Where in the Heck Have I Been and How Much Longer 'Til Fall?

I have been thinking about fall and the 110 plus temperatures have just made it difficult to move or write.  Design predictions or trends are all over the map.  Think of all the stylist that work for catalog companies and you can just imagine how difficult it is for them or buyers for your local shops to think about fall and winter when the temps are in the hundred plus category.  One item that can make a big change or impact on your decor is the addition of decorative pillows.  Pillows make a big impact when considered to make seasonal change.  Two types of pillows that will be everywhere this fall are crewel embroidered pillows and suzani pillows.

Here is a set of suzani style embroidered pillows from Acacia.com.  This set offered at $103.97 for three give much bang for the buck.  Two sets of these on a neutral sofa would set the tone immediately for the fall season.

This little number from Cost Plus World Market is only $ 19.99.  Added to other fall pillows will add that ethnic look that is so popular for fall.

These two are original Suzani pillow covers from Uzbekistan for sale on www.eBay.com. The price is $ 32.00 - $ 42.00 for two.  The workmanship is incredible for the money.  Just look like fall on a pillow to me.

Another set of eBay Uzbek pillows.

Another category of pillows that add punch for fall is the crewel or the embroidered pillow.

These two felt with crewel embroidery sport colors that are hot for fall.  Purple,lavender and orange.  These two are available on www.amazon.com for between $ 9.00 and $ 12.00.  So much color for so little money.  Can see these in a nursery as well.

These two traditional crewel beauties are from www.potterybarn.com  and will add a touch of fall to any decor.

From Pier I Imports a softer crewel for $ 29.95.

For those with a modern approach to decor these crewels fit the bill.

These two are offered by www.PillowsandThrows.com for $ 120.00.  Nutmeg and sage green inspire us to think about fall and cooler temps.

These two bright, happy fall beauties are embroidered and are from www.bedroomfurniture.com.  They can add the right touch to any room for  $ 75.00 - $ 85.00.
