This photo I've kept over the years to remind me of a treasured moment from my childhood.

One very cold December afternoon many years ago, my Mother and I set out in deep snow to the Marshall Fields Department Store in Chicago.

It was my very first visit to Santa, a long awaited and much anticipated event in my young life.

I remember the kindly old gentleman in the red suit, as plump and round as a sun ripen tomato with eyes that sparkled and shined who looked at me as I sat on his knee as if I was the most important person in the whole world and asked me in his warm and kindly manner what I wanted and wished for Christmas.

At that moment all I felt was a child's sheer delight and this promoted me naturally to give one of my best smiles and one of my fondest moments from my childhood was forever recorded in this photo.

For my mother’s 92nd birthday I gave her this keepsake pillow and when she opened the package a look of joy and happiness spread across her face. I watched as she hugged the pillow close to her. At that moment could not help but feel she was also embracing a lifetime of precious memories between mother and son.

I received this beautiful and one of a kind photo pillow as a special gift made especially for us, which showcase's our favorite photo our wedding.

I live with my pillow everyday it sits proudly on my living room sofa. Everyone that stops by can't resist but to pick it up not only because of the lush and the inviting feel of the rich velvet and the eye catching dangling beads that adorn the pillow but because no one has ever seen anything like it and makes a great conversation piece.

Every time I walk by I can't help but smile to myself as my heart is reminded of my most special day.

After spending a considerable amount of time, energy and money on the interior of my home, I needed a bed for my dog that would accent my decor, not deter from it.

I am very pleased with my new aromatherapy pet bed, it not only adds to the beauty of my home but our much loved golden retriever Scout makes it his favorite place to lay down and rest, I think he likes it so much because it feels similar to the softness and comfort of our sofa. (Which he knows is a "No, No" for doggies).

Once a week or so I unzip the outer cushion and spray the inner pillow with the complementary aromatherapy spritzer that came with my purchase. (nice perk)

Scout is not the only one that reaps the benefits of the spray. It also scents and refreshes our home with an all natural scent, that the whole family enjoys.

My husband and I wanted a truly unique commemorative of our granddaughter’s christening ceremony. When I called Il Cuscino and spoke to Lisa about a photo memory pillow, she walked us through our options and the personal, but simple, ordering process. To our delight, we soon received an e-mail confirmation that our order was completed and shipped ahead of schedule. I have never been so impressed as with the level of customer service and quality of products offered by Il Cuscino. Thank you for your patience and help, Lisa.
