We have had so much interest in antique grain sacks over the past few weeks! First with the different ways you can use linens and grain sacks in your home, and, secondly, rare, antique grain sack pillows and upholstery from textile artist, Kym Fraser at Three Fine Grains.
To celebrate the launching of her new website and on line store, Kym is offering one of our readers their choice between two rare, antique pillows.Would you like this lovely German grain sack printed with stripes? As you recall many are printing reproductions over grains sacks to get this look, but this pillow is a true original! An antique German grain sack from 1849. Very rare salmon and blue coloring.
Or this German Grain sack with roses which are very rare and usual? It has a wonderful original patch at the top which is amazing. This is the only one she has ever seen with roses before. This pillow is from 1899 Authausen, Germany.
Just leave a comment below and you will be entered to win one of these pillows. I will randomly select one winner from the comments next Thursday and Kym will ship you your choice of one of these two pillows.Here are a few more of Kym's new items. Check out these gorgeous new stools!
And I love her collection of new Bolster pillows!

While I may be a 27 year old southern guy who likes to hunt, throw the football and a few back with the boys; something about my New Orleans upbringing instilled a fondness for beautiful interiors and historic objects.
ReplyDeleteThe pillow with blue stripes would be a daily reminder of my German roots and the stripes would echo the blue of my great-granddaddy's original WWII posters that hang above the sofa adding to the living room tableau that tells the story of the Gent who lives there.
Thanks 3Fine Grain and Willow Decor!

Hi Kym,
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome blessing your beautiful pillows will be in anyone's home! I am sure hoping that I am the lucky recipient of one! My husband and I have been trying to decorate our new home which has definitely been incredibly exciting but also quite challenging especially since I was diagnosed with a very rare neurovascular disease last year. Since that time, pillows have become invaluable to me! I've learned to use all different types of pillows...in all shapes, sizes, colors and textures, and for many different reasons! I use them for accessorizing, for sleeping and now I especially use them to ease the pain I suffer each and every day. I could not live without my pillows!!
It would truly be an honor and a blessing to add one of your treasures to my collection!
Many Blessings,
~Joy~
It is so incredible to see these wonderful old grain sack pillows.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Germany, I spend a lot of time as a kid in a village near Dresden, Saxony, where my grandfather managed the local mill. In these days many farmers brought their own little harvest there to get the flower. I do not remember such lovely sacks... that was in the sixties, everything was the new material, some kind of plasic/nylon.
Hope the lucky winner will cherish them!
I have been searching for the right grain sack pillows for a while and finally found what I've been imaginging in my head. These are stunning- true works of art. Thank you for showcasing them on your fabulous site!
ReplyDeleteA raffle...sign me up!!! What gorgeous pillows, etc. I love Kymberley's website; I love her artistic abilities!! I love both of the pillows, so I'm not going to jinx myself by choosing one over the other; at least not yet. And, thank you, Willow Decor for showcasing such a wonderfully talented woman!!!
