. . . those pillows in the picture with the chief upside down?

my mother's answer for all personal inquiries lead to one answer
"do you have enough pillows?"

when the couches came from ikea
i was disappointed
that the colors didn't match
the colors in my mind.

i called my mother in desperation
who came over promptly.
with a car full of pillows to try.

we settled on these turquoise ones
with gigantic blue-and- gold flowers
which she found for a steal
while diving through the pillow bin
at big lots.

which is a good tip, at least:
if you are looking for interesting pillows
sometimes big lots is a solid place to start.
