New John Robshaw Pillow
Please say hello to my new John Robshaw Handpainted Fort Pillow. I don’t know if you’re like me but when I buy three pillows in one week, I feel the need to justify the purchase so here goes.
First, I love John Robshaw.
Second, I love drawings.
Third, I love anything handpainted.
Fourth, this fort reminds me of the forts we visited last year in India:
And fifth, it was like half the original price through One Kings Lane.
I think I’m pretty good at this justifying thing because I don’t feel guilty at all! I guess that’s what happens when you get plenty of practice(!) Have you bought anything interesting lately?
[Update: I think my site should be up and running normally now. But if you're still having problems with it being slow, please let me know. Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience!]

I really love the way you write and the way you are justifying things! Good on you for not feeling quilty at all.. I have the same!
I love to tell my new bedding is nearly as expensive as the floor , I was lying in my new bedroom haha I don't care as I think I deserved it! …. man I have been dreaming for years of some more space to sleep… as I always gave the big rooms to my children… So I think I can even justify it
By the way those last picture in your previous post gave me an excellent idea to make a bed table.. I love magazines and I have loads of them so a good place to place my bed lamp, ad I broke my lovely little white lamp yesterday by putting it on my candle stick. So thank you for the inspiration
all the best from Amsterdam

Wow, how stunning is that! I just got three new pillows as well! (last post) Not nearly as exclusive as yours though
What are the other two pillows like? Where is the JR going?

Gorgeous pillow – I can just imagine this fitting in so well in your beautiful home. I recently bought a chrome ampersand and it serves no purpose except that it sits on my desk and it's simply lovely to look at!

Don't feel guilty because it's sure a very nice pillow and half the price…You should be proud instead..

I love John Robshaw pieces! I recently bought 3 carpets while I was in Iraq and even with the overweight luggage fee – I feel no guilt

Wait – what? I missed a Robshaw event on OKL? Dammit!
I love that collection and can't decide which lovely building I would buy. Yours is an excellent choice. Even better that it evokes such beautiful memories.
I've been buying lots of late and need to slow down given all of the repairs our new home is going to need.

Dagny: The other two are not as fab. A striped bolster and a faux white fur.
Raina: You gotta be on top of that OKL! Like today, all the good Missoni stuff is already sold out. It's only 9:00 AM over here!
favorite and best and Dagny: That's the sad part, I don't even know where it's going to go!!! Will keep you posted though.
mise: I'll keep that in mind for when you visit!
bananas: That's right – you've made some mad buys lately, haven't you?
It's beautiful… I love pillows… and look at yours!!! it's fantastic

Alek, I just went back and looked through my trashed emails.
The Robshaw announcement on OKL was prefaced with "FatBoy Doggie Loungers."
I read no further.
That will teach me.

Love it! (I’m trying to avoid clicking on the One Kings Lane emails because it’s all too tempting).
PS The site opens really fast now!

I don’t blame you! Pillows are addictive. And don’t feel bad. If it makes you happy and brings good memories for your trip, then it’s totally worth it

Yummy pillow….. looks gorgeous…I used to try and justify everything that I bought but now…..I don't bother !!!!!!! He He XXXX
.-= Jacqueline´s last post ..MODERN TECHNOLOGY……good when it works, rubbish when it doesn't….. =-.
Very nice. If I were visiting you I’d pack it in my suitcase by mistake as I was leaving.
Oh Alek, that pillow is beautiful. You’re going to have such great memories every time you look at it, so it is certainly a worthwhile investment.

The art of justification is a wonderful thing!

I LOVE that pillow! I am on the hunt for a nice runner rug, but I guess I am going pillow shopping instead!
I LOVE IT! I was 'this' close to buying it on OKL too….SO GORG. I held myself back because I have no sofa. No sofa until some time early 2010. Miserable!! Great buy Alek!!!
Raina: And you weren't in the market for a Fat Boy? How odd.
but girl, you don't have to explain to us do you..?! we all understand the NEED of buying lots of pillows
