i don't know if it means anything - is cryptome a recognized resource for viable information?
i have been spending most of my time looking into the real estate records for the house where the handkerchief was found, just looking for anything concrete. this is that house, listed on sotheby's real estate rentals:

late last night this popped up while searching for the address ""55 harbor view" vineyard party":
http://archive.is/6nuMB
the ninth link down is this document:
https://cryptome.org/2016/08/guccifer-14573-democrat-contacts.xls
which i can't archive with archive.is.
i thought it was odd that the address in question would be in such a strangely formatted spreadsheet, and a quick look couldn't find anything interesting.
so i excel-ninja-searched it, and found two hits: boxes N177 (which on first blush appears blank) and N11900 (which is expanded).
they contain the same information, but N177 is shortened to hide the info which has been alt-entered down a few lines.
skipping the labor a bit - it shows that that property was listed as the 'alternate residence' of melissa moss and jonathan silver. moss was implicated in the clinton $50k-donation-in-exchange-for-seats-on-trade-missions almost-scandal, which ended when Ron Brown died in a plane crash on one of those missions.

this is the wiki article - moss isn't mentioned much (edit - took out 'at all'), but she was a central part of the lawsuit, which fizzled out after Brown died.
I just find that connection odd, and it doesn't really lead anywhere. the list is from 2016, allegedly, but i show another owner of the house based on other more public records, one Linda Comstock:

Good original work. That crytome link is archived twice on way back machine http://web.archive.org/web/*/https://cryptome.org/2016/08/guccifer-14573-democrat-contacts.xls I dont know whether the info is there as well, not being techy. I had assumed the field hosue was a separate little summehouse thing, but good work it might well be as you surmise. I wondered about the pillow they bought as it said in the email, whether pillow is pillow or is code.

i'm sure that pillow is pillow - i've stayed in vacation homes like that before - everything is for sale if you ask about it...and the realtor currently has an interior design business.
if we assume she's not hip to the goings-on, then the request about pillows is not alarming. without any other real mention of pillows in the collection of emails, it seems innocent.

Yes just reread that email, i had not worked on it for some time. yes it was sandler who was using the code not kate, so pillow probably is innocent. Have you checked out the kitchen island as a matter of interest, where the handkerchief was found?
