The Throw Pillow

I've heard it said that one of the cheapest ways to redecorate a room is to paint it. I beg to differ. Have you priced a gallon of paint lately? Ouch!!

Throw pillows are not only an inexpensive way to introduce a new color to any room, they also add an instant "lived-in" appeal.

These denim beauties convey a homeyness with their mix and match patterns, and yet when grouped together, they also add a touch of luxury that invites you to curl-up and settle in for some real comfort.

This set is available at The Harmony in Life/ Made in Sylvania Shoppe in Sylvania, Ohio. If you're in the area this weekend, you won't want to miss the grand opening!

The Retro Messenger

Why retro?

Take a closer look at the print...large orange flowers...butterflies... groovy hearts...talk about a great blast from the past!

I found this funky print rummaging through an antique store while vacationing in Manistee, Michigan.

In a past 1960's life this fabric worked as kitchen curtains...today, I still gave them window frames to peek out of for their time to shine in the spot light.

The bag was designed to accommodate notebooks--electronic or paper variety, folders, books, pencils, cell phone--you name it! I'm sure it won't disappoint. The long strap was made to be worn across the chest, giving the bag a perfect landing strip at the hip...to be, well...hip for school or office.

Now for the specs...the bag measures 14x13 and features reinforced stitching, top stitching, quilted detailing, full pocketed lining, and a double-button portfolio closure. Fun and function can live in harmony!

Speaking of harmony...this one-of-a-kind Messenger Bag can be purchased at The Harmony in Life Shoppe, found in Sylvania, Ohio, on Main Street. More info on this in an up-coming blog. Stay connected!
