For quite some time, I’d been looking to replace two very worn throw pillows in our family room. This room’s a high traffic area, right off the kitchen and favored by my three children, I didn’t want to spend a lot. While shopping in Greenwich, I came across two beautiful Suzani pillows that I knew would be perfect, but at $225.00 each, I decided to keep looking. On a whim, I googled the name of the fabric (I took home a “tear sheet” from the shop). I was more than thrilled to see the name of Etsy seller Turquoise Tumbleweed come up in my search results! Not only did this store carry my exact pillows, but they were only $59.00 each! I found so many additional options that I had a hard time choosing, but ended up sticking with my initial choice. I love that they have this textural 3D quality to them. Here is a shot of the old pillow, the new and some more great pillows from Turquoise Tumbleweed, which is really worth checking out… they’re all lovely!

My goodness, what a mark-up! Good on you for finding them on etsy for so much less! They're beautiful and look lovely in your house. Nicolex
I purchased a similar fabric at onlinefabricstore.net for about $38 a yard. I love the fluffy center. Your pillow looks great on your blue and white checked chair. $225 for a pillow…give me a break!
It pays to do your homework! Love the pillows–they are gorgeous!!
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I love yours – you have great style! The new pillow looks fab – enjoy it.
One of the BEST blog posts EVER! Isn't this amazing? Love love love your new pillows and they look perfect in their new home. This story is one of the reasons I hope to sell my jewelry myself as the retailers mark-up is SO high I feel like, as a designer I'm being ripped, but the clientele is so limited. 210% markup in some stores. I working to make this successful, and will forage on into more styles on Etsy. Love you, Sue.
Geez…what is better than saving about $150.00!! More shoes 🙂
