Howaboutfrankie: Beautiful Handmade cushion covers

Last week I bought this super cool cushion cover at Howaboutfrankie. I like it a lot when people sell nice, handmade stuff. Specially the little shops appeal to me because they have unique pieces, like with these handmade cushion covers from Howaboutfrankie.

Edit: Unfortunately Howaboutfrankie decided to quit selling pillows

Howaboutfrankie is the company of Mirelle. I’ve never met her in real life, but came on her site through her Instagram account. I liked her cushions immediately, she uses a lot of light colors like mint green, yellow (ocher), white, pink but also black. Ocher is a color that sneaked into our house the last few months;-). So the cushion cover came on my wish list.
Last week I finally ordered one for myself and looked around on the site of  Howaboutfrankie a little  bit more. On her site I read that Mirelle was diagnosed with breast cancer in april 2014. Her treatment was difficult and she quitted with the chemo after a while. I had to think about it a lot for a couple of days. My own armpit and breast on the left hurted a lot for some time now. Three weeks ago I went to my doctor and had a mammography and an echo in the hospital. Happily for me, everything was ok. But when I read the story of Mirelle, I realized how easily things can turn to the wrong side.
The breast cancer made Mirelle sell her old company and to start Howaboutfrankie in december 2015, she says: ” to make products that make her feel alive and were she can be proud of”. Out of her illness came something beautiful.

I bought this cushion because it fits good with the other colors in our home, but on the site are much more colors. And next to that, you can also order a custom-made cushion.

The cushions are made very well, from wool felt. On the back of the cushion, Mirelle uses vintage buttons. So go go go go, to take a good look at her website! .
