Bev Hisey dhuri and cushions {giveaway}

Happy Monday! So listen up, people - My talented good friend Bev Hisey is up for a bit of fun and has decided to offer up her new gear in a couple of different giveaways. With Grace over on Design*Sponge she's giving away one of her brand spanking new wool Dhuri rugs, the blue and green one shown below, so click here to get in on that action. And up for grabs with me are two of Bev's latest wool cushions - called Numbers - that have a sweet and modern punky/preppy vibe.

Here are the deets:

>>> The winner will receive the two cushions shown below.

>>> Contest is open to continental US and Canadian readers only.

>>> To be eligible just leave a comment below explaining why your sofa needs these pillows.

>>> Comments will be open until tomorrow night, November 23rd at 12pm EST.

>>> The winner will be announced by email and as an update this to this post on Wednesday morning, November 24th.

Good luck!

And we have a winner! Laura, who let on that she's 574 in dog years, is the lucky duck who'll be receiving Bev's 2 pillows!

Except we have a slight problem - Laura, you didn't leave your e-mail address, so I can't contact you! Can you please leave another comment, and this time include your e-mail address? That would be peachy...

Update on the update! Laura is from Hamilton and is super excited to have won the 2 cushions.

Pretty quirky

More packing today, oh joy, as we near the end of the move between the old house and the semi-1 bedroom. Will this ever end? Today it's the basement and all the tabletop props and fabrics I hang onto for when I'm styling (have a look at the Portfolio to see some of the gear in action).

The other day I ended up in Lucca, a great linen store on Yonge St in Toronto. Pattern and colour are the stores trademarks, my favourites were pieces from John Robshaw. Now I'm a huge linen junkie and in the habit of collecting teatowels (maybe it's a British thing) so at Lucca I was in nirvana. This is of course isn't helped by my sister designing for The White Company, which has unfortunately given me a taste for the finer things when it comes to bed linens.

I headed home and checked out John Robshaw to see what else they had on offer and found these pretty yet quirky handpainted pillows. Just the thing to wake up a tired old blah beige couch.
