This little Billow traveled over the pond...

Lambie Pie Billow & Whispering Willow Storybook card included...

I know most think of Under the Willow as selling soaps, but our original creation are the "Billows"~ they are small pillows of comfort. And one little Billow made it's way across the ocean to France~ I was thrilled to think of a little Billow in the arms of a little someone, somewhere very far. The sweetest person who sent this gift to a niece was nice enough to let me know it had arrived safely--she wrote:

Hi Carrie

I just thought I would let you know that the BIllow arrived safely and my niece has emailed with glorious thanks. She loved it and was bowled away by it.So, once again, thanks for your usual swift and efficient service and wonderful billows.

Kind regards

Billows...

You know that Under the Willow makes handmade soaps and bath & body products, BUT did you know that we trademarked the Billow as a small pillow of comfort? They are custom 12 by 17 inches of cuddly comfort, all come lined with coordinating fabric~ washable~ and loved by people of all ages. Popular Billows have been the Breast Cancer Awareness Billow~ and our original Billow called, "My 1st Billow." BUT there are many Billows for everyone...after all our motto is:

"When you need to hold a pillow tight~ the size of this Billow may be just right."

All the Billows come with an exclusive Whispering Willow Storybook Cards. Themes included:

• My 1st Billow~ reminisce of a child giving up a blanket or favorite toy


• Spirit, Hope, Belief & Courage~ breast cancer awareness~ printed on seed paper
• Simply Thinking of You~ Why wait? Let someone know you are thinking of them now

Thinking Organic...

Something about all this talk about organic goodness has certainly grabbed my attention... So-in between work, upcoming wedding plans, holidays, etc... I couldn't help but try my hand at some organic pillows & Billows (small pillows of comfort). The top small pillow is the Billow~ and will go to a Twinkle Pink girl...the bottom two are mine!!! After all, before I make them for anyone else- I better be sure they are exactly what I want in softness, durability, comfort...did I mention softness???? Luckily I have found the most butter rich soft certified organic flannel---mind you "Made in the USA." I thought it would be a great idea to start with pillows; after all, we sleep for hours (okay sometimes)---& what could be better than slumbering away on material that is pure, no-dyes, no chemicals...just pure 100 percent organic material... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

These are my babies...

The Storybook Cards that come with each Billow

Well not really my babies...but these storybook cards are part of my heart, & created because of one special baby girl. Years ago, my daughter asked me to make a small pillow for her daughter that was still too small for a big girl pillow, & still too small for an adult pillow-so I covered a "just right size" pillow for her to snuggle up with to go to sleep...So along with the little pillow, I took it one step further & created a little storybook card that was "short & sweet" to go to sleep... BUT, I still needed a name-hummm...Under the Willow was already launched, & now I had this dear little pillow...so it came natural to trademark this creation as a Billow~ simply a small pillow of comfort...made Under the Willow. The original story is called My 1st Billow, & along the way many other Billows ~ pillows of comfort~ have been created. Perhaps one of the most popular has been the Breast Cancer Awareness Billow with the storybook titled: Spirit, Hope, Belief & Courage... And to make this gift a heirloom there is an area on the back of each card that may record who the gift was for, who gave the gift, & the date.

Post Script: My 1st Billow an exclusive story about when a child learns the magic when its time to give up taking the Billow everywhere...reminiscent of giving up his/her blankie & enjoyed by all ages...
