Two of my pillow covers were featured in the November 2012 issue of Better Homes & Gardens in a festive piece titled, "Golden Age" by the talented Amy Panos. The piece was photographed by Cameron Sadeghpour, and styled by Stephen Perfetto {love his last name!}

I finally got my hands on a copy of the issue and I'm so thrilled. You can spot my two pillow cover designs on pages 43 and 45.

I'm pretty excited to have one of my pillow covers featured in the November issue of Better Homes & Gardens. I'm not sure which pillow cover they used in their "Metallics" feature, but I can't wait to see how they styled and photographed it.

To celebrate having one of my pillows in Better Homes & Gardens, I'm giving away a pillow cover to the first two people who spot my pillow in the magazine, take a photo of it, and share the photo on Twitter, Pinterest and/or Facebook. The first two people will win the pillow cover of their choice from {me}longings studio shop.
