The owner of the Plum Cushion shop, Melanie, is as kind and as talented as they come! I cyber-met Melanie when contacting her about making some KWID Imperial Trellis pillows in the charcoal colorway for a client. Even though she didn't have a listing for that specific colorway in her etsy shop, she was more than happy to make it happen.
I asked Melanie about her background for this post. Don't you just love learning the story behind the genius?
"I formally learned to sew in college, I was a Family and Consumer Sciences major, but I remember sewing Barbie clothes out of silky nightgowns when I was 5 or 6. After college I taught for four years then decided to go back to school for interior design. I've been in the industry for almost five years now. I have a major obsession with high-end textiles. Because of my appreciation for their quality and beauty I'm incredibly persnickety about the construction of my products."
I think it's awesome that she would sew her own Barbie clothes as a child! Not surprisingly, I was obsessed with arranging and rearranging my Barbie's furniture...
Check out some of the fabulousness at Plum Cushion:
Prices start out around $75, which is amazing considering she uses only the best designer fabrics available and includes down inserts with your purchase! With the holidays just around the corner, now would be a good time to order a pair of gorgeous cushions for your best friend, sister, mother (or yourself!!).
And speaking of the holidays, I'm completely loving her Christmas stockings! Such a creative idea!!
Please show Plum Cushion a little love and pop on over to the shop...
