A Throw Pillow is Not a Throw Pillow Cover

Browsing online for throw pillows should be easy. A stuffed shape covered in fabric is a simple product.

There are filters on search engines as well as websites to make shopping even easier.

Except when you shop for throw pillows.

Using more than one browser and visiting a few websites, throw pillows have been nearly replaced by covers. I have to read the product details to make sure the listing is for a throw pillow and not a cover. There are listings that don’t state up front the product is a throw pillow cover.  

I know that when a product is scarce, search engine results will include similar products. I don’t mind that. What bothers me is when my request is ignored when the product I chose to see is available. It is outrageous for a website filter to have throw pillows checked off, not covers, and then show mainly covers. Somebody is not paying attention. 

Have you found products pushed aside like that when shopping online?

The weather here in upper northwest New England has been beautiful this week, read under the shade of a tree perfect. So off to the library I go for a good book to read.

For two titles I’m on the waiting list. The third is a charm,  presently waiting for me to go back outside and get it out of my vehicle.  🥴 

I’m writing this post on Wednesday instead of putting it off until Friday.

Start a fun weekend on Friday!

Rambling On About Summer

Creativity can be fickle. Just as this artist reaches the exciting almost finished stage, anxiety can be overwhelming. What if I make a mistake!?   

A simple solution is to remind myself, if I did it before, then I can do it again. (I also use that reasoning to help me get to dental appoitments.) Talking through it blazes the trail forward. 

Trail!?

This summer, I feel is peaking. Next Friday, August begins the slow slide into autumn. I have yet to hike or walk anywhere. I also haven’t been to a beach yet.

Remember this?

The last half can be a 2nd summer dedicated to creativity. That includes traveling to take photos and see places to blog about. Being out and about learning and experiencing is, I feel, part of being a creative person. 

Today’s local forecast of 90°F or higher means if I am outdoors, then shade, sunscreen and hydrate. It is just after 10 AM EDT here. Time to get out into summer.
