A few weeks ago, Trish from Trouvais pointed me in the direction of a fabulous giveaway at Beadboard UpCountry, the website and blog of Maryanne Flaherty.
Maryanne was giving away a beautiful Italian linen pillow from Arte Pura....
...it is called the Federa Arricci Con Stampa.
I am sure you can imagine my delight when I found out that I was the lucky winner!
This gorgeous, luxurious pillow made of the softest Italian linen arrived today...
Just look at the luscious script and the fabulous deep 6 inch border ...
Scrumptious details...
Sophisticated and elegant...
Thank you so much Maryanne!
I am so grateful for this very generous gift and know that it will be the crown jewel when combined with my antique linens..
These are some photographs of other items from the Arte Pura line...
...Maryanne carries this line in her Euro country boutique in Brenham, Texas.
...and now, about that number 52 copper printer's stamp...
Of course, you are right...
...it is a 25...not a 52.
...even if you turn it upside down...
... it's a 52 with attitude!
silly me!
:)

Congratulations!
I love the images on your blog they are truly lovely...in fact I could just move right in to 52 Flea and be forever content.
Hey, upside down it is a very sassy 52!!
Yes, silly you, Laura. That's one of the best ways to be in my opinion ;)

Congrats! What a beautiful pillow. I didn't notice the 25 : 52 thing either because its so darn pretty!
That is quite the beautiful pillow you received, Laura. As for the stamp, the way I see it it's a "52" unless you use it as a stamp :)
MY goodness aren't you a lucky lady.
Congratulations.

Wow, what a lucky gal you are to have won that stunning pillow, I bet you are on cloud 9! Oh my, how funny that it is a 25 instead of a 52 but if you love it enough it can be any number you want!!
Laura,
That is so beautiful! I am so glad you won it!
