i want, i need, i have to have

ever since marianne at haven and home posted pictures of this gorgeous pillow, i've been searching the internet to see if i can find (a) giraffe print pillows and (2) brown and green grosgrain ribbon to recreate this look.



(according to marianne's blog, this pillow was featured on the cover of a book by john loecke entitled "grosgrain style".

unfortunately, i'm not having any luck finding a giraffe print pillow that seems to be of decent quality and is not ridiculously expensive - no luck on a similar ribbon, either.

in my researching, i came upon this pillow (on sale at crate and barrel - sorry for the lack of image, cb is not cooperating) and this giraffe print grosgrain ribbon (on ebay).


while it's not the same, do you think these two would work together to create a look similar to the pillows above that i love? also, anyone seen a great looking and reasonably priced brown giraffe print pillow on the web?

Oh I love those pillows! Would you have to unstuff them to be able to sew the ribbon on, or do you have to do it by hand? Maybe it's just glued on? Anyway, I know I've seen a giraffe pillow somewhere. I can't remember if it was online or in a store but I'll try to find it. And for the ribbon, what about Baer downtown - they have everything!

Have you tried Dee's? They are off Shelbyville Rd, across from the mall, they have all kinds of decorative pillows, as well as fabric, ribbons, etc. Good luck! Cute pillows! Are they for your new couches in the great room??
