What goes around, comes around

I really like Catherine Zeta-Jones and her new line for the Q. Just a comment on her new decorative pillows. Does anyone remember aunts or grandmothers making similar pillows in the 60s? Brings back memories.

@jannabelle1 ~ Yes!  Many years ago, my mom's very good friend made them for her birthday.  I was thinking I'd like to have one for the 'memories'❤️

Yes I remember ones mom made out of small wale corduroy. I remember gold, green, and red. Look just like the picture. Sweet memories for sure.

Yes... my Aunt had a pillow like that ... a friend made it from spare fabric from their couch... she and my Uncle had a small but wonderful home in the country... where this ‘city girl’ spent summers when I was young. That was the only pillow that we couldn’t curl up on the couch with ... it sat on a chair for ‘decoration’. 

I saw the ones Catherine Z-J offered...and the style was similar, but the colors didn’t work with my bedding... then I spotted one in velvet at TJ Max and I had to have it. Yes, it brings back nice memories.

Yes, I remember my grandparents having similar pillows at their house when I was a little girl (in the 80s though).  That's exactly what they reminded me of as soon as I saw them.

 

I never saw Catherine Zeta Jones present before.  I was in awe of her!  She was funny, charming, and genuinely excited about her products.  It was refreshing to see and I was pleasantly surprised.  I usually don't watch/care for celebrities on QVC.  However, she drew me in with those gorgeous oversized snowflake ornaments.

Absolutely.  My parents had 2 gold ones on their gold couch !

She is so adorable in every way.  She presents with such elegance, beauty, and grace.

The very first time she was on qvc her hubby called in as he was shooting on location, and said how proud of her he was and how he felt on that day she was waiting and preparing for , for so long....adorable.

 

I love her stories of her mother and granny regarding how they would drape fabrics and lace all around the house, and how she was surrounded by desigin ideas at a very young age.  When she was a struggling actor, she would drape those fabrics around her tiny apt to make it feel like home and spruce up some nasty furniture.

 

SHE IS SOMETHING....ELEGANCE AND GRACE AT ITS BEST.

Enjoyed Catherine Zeta Jones  show...  Was refreshing to see somebody different for a change... Qvc has run Josie Maran, Vionic Man, and so many others in the ground .
