Pour on the pillows!

A rainy night ........................

Storms in the Midwest, thundering lightening & Tornado watch. Not uncommon for spring like weather here in Tornado Alley. The claps of thunder & 65 mph wind did wake me up early, so I was searching the web to pass some time. I have lived here my entire life & though there can be some "wacky weather", it is a beautiful place to be. So, with tele on & remote in hand I retired to the family room to keep a watchful eye on the local radar.

While I was keeping informed it was a good time to check on local news, read some blogs & search some idea's. Posting for me, is a unplanned ride with unexpected stops and no "final destination" on reaching a particular place. I like to post on thing, topics,culture & items that I find interesting or inspiring. My goal is to inform readers who may also like a particular style or theme. Or even not, I can say that it is not impossible for me to read a post but get a different view or ideas that inspires something completely different. So, enjoy the pillows........ that I found last evening.

I found some pictures of some great Union Jack pillows, my last post on the UK Flat featured a living room with an amazing union jack pillow on the sofa. I have also seen wonderful distressed one's from The Rug Company.
This little array comes from: Flickr, Etsy, Ballard Designs, & Google images



I thought this pic of the umbrella was fitting since it was pouring outside when I was writing & searching for inspiration.
I like this pic with the black & white and the colored jack umbrella.


These pillows are actually old and worn Union Jack flags cut into pillows. A vintage looking pillow, also a green way to go!

Like this over sized pillow, resting on a formal damask chair.


How cute are these 2 red jack pillows on the ages French bistro apple green chairs?


Another square pillow with the contrast of pop of color vs formality...I think it works!


This one is in a different array of colors... with a Union Jack wallet.

A print of the Queen's image and Union Jacks behind her Royal Highness! I love the detail to the jewelry.

I especially like these, they are so neutral but not. I think I would have a place for a couple of these in my home.

From the Shabby Chic store line, sadly no more. But I like the look of the antique feed sack with the crown in gold, of course stamped on the pillow.

Another crowning version by Ballard designs. This time with a bit of calligraphy & a heart.

Love the Jack pillow collection.. would be cool to see a huge collection put together of just Jack.
Stay safe in the "alley."
