Nest Pillow Giveaway

This Valentine’s Day, what could be better than finding a note from a secret admirer in your mailbox? How about a gorgeous and totally free Nest Pillow by Thomas Paul in fresh spring green to liven up that sofa or comfy chair!

Not only am I thrilled to be hosting this giveaway event, with an item of my own choosing from All Modern, it seems I have fallen madly in love with the work of Thomas Paul, a NYC textile and fashion designer who’s home collection is featured on the site. A man after my own heart, Thomas Paul favors modern vintage prints with punchy colors, and offers a full range of decorative floral and natural curiosity inspired themes, all rendered in bold graphic style.

Tell me why you're feeling the love for this fabulous accent pillow and how you intend to add a splash of bright color to your current decor, in the comments section of this post, and next Saturday I’ll announce one lucky winner!

Please note, this giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents only.

It's Me Cathy

I am still swooning from part one of Masterpiece Classic's new adaptation of Emily Brontë's brutal and passionate story of uncivilized emotion run amuck on the solitary windswept moors, Wuthering Heights. Fortunately I can watch it again and again at pbs.org.

I awoke this morning with the operatic voice of Kate Bush in my head, and had to watch her 1978 “Wuthering Heights” video on YouTube, an odd geisha style ballet pantomime of the story, which satisfied my craving for more of the turbulent and ultimately thwarted love affair of high-spirited Cathy Earnshaw and her dark brooding Heathcliff.

I imagine myself a modern day Cathy coming home at last, dressed for blustery weather and grey skies on the Yorkshire moors in a flowing empire waist ecru linen dress with a cropped fitted wool jacket in periwinkle blue, my long raven hair untamed by pins or clips, my neck adorned with a neoclassic cameo pendant in sage green and white jasper ware on a modern biker curb chain dipped in shiny 24k gold.

Cynthia Rybakoff vintage green cameo pendant in modern 24k vermeil setting, edition 1/1, $575, by request at CynthiaRybakoff.com.
