited too. Love the bird pillow as well.
Oh how fun! That is a treasure! :)
What a wonderful find. See if your re-stuffer could put a zipper in for you. Just a thought.
