Pillow Pets


I don't know when Fab.com hit the net waves exactly but I'm pretty sure they found me. Probably through the numerous other design websites I subscribe to, these marketers sure know what they're doing. By invading my inbox and popping up with sales on fabulous designs by well known designers such as Milton Glaser and plenty more new design houses I've never heard of before. Long story short, I got hooked and signed up. I'm a huge design junkie but I've been falling way out of love for super streamlined, modern, plastic, what I call "surgical" design fads, it can be so impersonal. I'm not in the market to buy anything aside from groceries but if I were, I now know where to go to for new names in design and supre-cool unique gifts.

(reminisce of my white kitty, Pinky)

That's why these pet pillows from Pillow, Pillow, Pillow by illustrator Aaron Stewart caught my eye. The silly, simple illustrations, the handmade quality, to me, hold their place in the design world, and more importantly my heart, just as much as the highest technology in polypropelene. Besides pet marketing is where its at since they are the new offspring of the 20-30 somethings, smart cookie.
