Welcome to our Etsy shop! 2022 promises to be an exciting year for our business as we look to expand and add new products! We currently sell lavender and balsam sachets as well as destination and wedding/ring bearer pillows featuring vintage postcard images. Our popular balsam sachets are filled with 100% dried balsam fir needles from Maine. Our lavender sachets are filled with 100% dried lavender flowers from France. They are available in an increasing amount of designs! We added a new line of wedding themed sachets as well. All of the sachets can be customized on the back for an event such as a wedding, bridal shower, anniversary or any occasion you chose. If you need a large quantity for an event please contact us.
The destination pillow line currently offers 3 different stylings and 2 different sizes. Chose your favorite postcard image, the style and size you like best and we will create a pillow just for you! Our pleated style features hand tied rope buttons made by my friend Dennis, a retired Merchant Marine Sailor from RopeworkbyDennis.
We have hundreds of postcards in our collection so if you do not see the destination you are looking for, please ask us! We are currently updating our site and photos and it will take us some time to list everything! PLEASE NOTE ; IN ORDER TO SHOW AS MANY POSTCARDS AS POSSIBLE I HAVE STARTED TO PRINT AND CUT THE POSTCARD IMAGES AND LAY THEM ON TOP OF THE 3 DIFFERENT STYLES- THEY ARE NOT SEWN ON IN THE PHOTOS. YOU WILL RECEIVE A FINISHED PILLOW- I PROMISE!!!! :)
Also, if you are a retailer or designer and you are interested in purchasing wholesale, please click the "request custom order" button below. This will initiate a conversation between us and enable us to create a custom wholesale listing for you. Please note- sale items are not available at wholesale prices. Also- we must charge shipping on wholesale orders- free shipping on orders over $35.00 only applies to retail orders.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to disruptions from COVID-19 and potential shipping carrier delays, there’s a chance your package may not arrive on the original estimated date. Please feel free to message us if you have any questions.

5 out of 5 starsMy friend really loves the beautiful butterfly pillow of lavender. She said the scent is “AMAZING”. Lavender was recommended by her nurse for calming affects. Thank you for your speedy delivery.

5 out of 5 starsIt is a beautiful little balsam pillow, even cuter in person. It’s absolutely perfect! I didn’t take it out of the plastic because it’s a gift, but I can smell the balsam just the same. The shipping was much quicker than than expected! Also, thank you for the lavender sachet, I will be back to do my Christmas shopping ❤️

"memories take us back, dreams take us forward" - author unknown
The quote "memories take us back, dreams take us forward" sums up the feeling of our pillow line! We hope that each time you look at one of our specific pillows, you will remember your favorite place or vacation or special event in your life. Or perhaps they will inspire you to create a new memory!
Over the years I've gone from retail management, to interior design, to starting my own custom sewing business when our daughters were small and I wanted to be home with them. I have sewn primarily for very talented decorators and an upscale home furnishings company.
I am really proud of what I accomplished and love the people I worked with, but something had always been missing. After much soul searching I realized that I needed the creative freedom to design my own products. These pillow collections reflect my love of natural fiber textiles, old maps and vintage postcards. My husband, who has a wealth of experience in sales and marketing, is my business partner on this venture.
New to our line at the end of 2018 were sachets! We make lavender year round and balsam during the holidays! They smell absolutely amazing and they're so much fun to make! They have quickly become a best seller for us!
We hope that our pillow collections and sachets remind you of all the things that you love!
