Geisha Pillow
August Morgan. Isn't that just a wonderful name? Worthy of the lead character in a Ron Howard film. But then you would expect a name like that from two witty and creative people like Kate Hersch and Lance Avery Morgan. Mix Hersch's back round in art history and Sotheby's with Morgan's know-how in publishing and the corporate machine, and you create the perfect storm.
Sunny Pillow
Hersch uses her wealth of knowledge to ferret out vintage needlepoint's from around the globe recreating them into one-of-kind- pillows. I thought you might like to know about her talent. Ahem...bookmark worthy!
Don't Be Crewel Pillow
After perusing their website, I picked my favorites. Well......there were many more, so you will just have to hop over and check them out for yourselves. Believe me....there is something for everyone, from "Glam" to "Geisha" to "Modern" to.....yes, even "Magic Mushrooms".
Wee Picasso Pillow
Little pieces of art....that's what they are.
Surf and Turf Pillow
The Perfect Couple Pillows
Hounds Pillows
I don't want to forget the very clever furniture. I think I like these even more because of the various needlepoint's that have been pieced together in such unexpected ways. Wouldn't it be nice to own a piece of art you can use as well as look at?
American Icon Chair
Just Us Girls Screen
And here they are....that perfect storm I was mentioning above: Lance Avery Morgan and Kate Hersh. August Morgan.

Jeepers. Do you see the pillow she is holding in the last photo?? I needlepointed that design on a fat, tasseled pillow for my sister-in-law this past Christmas!!! A cardinal couple on a snowy tree limb. I guess I need to check and make sure she didn't sell it on ebay!!
Hi all! They are great aren't they? I had a hard time narrowing it down.
Pamela! That is too funny! I am sure your SIL would not be unwise enough to part with such a beautiful pillow! Ther is something about cardinals. We don't have them in California and I have always wanted to see one.
oh wow - what a crazy cool find!! the chair is incredible, but i'm really loving the abstract quality of the surf & turf pillow. and the perfect couple is really perfect!
Thank you for the incredible blog post, and the kind comments! I am over the moon with happiness!
I love the American idol chair, great humour mixed with a classic shape, briliant!
