The Kitchen Table

I saw a $1,300.00 pillow yesterday!

7 years ago

In Canadian dollars. But it was on sale for $794.00. It was at a Zellers store (which is where the Hudson Bay department store sells products that have sat for awhile). It caught my attention and I had to pet it and then checked out the price. Wow. I wouldn't even pay $40.00 for a nice decorative pillow. I did guess right when I thought it was coyote fur upon touching it. I'm not into fur though. Here is a picture of it.

Did you see the coyote fur throw for $3,600? It says it comes from ethically sourced Canadian coyote fur. What the heck does that mean? Yuck! Kind of creeps me out.

There are fabrics that cost that much and more per yard. I can't imagine anyone paying it even if they had money to burn. It will also cost a fortune to have anyone willing to risk working with it.

Oh gee, Threed! Yeah, you did explicitly state that in your op! Guess I was just so in awe of the beautiful pic, & I didn't see any clear beads (they all looked like pearls to me!) How nice that you created new to mix with the old so well! Good luck with your insurance matter. Is COBRA an option? I think that part of Obama's health care reform includes extending COBRA coverage to those on unemployment for an extended period (I think it used to be 8 months under the former plan, & it's over a year now.) I know you're doing all your homework & checking out all the options. You're a very resourceful lady & you always figure out how to address whatever challenges present themselves! I & so many others here will be praying about this for you. Thanks for the update & best wishes!

Tib, Natura should give you a freebie for sure. I am so grateful that you recommended it. Between my linen sheets, my Tempur mattress and my new pillow I sleep like a baby. I dread the thought of having to sleep anywhere but here. Cyn, so glad you ordered the Natura pillows. They are the most comfortable ever. After I bought mine I bought one for DH but he likes to smash and wad his pillow into a ball so I kept his. Using two of the pillows to read in bed is heaven. I hear you about the Kinzig lamp. I love mine and it looks great with the chairs but it isn't particularly good to read by as both bulbs are 60 watt max. MsRose, that pillow gets excellent reviews,but wow, 24 bucks for shipping? I think you would be extremely pleased with it but I think a Natura would be as good. Olliesmom, you got the deal of the century! I am going to go to the site and see what's up with it, maybe I will get a deal too.

This is just one pillow, ladies. The fabric sample was small and I had to piece together the King Charles to make the back. I didn't want to waste it, but for the back, didn't mind too much that I had to seam it across his chest area. Cooperbaily, I just found the tag attached to the sample, and it's by Duralee, and the pattern/color is 41521-106. The description just says 'Carmel - Novelty - Duraguard'. Marisany, I just cut fabric, pieced it and sewed it. VERY easy. I'm just lucky that I found the piece of fabric and had the trim which is perfect with it!

UPDATE I just received this Fornasetti pillow from Etsy -- it's an outdoor pillow and I intended for use on our deck. However, I kind of like it in my office. What do you think? Perhaps it can live here during the off season.

Hmmmm... I'm having a conundrum. I don't understand the reasoning of why that store would think it was a good idea to sell that pillow.

And it was weird it was in a discount store....for everyone to touch, drop on the floor, etc. It is still on the shelf just shy of $800.00.

Oh.....you still have Zellers? I thought they all closed up.

It isn't a real Zellers. It is a catch all for Hudson's Bay and maybe Home Outfitters. The outside sign says Zellers.

Last year I saw an orange couch at The Bay for $2000.00 and loved it. Three months ago it was at the Zellers store marked down to $420.00. I kick myself for not buying it then. I will go regularly now to see if I come across another. I won't but will still look as everything they have is crazy reduced - even the $1300 pillow. I think there are two Zellers left in Canada.

Poor coyote.

Well I wouldn't be too quick to say poor coyote. They are nuisances here in Newfoundland and there is a bounty out on them. They are not natural to this area and they need to be killed in order for our own wildlife to survive.

When I saw the original price, before the explanations, I wondered how much rental they'd want to try it out for ten minutes.

They're a nuisance here too, Casey, and I don't think this is their natural habitat either. When we moved here 30+ years ago they were a rarity. But no longer. I worry about their effect on the pet population. However, I still don't like the idea of an animal being skinned so some person can lounge on their fur.

Zeller closed down years ago. All of them.

We need our local coyotes and bobcats to keep the rats, rabbits and ground squirrels in check. They have not been doing a very good job this summer.

"Zeller closed down years ago. All of them."

They reopened one here in Ottawa in 2014 as a store liquidator to HBC and HomeOutfitters. Seriously, there are some great deals and they should open more across Canada for all the vacant Target stores there are. If only a few even.

OJ, I stole my time with the pillow while at the store. I was in awe of it but weirdly, not interested in it.

That price is right up there with things made with mosquito hides. (Do you know how many mosquitoes it takes to make anything.) Just Kidding... .

It's not difficult to make a coyote pillow. find a pillow, and find a coyote pelt, and make a coyote fur pillow cover. I saw coyote pelt for sale around $45-75 each.
