If We Could Hug Like the Animals
By Christa TerryIt’s hard to resist hugging Ross Menuez’s Fauna Animal Pico Pillow, which are made from organic cotton. I mean especially now with the baby in the house, as these have no ribbons or button eyes or any of the other embellishments that wee ones are apt to swallow when you’ve got your back turned.
Aren’t they just the sweetest? What else can I say — they’re printed by hand and stuffed with hypoallergenic fill that won’t irritate noses or skin. Plus, they’re made in Brooklyn, NY, my very own post-university hometown.
I like the rabbit, the terrier, the gorilla… and the rest of them. So what if I’m a sucker for animals and pillows and plushies? Call me a girl, if you must. Or maybe a mom. On that note, you should check out the Fauna onesies and baby tees!

Those pillows were love at first sight for me, but our love is ill-fated. Their cost means we can never be together.
I did MAKE something like this for a friend once, using a photo of her dog. Super easy — you just print the picture onto photo canvas (the kind that runs through a color printer), cut it out, sew on backing fabric, and stuff!

Photo canvas, Two Wishes? I was unaware that such a thing existed. Woo! Personalized animal pillows here I come!
