We’re also told that it comes in handy when courting that special female cuttlefish. Flash a lady some incredible colors and she won’t be able to resist that cuttlefish charm!

The Cuttlefish screen-printed decorative pillow on 100% linen by Kevin O’Brien is available in six irresistible colors:  Aquarium, Coral Sand, Indigo, Sea Glass, South Pacific, and Yellow. Each pillow has a zipper closure and a feather/down insert.

Model ships date back 4,000 years to ancient Egyptian times, but the art of creating a miniature ship inside a bottle had its beginnings around 1850.  It’s a hobby that requires considerable patience and knowledge about the historical details of the great ships that once sailed our seas.

It was here that  the dedicated mariner’s wife would perform her daily watch for vessels at sea longing for the return of her beloved husband who was away for months or even years at a time.  Would this be the day that he returns? Sadly, many of these wives became widows when the powerful arms of a turbulent sea seized the soul of many a sailor, forbidding their return home.
