DIY Applique Pillow by Anna Joyce for Liberty of London

Portland-based designer Anna Joyce recently created this gorgeous DIY Applique Pillow Tutorial for Liberty of London using their new Liberty Lifestyle fabric line. The results are simply lovely! With the tutorial Anna includes downloadable templates so you can easily recreate the pretty design on her pillow. Just think of what a wonderful gift a handmade pillow would be. I just might be adding this onto my holiday gift making list!

If you'd like you can find more from Anna Joyce in her shop and on her site. She also just recently launched her new Fall 2012 textile collection and it's 50 kinds of awesome. Check it out!

Pinterest Pros: Set No.7

Hi friends! I can't believe we are already at the end of the first week of October! Wow!

I'm sorry I missed out on posting a new set of Pinterest Pros last week. I got to Friday and just didn't have even one more post in me. Anyhow, I'm back today (a little bit late because I'm sick, boo) with a quick dose of Pinterest Pro goodness. These picks are three of my personal faves...next week I'll be sure to include a few of your nominations as well. Thanks for keeping all the good recommendations coming. I love it! I hope you'll enjoy these inspiring Pinterest mavens and have a lovely weekend too! xo Ez

My Fall Favorites

Oh Fall...I love you so! If only you could stay a while longer and not turn all cold and indifferent just when I become attached. Le sigh!

This season (brief as it might be) has me loving anything with a contrast of both hard and soft, metallic and muted. How about you? What's topping your Fall must-haves list (or Spring favorites if you're in the Southern Hemisphere)? xo Ez

• Ladylike Tops // Madewell and J.Crew
• Boots, Boots, Boots // Madewell
• Perfectly Polished // Target (Good as Gold and Licorice)
