Debra works from an 18th century carriage barn in the New England countryside,

her pillows are meticulously handcrafted with respect for their past.

Her passion for antique textiles stems from their rich history,

vibrant color and exquisite craftsmanship.

A piece of history as well as a piece of long forgotten art

she feels her pillows and textiles are truly pieces of another time,

to be enjoyed for years to come.
