Bedding retailer, Linenplace.com, has an outstanding deal right now on Luxury Mohair Throws made in Australia... they are half off regular retail - so just $69 each!  And they're available in a wide assortment of colors.  I love throw blankets not only for wrapping up on the couch, but also for a chic layering piece for the bed... a great way to add a dash of color to a room too!



Mohair comes from Angora goats and is lighter and warmer than wool.  It is durable and noted for its high luster and sheen.  These make a perfect gift for the holidays!

Linenplace.com is now offering an amazing luxury towel from Switzerland, that is said to be the softest 100% cotton towel in the marketplace!  It is Coshmere by Schlossberg of Switzerland.


While pricey... a 28 x 55 inch shower towel is $82... these towels have a lot going for them! They are made with 100% Supima extra long staple cotton and manufactured under 100% natural and ecologically correct manufacturing processes and are Oeko-Tex certified. The patented high tech spinning method for the cotton yarns used in the towels makes them as soft as cashmere! Also, they're available in 16 amazing colors! White are ivory are in stock in the U.S. the other colors will take longer to ship from Switzerland.

About this time of year people are starting to think about furnishing their Summer homes/rentals.  I always like the idea of using sheets that I probably wouldn't use in my city apartment.  Pottery Barn has a couple of great options:  Nantucket Organic and Seaside Organic.

Nantucket Organic Duvet Covers and Pillow Shams ($39 - $169) - a beautiful pattern with corals and seahorses.

Seaside Organic Duvet Covers and Pillow Shams, $29 - $129 - a vintage style pattern of shells and corals.
  You can pair either of these duvet covers with Pottery Barn's Basic Organic Cotton Sheeting, ($24 - $129).

Carpedeal.com, a new discount coupon site, is offering a great deal on Echelon 800 tc Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheet Sets - a queen, king or cal king set in white - for just $49 with shipping included!

Here are some nice embroidered percale sheets from Pottery Barn featuring the Napoleonic Bee.  They come in white with either gold or blue embroidered bees.

Embroidered Bee Sheet Sets, $99 - $159.


I love the idea of paring the sheet set with a couple of these throw pillows.  I'm totally into pillows, the more the merrier.  I think 2 sleeping pillows, 2 euro pillows and a couple of throw pillows is great... I would have more if I had anywhere to put them!

Bee Pillow Covers, $34.

I've always been a fan of the quatrefoil pattern.  I love it in architecture, jewelry, picture frames, mirrors... etc.  So I was totally excited to see that Echelon has a new Quatrefoil pattern!

Echelon Home Quatrefoil, available in midnight and peacock. 

It's made with 300 thread count single ply sateen, 100% cotton and the prices are very reasonable... a full/queen duvet cover set that includes the duvet cover and a pair of standard pillow shams is only $79.  The king set with king pillow shams is only $89.

I stayed at the Westin New York Times Square on Wed. night and I was really impressed with the bed and bedding!  It was super comfy. I especially liked their down pillows.  It turns out you can buy the whole bed and bedding on their site: Westin At Home.

I love the look of bamboo... if I had a yard, I think I'd want to grow a bunch of it.  So of course I also love bamboo prints.  Here is an interesting duvet cover from Unison Home, Reed Bamboo Cotton.  It's on sale right now from $22 for a pair of standard cases to $121 for a king duvet cover.  Below is the lemongrass color.

It is a bamboo (rayon from bamboo)/ cotton blend 70/30 in 200 thread count and is made in Portugal.

It also comes in water and sand colors which are a bit more subdued than the lemongrass.

Take a look at this beautiful pattern called "Grand Dame" from Hudson Park, it features a damask design blown up into a huge scale, it's quite striking!

I'm not usually a purple/lavender person but I find this palette very soothing and tranquil.

A full/queen duvet cover is on sale now for $229.99, regular $340.  Standard shams are sold in singles, on sale for $69.99 each, regular $100.  Euro shams are $79.99 each, regular $115.

I'm a sucker for a good old fashioned percale so I was happy to see that Echelon Home has a new one.  It's a 200 thread count percale (plain weave) that comes just in classic white.  This is a sheet for a purist, no extra bells or whistles, just pure cotton in the most traditional weave.

Egyptian Percale, prices from $69 to $89 for complete sheet sets.

The sets include flat sheet, fitted sheet and pillowcases.  I'm looking forward to trying it!
