Aren't these ring pillows gorgeous? Anna Whitford believes that wedding ring pillows are just as important as the flowers, the cake and indeed the wedding dress. These ring pillows are created by hand by Anna in the United Kingdom, but she ships worldwide. Anna creates the three-dimensional flower from soft faux suede or metallic leather and hand sculpts it onto silk dupion. Two satin ribbons are at the center of the sculpted flower to tie both his and her wedding rings to the pillow. Because Anna handcrafts these wedding pillows, the brides-to-be are able to pick and choose the color and style flower to suit their wedding theme. See more of Anna's lovely handcrafted ring pillow collection here.

So happy to share with you a sneak peek at Caroline's 2009 Holiday Collection for Paloma's Nest. Caroline tells me the theme for this year's Holiday Collection is "Let Heaven and Nature Sing" as the Holiday line incorporates text that is inspired by lyrics from timeless Holiday Carols. Also featured are natural wood elements, touches of glimmering "angelic" gold leaf and gilding, and of course, Caroline's signature snowy-white ceramic.
Many of the items in the 2009 Paloma's Nest Holiday Collection are Limited Editions and each piece is signed and handcrafted in the Paloma's Nest studio. Some of the pieces are even numbered and many are available with custom text. Be sure to visit the Holiday Collection for even more beautifully handcrafted keepsakes as what's showcased above is just a sampling.
