"P" is for Pink Pillows....

Pink is a predominant color in our family room...


... especially in the various throw pillows on the windowseat and chairs.



The windowseat is full of soft and comfy pink flowered pillows ...



Some are made from vintage chenille and some from vintage hankies...



I love the pink chenille rose in the center of this fringed pillow...

This happens to be the chenille throw I'm using on the wing chair right now. I used a pink flowered pillow sham to cover the loose cushion on the chair back.

I picked it up a couple of years ago in a clearance bin at TJ Maxx. I think it was originally intended for a little girl's room. I actually purchase many pieces from the "little girl" departments because there is an abundance of pink and flowers (two of my favorite things!)

And speaking of flowers, since I don't know how much longer my pink poinsettia is going to last (see how the leaves are turning brown?), I thought I'd share a picture of it before it's gone for good. I think this is one of the prettiest pink poinsettias I've ever had... It's a small one, but the pink color was out of this world!!

To see more pink - LOTS more pink - visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for her pink post and to find a list of all the other bloggers who are participating in PINK SATURDAY!!!

COMMENT UPDATE: Thank you all for the kind comments on the chenille and hankie pillows. I wish I could take credit for these beautiful creations, but they were all 'handmade' purchases from eBay several years ago when I started decorating in light cottage colors. I'm so sorry that my wording led some to believe that I had created them myself - I only wish I was that creative in the sewing department!!
