Very exciting news today. My friend Rebecca Vizard has
written a fabulous book called Once Upon a Pillow and it is officially available today!
You may remember I did a blog about Rebecca and her drop dead
gorgeous pillows. If you didn’t see it you can read it HERE.
Rebecca is a girl after my own heart. We both love pillows,
tapestries, antique fabric and trim but she is the foremost expert on all of
it. Her company, B.Viz Design, is based out of Louisiana which creates the
pillows that top interior designers covet and her pillows have graced the
covers of national publications such as House Beautiful, Veranda, Elle Decor,
Traditional Home and Architectural Digest. Look look look…
Rebecca scours the globe sourcing her textiles and the
result is nothing less than fabulous. What I love most about her pillows is
that there is a subtle chicness. She chooses just the right blues, just the
right oranges, just the right beiges and knows exactly the perfect
embellishments. When Rebecca visited me in Paris, she brought me a very special
gift. Take a look…
This particular pillow could not have been more perfect for
me. That heart with the sunburst with the sword and the perfect silvery beige
velvet! Every time someone walks into my apartment the first thing they ask is,
“Where did you get that gorgeous pillow!” Pillows are always the icing on the
cake, no, make that the cherry on top of the icing on the cake. I like to keep
things neutral and then pop with a pillow and Rebecca’s pillows are just
perfect for that.
According to the press release, “Once Upon a Pillow features a study collection of pillows all
designed by Rebecca. Celebrated for her innovative use of rare antique textiles—
from the embroidered metallic threads or ecclesiastical vestments to Venetian
Fortuny and Central Asian suzanis-her designs present a perfect balance of art
and material culture.”
A perfect gift for yourself and perfect gift to give for
Christmas! Sweet, generous Rebecca has donated a pillow that will be available
for the December Have Some Decorum Home sale and 100% of the proceeds will go
to ALS research in honor of Rebecca’s friend who has ALS, like me. ALS is apparently
the “It” disease of the moment. :-)

*Something you don’t know about me? I still have a huge
surprise to share with all of you but I have to wait until it’s a done deal so
I don’t jinx it. Trust me, I’m bursting at the seams to tell all of you. It’s
killing me, killing me not to be able to tell you guys. But soon, soon soon
soon.
