Pillow Puzzle and Toggle Tutorial


When I started thinking about all the potential pillow patterns (how many P's can Linda put into a post?) available...I knew I needed some guidance. My friend and designer extraordinaire, Nicole @ Nicole Scott Designs, was the perfect choice for this look.

There were several renditions and tweaking, so this is not the final one


What I loved about working with Nicole was how easy it came together for her. Nicole sourced pillows from all over Etsy. When I agreed on the final design, she sent me a link list of all the sellers. Many of them give her clients a bit of a discount.

I can tell you that one of these beautiful pillows will definitely be in the picture.


It's from Leslie's shop Pillow Love. I wish I found her shop sooner....I am so addicted to her pillows!

These would be great for a girls room or even a nursery.

These Celerie Kemble blue and white fabric ones need to be in my family room.

Yeah, yeah...one room at a time. Who does that?

Alright, let's hang a toggle bolt. The toggle is the bending piece on the end of the screw. Almost any machine screw can be used as a toggle. I loved the circle on the end of this one, and the friendly one of the two guys at the hardware store fitted it for a toggle. He's like us, he thinks this stuff is fun.


Here is my tutorial in pictures...so easy...no need for additional words.





Have a great weekend, besties! I'll be putting my pillow puzzle together. 

What are you doing this weekend? Does it involve food or alcohol?

Nantucket Style....Nicole Scott

I remember it well, I was new to blogging and read an article about nasty comments. I left the comment "I have never received any comments, so I can't relate". AND then, Nicole Scott came and visited my blog!


We have been friends ever since. 


Linda is a very special friend. She's the first person I ever connected with when I started my blog, and vice-versa. Lucky me huh?  So, because I adore her, I jumped at the chance to guest post this month for 31 days of Nantucket.  Now, you might think that if you're having '31 days of Nantucket' on your blog it may not seem like a logical choice to wrangle your Polish Canadian pal from the west coast of British Columbia to submit a guest blog post...I mean what do I know about Nantucket right? But don't worry peeps, Linda's a genius and geared me toward my current passion which is selling Etsy Pillows. Everyone Loves Pillows Right?!

With mission in hand I first consulted a map (since I've never been), fired up the old Pinterest wheel and immediately found some inspiration from the Nantucket area. I have matched some awesome pillows from Etsy to my inspirations that I hope you will like. Check them Out!
