My husband and I spent time last weekend looking for a pillow display. Something new, something unfinished, something old- and that’s what snagged us. A metal and wood stand that had a “je ne sais quoi” look…about it. Ever look for something and all of a sudden there it is, and you had no idea it would look like that? Here’s a peek- still have to get it, still have to figure out a workaround so the pillows stand up in it, but we think it’s Towerjust the right thing. Isn’t  it great? Now, we just have to figure out where it goes and with WHOM. Much bigger questions.
