Pointed Leaf Press is delighted to announce that the third printing of Rebecca Vizard’s Once Upon a Pillow—a book as exquisitely produced as the author’s luxurious B. Viz Design pillows, with gilt-edge pages and gorgeous photography—is hot off the press, back in stock, and ready to ship.

ONCE UPON A PILLOW, by Rebecca Vizard, is a modern-day fairy tale of sorts—the inspiring story of how a young artist, living in a remote Louisiana town, with a newborn baby to care for and very little money to spare, followed her dream to start a creative cottage industry that has brought her all around the world and back home again in search of the antique fabrics whose beauty and history she treasures and preserves in luxurious one-of-a-kind pillows.

It may sound like a cushy job, but it was not always so.

“I marvel at the amount of time that was originally expended constructing so many treasured works,” writes Vizard, the founder and indefatigable creative force behind B. Viz Design. “And I am proud of the countless hours we spend bringing almost-lost textiles back to life.”

Since 1994—the year she launched her luxury-pillow business from the back of the family car (“a literal trunk show")—Vizard’s meticulously crafted creations have gone on to appear on dozens of magazine covers, in rooms designed by the country’s top designers, and, most important, in the homes of her fellow textile and history lovers, who value the centuries-old stories to be discovered in the Fortuny silks, lyrical toiles, gilded embroideries, and brilliant Suzani appliques that Vizard sources in flea markets and street fairs, old mills, and warehouses around the world.
