Life's Luxuries - Number 2

100% pure Linen Bed Sheet Set and Duvet cover.

I got going on this after I saw the movie with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, called Practical Magic, there was a linen blanket on one of the beds that looked wonderfully comfortable. After some browsing online and a few shopping excursions, I realized this would be a harder item to find and cost more than I had anticipated.

I ended up purchasing my duvet cover from Pottery Barn. The website was having an online special and I ended up purchasing the cover for just under $100. The sheets I totally lucked out again, but this time at Tuesday Morning. If you have not been there it is located at 2169 West 12th Street, Erie PA, which is at the corner of 12th and Pittsburgh Avenue. Tuesday Morning reminds me of T.J. Maxx but without all the clothes and shoes. This sheet set was originally $400.00 and I ended up paying, again, $100.

Garnet Hill carries the sheets online if you want to check them out.

Sweet Dreams!

Each year, I try to teach my daughter the value of quality...on at least one item.

When she received a micro-fibre quilt, her roomates fought over who could snuggle in it at night. Daughter Karli, always won and kept it, but the girls all shared in the delight at one time or another. Pure luxury.

Last year was the sheets. I looked at linen, satin, and the rest. Got the linen, satin, and Egyptian cotton. Tho it's a splurge, I would recommend Egyptian cotton sheets , maybe 400 count minimum or 800 count for joy. Wears outstanding; no sweaty nights as with satin because Egytian cotton breathes so well (lived in Florida at the time).

Information on these is available at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Lots of colors too.

If you give it away this Christmas, you will be remembered 366 nights next year, one night less in others.
