One of my best friends is from Heidelberg, Germany and I loved the pillows on her guest bed. A friend in Mississippi said she would share an antique feather bed her grandmother made with me, and I took advantage of it. The geese were southern domestic geese. :) The pillows are 26" square and quite plump. Thanks for the kind words. Sure wish I had tidied up a bit before I snapped the picture though. Ha.
