Heaven.

What I think Heaven should look like!

A soft bed, tons of books and a sweet

landscape outside my window. Oh, but

wait. This is what I have now for real!

Summer Linens.

Our love our bed! It's so cozy, so comfy.

And in the winter, full of lines for warmth.

In the summer, we keep it light and airy.

I changed out the winter bedding yesterday.

This summer's theme is white with either the

lavender linens or the pale green, depending on

the week. Nice and bright but still cozy and

comfy. Last night was hot but we were so cool.

Do you have different linens for different seasons?

What is your favorite style and color of linens?

New Linens.

We've now lived in our new house for a grand total of eight wonderful months. One of our promises to ourselves was to invest in a new set (or two) of good quality sheet set(s) for our bedroom. We even donated our old set as well as some extra pieces we rarely used, and an old quilt and some blankets. We knew if we kept what we had, we'd never get around to shopping. Old old linen closet was so tiny, but thankfully this one is a walk in and in our eyes, massive! Lots of room to store new linens. Over time, as we've been out and about shopping, we've scoured the aisles for just the right set (or two) with no luck. Not the right shade, not the right pattern and often, not the right price! Frugality is still key, despite a bigger house. How we got here isn't going to change our spending habits, so remaining thrifty is still the name of the game. 

Last week, I had an hour to use up between meeting a family for counselling and meeting an organization for a fundraiser they'll be doing for us. So off to HomeSense I went. And look what I found!!

At first, I decided to buy both so that we could choose one and take the other one back. I mean, really, who buys two sets of sheets? But we ended up not being able to choose just one as both are exactly the right colors. And then my daughter reminded me how much of a hassle it is to wash sheets and not be able to make the bed right away. "Keep both mom" she suggested. And after realizing that we were already saving because the cost of both of these add up to the cost of just one set at most stores in our region, it was a done deal! So now we have two and "sheet change day" will be much lovelier around here!

Do you collect linens for your home?

Do you have more than one set of sheets for your bed?
