NY Cushions



For a bit of fun we picked up some I love NY tote bags when we were in NYC a few weeks ago to make into cushions for the shop.  We selected a few different fabrics to put onto the backs of them.  We only have 3 left...we should have bought more!

    Oh I love them... And I too love NY. My husband and I lived there for two years (1997-1999) before kids! Funny how I now love those kinds of things more than when I lived there. I guess I thought they were too touristy when I lived daily with this visual. Great idea making them into cushions (adore the piping) Pruxxx

    Good idea - turning bags in to cushions and having a bit of NYC back at home! KG

    You really did have a lovely NY trip and I love seeing remnants from your stay appear here on your blog and in your shop. I think I need to send a care package of "I love NY" souvenirs. I always love sending bits of NY in an artfully packaged fashion.

    Are you playing "New York, New York" in your shop?

    I totally love that you put your own spin (trim) on them, great idea!
    Watch for people copying your idea, I can already see it... :)

    As a New Yorker, of course I think it's a genius idea! As a designer blogger, I second that!

    hi A

    Your friend RM gave me a divine Black and Spiro cushion as a baby gift. Naturally I love it 11/10.

    Let's catch up soon. I'll get My People to Contact Your People. x

    If you like pillows, you might like the ones I just profiled from an Aussie designer. They're really pretty too.

    Love it! I grew up only 15 miles from NY City and I used to love the TV ads with the song "I love New York..." - it was a great jingle! :0
