The Chronic Consumer

I’ve written a few times before about how I like to shop at the St. Jude Gift Store. Not only do I get wonderful products, but a portion of the money I spend goes to support a very worthy cause. As you might know, St. Jude doesn’t turn away any patients based on their (in)ability to pay for treatment, and they consequently need a lot of money to keep going. I’m just glad to help in some tiny, tiny way.

As I was browsing through the gift shop yesterday, I saw these really cute decorative pillows on sale. They are handcrafted and the silkscreen designs are from patient artwork. They feature removable slipcovers that can be washed, and have different designs on the back.

The regular price for these pillows is $24 each, but they’re on sale for $15 right now. These would look wonderful on the couch, and will definitely start a few conversations or at least elicit some compliments.

I want the Hope and Believe pillows!
