Travel Pillows

Travel pillows are here! 

 

I came up with the idea of travel pillows when I came across an airline pillow I received on a flight as a child. I remember holding my dads hand and walking through the door as the stewardess greeted us with "Good Morning and Welcome Aboard!". After we took off she came by and gave me a pin of plastic wings. Later, when it came to night she gave me a pillow. I acquired two of them from our trip. I received one with a blue pillow case on the way there and one with a yellow gold pillow case on the way back. They were 12" long by 9" wide. 



After we returned home from our travels, I used these pillows in my cradle my grandpa made. I still have them from all those years ago. I now have a porcelain doll I made a number of years ago sleeping on top of the pillows in the cradle.



A few years ago I had a flight to Chicago for a seminar and asked the flight attendant for a pillow. I found that they were nothing like I had received as a child. I was given this its y bits y tiny white thing that barely covered an ear and it didn't have a pillow case.  It was just a tiny white pillow form that didn't really have a lot of stuffing in it. Honestly, it was a poor substitute from years ago. 

I was recently cleaning my out my storage and pulled out my cradle with the pillows. I thought others might like too purchase their own pillow. I am making the travel pillows like they use to make when I was a child, only with a little bit of embroidery on the edge of the pillow case. =)

I hope you enjoy them!
