I’m a pillow fanatic and have (had) pillows strewn all over the place. Instead of taking pictures in my trips, I picked up art and pillow covers. In doing my Annual De-Clutter-Get Rid of Stuff- Spring Cleaning- I realized my pillow days were over. So what to do will all these pillows, especially the pillows from places of which I have fond memories.
