Gifts for Your Favorite Francophile

How cute is this pillow? Before you look at the price, keep in mind it's entirely hand embroidered. The light cotton cover buttons off for cleaning and it's accented with black velvet piping.  Other countries--America, Ireland, Italy--and all sorts of popular U.S. vacation destinations are available in the series too. Check them out on the Whispering Pines website hereWhat's that you say? $149 for a pillow is trop cher? Then try Uncommon Goods, where silk-screened cotton dishtowels, based on the same map-of-France theme, are just $20 each. And GlassesandPillows.com has 15-ounce dishwasher-safe drinking glasses with a similar pattern for $13 each.
