Married!

me-and-john-at-cafeJohn and I got married in Chicago on November 28, 2009. It was fantastic! The weather was sunny and in the 50’s. I could not have asked for a better day! My grandmother made it to the wedding and that was the best gift that I could have asked for. She is currently in the hospital and fighting an infection, but we are hoping for the best!

Thank you for all of your well wishes! I will continue the love story and pillow making on this blog because many of you have asked me to do so.

However, 50 percent of all money made from any pillow I sell will be donated to the Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation in the name of my brother, Americo Palladino who passed away almost five years ago because of this disease. The goal is to raise $2900 because he died at the age of 29. My hope is that some day they find a cure!

So please join me as I update the love story and create a new pillow weekly for a greater cause!

Much love,

Frances

Congratulations on your marriage. What a beautiful time of year to get married. I hope your gram gets better to share the holidays with you and your new hubby.

Welcome to 1000 Pillows

This blog was created to sell 1000 handmade pillows to raise money for my wedding. Like many brides-to-be on a budget it gets very expensive to plan even the simplest of weddings. The taxes and gratuity alone for an average wedding party is enough to scare anyone. read more »
