![]() On a shopping trip to Favor the Kind, an eclectic home and clothing shop with locations in Dallas, Houston, and Crested Butte, Colorado, I found the perfect gift (a needlepoint pillow) for my sister, who I'd been living with in Dallas through most of the pandemic. ![]() After all, we saw these in our grandparents' homes decades ago, so the style didn't just "come out of nowhere." According to Town and Country, interior designer Mario Buatta is said to have created the OG pillow when he added a bold touch to a bedroom bolster, embroidering it with "Tonight" on one side and "Not Tonight" on the other in the mid-1900s. While new and popular, this idea of a cheeky needlepoint pillow isn't original. It's official: Needlepoint pillows are making a comeback! A playful play to the nostalgia of decorations past, retailers and boutiques like Jonathan Adler, Furbish Studio, The Well Appointed House are stocking up on a creative array of uniquely crafted pillows featuring vibrant prints, geometric designs, and iconic sayings from the likes of Cher ("Mom, I am a Rich Man") and Patrick Swayze ("Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner"). Even in recent years, I've asked my friends with needlepoint pillows-seen carefully placed in their Manhattan studio apartments and vanities at home in Georgia-why they love them or have a few of their own, and there's a story behind every answer: "Oh, my grandmother always collected them," or "We're a needlepoint family," or "I just learned to needlepoint during quarantine-aren't they kinda fun?!" among them.Īnd, honestly, my friends and I are not alone. ![]() In that time, needlepoint pillows were often among the treasures found in the well-loved homes of the older generation-mostly because they were bright and colorful and, while an inanimate object, they somehow seemed to show personality and a glimpse into the quirks of your grandparents that maybe you didn't quite know at a young age. And, for some (me included), it was also a chance to explore a home full of family antiques and figurines and things so interesting you couldn't help but ask for the story behind them. I’m so glad I made the decision to buy my baavet products I want more now.As a kid growing up in the South, a visit to your grandparents' house was an adventure for many reasons-you might get to play a favorite game, eat a snack your mom didn't let you have, or get to spend time with your cousins. But I must say my sleeping temperature was perfect all night not too hot and not too cold just perfect. The pillows where just right I usually have 2 pillows but not tonight the 1 wool pillow was just right.Īt first I thought my new baavet was very thin compared to old down and feather duvet and was worried I would be chilly. So just woke up after my first night wow what an amazing nights sleep. I couldn’t wait for night time to come and go to bed ! I loved all the little extras included like a sample of the baavet inside to show me the wool and also the little lavender bag to infuse my new baavet with a lavender scent. I wasn’t disappointed the overall quality of the products is amazing you can tell a lot of love goes into production. Once ordered the products where quickly delivered to me. They responded very quickly and was helpful with the questions I had. I emailed them before hand with a couple of questions I had. ![]() So I went ahead and ordered my medium king size baavet and 2 900g pillows. I looked around for a while on the internet but kept coming back to these guys. I was looking into wool products and came across baavet. Wow I am so glad I purchased my new baavet and pillows. ![]()
