Mario-Like Needlepoint Animal Pillows

The recent Mario Buatta auction has done wonders for needlepoint, but it's not like it really needed a lift. These babies sold for a staggering $17,500.  So if anyone ever complains again about the cost of needlepoint......


The good news is that you don't have to spend five figures for your needlepoint animal pillows. While this one wasn't owned by the famous late decorator, it's remarkably well-priced given the recent price inflation in vintage needlepoint animal pillows....

Or you can stitch your own needlepoint rabbit just like the one Mario owned. No one has to know the provenance.....

Maybe elegant decorating is making a comeback thanks to Mario.
