Moroccan-Made Decor Makes For a Unique Antique

Ramona's Swash Blossom Trading Co. has plenty of worldly textiles to choose from.

Antiques aren't always trinkets and old treasures—they're decorative and useful, too!

Take these throw pillows, for example. While calling them antiques may seem unusual, their worn fabric and faded color suggest they've seen a few decades.

Shop owner Vicky Townsend told Patch the pillows come from Morocco, are hand-made and are embroidered with mirrors.
