Tampa interior designer Karen Post is marking America’s 250th birthday by crafting ‘prosperity pillows’. Post, a self-described patriot, felt the U.S. was missing a ‘prosperity pillow’, which is a special pillow believed to attract health and good fortune.
America 250 Birthday Project
Post’s company, Home Frosting, has officially licensed the project through ‘America 250.’ The team is working to produce 250,000 pillows, ensuring that every component is 100% American-made. The pillows are designed to be ‘vessels for messages’ passed down through generations and are stuffed with retired shredded money from the U.S. Mint.
A portion of the proceeds from every pillow sold is donated to Tunnel to Towers, an organization that supports veterans and first responders. Post views these pillows as long-term investments in history, hoping they will become family heirlooms that survive for another 250 years.
