You should sit down sometime and read your old posts and travel the journey we all have the pleasure of reading. You have no idea how your words are so wonderful. Your posts are like reading a great book and wanting more.<br /><br />I love the Vermont Country Store. And I can't tell you how many times my husband or I have purchased lovely sheets only to toss and turn. Thread count fooey, it's all about soft to me.<br /><br />I love how comfy your bed looks, and lavender should make for a good night's sleep.<br /><br />Have a lovely evening.<br /><br />KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487481759201796912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-68822447183312549702011-08-07T07:12:00.723-04:002011-08-07T07:12:00.723-04:00The patchwork behind the bed, Cait, was a gift fro...The patchwork behind the bed, Cait, was a gift from my mother.

The ones I have are all about 20-25 years old and percale. They do get tiresome after a while! Thank you so much for the information.

When I try to buy something new, they are stiff and yucky. Fresh sheets on the bed are always a good feeling. I'm sure a nice lavender sachet in the dryer would be a nice touch too.

Not so! The best kept secret is linen sheets. They cost an eye crossing fortune but endure so well that such sheets get passed down for generations and just keep getting better.
