...but he has everything!!!

Okay, so we all have friends that live

 exciting lives traveling, 
 are smart, creative

and successful.
They are caring and treasured friends.
They always know what I want.
A toast with some good
champagne,

a travel adventure

a good book and

 lots of laughs.

Easy.

But my question is what do you give 
them 
as a gift? 

That is what happened to me.

My dear friend
Matthew Patrick Smyth,
 who always thought

of me and knew exactly what

would make me happy, even

if it was NOT an occasion,
was having a birthday.
I was stumped...

So, I found a photo of his 
Connecticut home

and made it into a pillow.

I used a fabric from his collection for 
F.Schumacher 

and left the grommets in it.

(Yes, I snagged it from the showroom...officer.)
A touch of black.

Then I thought, why don't I do

 this for clients

of projects that I do?
And what about the perfect 
gift for other designers?

You could find a historical photo of

the house and it would

be a great reminder of the  
life of the home.

Or the family?

What about the original
 blueprints?

Or just a wonderful 
sketch if you have one?

So, let your imagination run wild.
I'm sure you will think of something
fabulous to put a smile on
your clients faces.
Oh, and you know I can
design a pillow
for you in no time!
