This pillow has been stored in a smoke and pet free home.   Get this today for a real bargain. The price listed here really can't be beat. The materials for this project including pattern, embroidery floss and fabric, etc. cost me approximately $35.  If you calculate my hours at the current minimum wage of $5.75 the labor for this pillow alone is worth $575.00 I'm also listing several other items on ebay, so check out my other auctions.  Use the shipping calculator below to calculate shipping via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation. This costs ME a minimum of $4.75 per shipment (not including insurance or other fees if applicable).  I ship this way because I can track the delivery of the item(s) and due to the paypal buyer protections, I must be able to provide proof of delivery to protect myself from dishonest buyers who occasionally try to make false claims. Although I am now a power seller, ebay is mostly a hobby for me, and due to long hours at my full-time job and long commute I ship items on Wednesdays and Fridays only. I can make exceptions to this if you need your item in a hurry,  just contact me using the "ask seller a question" link and we can work something out. I do not ship internationally, only to paypal verified United States addresses.  If you are an international buyer who can provide a verified United States  address for shipping purposes, I will add you to my pre-approved bidders list. Just email me.  Rules: Bidding:  Your bid is a contract.  Please do not bid on my auction if you do not intend to pay.  I report non-paying bidders to E-bay.  I no longer accept any payment form except for paypal, due to having problems with people not paying, paying slowly- like a month to 6 weeks after the auction closes, as well as complaints about shipping costs.  Return policy-  I do not accept returns, I sell new or nearly new, authentic, unused items in mint condition and represent them very truthfully.  I sell these items for far less than most ebay sellers, and in most cases less than half the retail cost if purchased through a traditional store or website, I have a very small margin on these items, and bearing additional costs of refunds causes me a financial loss as I cannot recoup ebay listing or final sale price fees, and only a portion of paypal fees.  Payment:  I accept Paypal only.  No cash, money orders or checks, no exceptions. I am an honest ebay seller that through slow but steady growth in my sales over the years and many, many repeat customers has elevated me after 8 years on ebay to Power Seller status on ebay as of earlier this year.  I am very proud of this designation.  If you review my feedback you will see that it is overwhelmingly positive.  Ebay recently changed the way feedback is calculated and nearly all sellers scores have dropped due to the new way this rating is calculated.  In reviewing my feedback, please keep in mind that there are some folks who are just never happy, make ridiculous claims, don't properly read listings, or are just out to rip someone off.  That said, it is my goal for you to be happy so that you continue to purchase from me. If there is a problem, please communicate with me and together we will work through the issue. Thanks for looking and have fun shopping.       Place a Bid!
