If you are familiar with the wonderful pillows of The Geography Collection, you will appreciate the designs and the many hours of handwork which goes into each piece, turning a humdrum item into a work of art. We like to say that these pillows are heirloom collectibles, because we imagine that they will surely get passed on to a favorite relative or friend and continue to bring joy for years to come.

You may want to know more about how this all happens. At the beginning of the design process, every city, state, region or country is thoroughly researched. Each sketch is developed with input from people who live there. Usually, it becomes a challenge for the designers to fit in all the details that they want to without sacrificing the flavor and sentiments of each place. So if something is not included, please forgive us, as we are full of good intentions - aren't you?

You might think of these pillows as purely souvenir-type gifts for tourists to keep as a fond memento. Or you may think only those hailing or living in a particular place would be interested. Well, both are certainly true! Their success is due to the care in their creation, and the fact that they appeal to both visitor and native alike. They are intended to be fun, colorful, and dare we say, even educational! We hope they touch that part of your heart where good memories are kept and wanderlust exists.

And one more time, "YES, THEY ARE ENTIRELY EMBROIDERED BY HAND!" This accounts for them being unique in nature, since each embroiderer incorporates a certain flair and signature to her work.

As we mentioned on the previous page, we welcome you to e-mail us your opinions on what place(s) you would like to be considered in this collection. Keep those cards and letters coming.

P.S. As a special prize for making it this far, we are imparting to you a foolproof method in the spelling of Geography: George Edwards Old Grandmother Rode A Pig Home Yesterday. Now you're really set for life!
