To My Dear Family,

Since Mother's Day is coming soon and you're often asking me what I'd like as a gift (besides your love, of course), I thought I would give you an idea. One word: pillows.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0n1UOi7xxv1NOchCyg7FTmsOOk79m23jrNBvdnuD4wF-bfbtzP50mygtyvp0PQHm07rH4Hk6g_pzBAbd5kxr28A9_uXKeZUk0W9WWybP0Q-BhEZfsJNI2aC4e23z5wwgLbOzK9bxqNmqj/s1600/il_fullxfull.237353477.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0n1UOi7xxv1NOchCyg7FTmsOOk79m23jrNBvdnuD4wF-bfbtzP50mygtyvp0PQHm07rH4Hk6g_pzBAbd5kxr28A9_uXKeZUk0W9WWybP0Q-BhEZfsJNI2aC4e23z5wwgLbOzK9bxqNmqj/s400/il_fullxfull.237353477.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Specifically, these <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/72485041/david-hicks-la-fiorentina-cushions-coral?ref=sr_gallery_2&ga_search_query=la+fiorentina+coral&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade">pillows from Etsy</a>. A little La Fiorentina in coral would add some much needed punch to our family sofa. See, it would really benefit us all. I'm being the selfless mother once again.</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj13DwOg6k3AwPqySFH5ZGshuGi1HQzonqxljvHPhLYj0eFWIKihrMrlQVgkiS-W3yLDWA5JyNSSBOSqhJm4EaXC4wC0AhmjfC1LPY1nAGb3wzv2TDm-GPE-MIUppMSWCeJ7yhnmXX7Uay/s1600/IMG_0311.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj13DwOg6k3AwPqySFH5ZGshuGi1HQzonqxljvHPhLYj0eFWIKihrMrlQVgkiS-W3yLDWA5JyNSSBOSqhJm4EaXC4wC0AhmjfC1LPY1nAGb3wzv2TDm-GPE-MIUppMSWCeJ7yhnmXX7Uay/s400/IMG_0311.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The zebra pillows from West Elm are looking a little worse for wear these days.</td></tr></tbody></table>And of course, once the sofa gets a facelift, I'd hate to ignore the slipper chairs. Never fear, I found a little pick-me-up for them (and me) as well . . .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhecobkob4YzwD412lCKGq_SbujOBzBzoMWWSn26TXJkFH0lOkLmhJ9_C7OYFIMGnvrVc9wGeUm4xWeBixb52LGckTL38dVcwiVTwAimjaPcM_xMbUZ_36S6ZnNp26iAEUU1olxWecKi-8o/s1600/il_fullxfull.154698278.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhecobkob4YzwD412lCKGq_SbujOBzBzoMWWSn26TXJkFH0lOkLmhJ9_C7OYFIMGnvrVc9wGeUm4xWeBixb52LGckTL38dVcwiVTwAimjaPcM_xMbUZ_36S6ZnNp26iAEUU1olxWecKi-8o/s400/il_fullxfull.154698278.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">This <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/50154912/multi-ikat-print-pillow">ikat chevron/flamestitch pillow</a> would fit the bill nicely. I'm loving the corals and chartreuse yellowy-green.
