A Dreamy look from Pottery Barn
September 25, 2009

If you'd like to sleep in a big cloud, here's the perfect quilt from Pottery Barn: Cloud Quilt ($249 for full/queen).  The quilt is ruched cotton sateen and backed with silk habotai. The fill is polyester fiber batting.

Owl Sheets from Garnet Hill
September 18, 2009

I love owls!  So it was a nice surprise to see that Garnet Hill is doing owl print sheets, Night Owl Sateen, open stock prices from $32 to $98.

They're done in 330 thread count, 100% cotton.  It's nice that they're not flannel... it seems that most companies do their novelty prints in flannel.  I'm not a flannel fan because it doesn't wear well, it's so soft at first but it gets bunched up and pilled pretty quickly.

This is such a cute design, I wish that they had left off the hats etc. which makes these sheets more of a seasonal item, and not for year-round use.  I mean, really, you can't have your owls wearing hats in the summer!

I always love fun prints like this but I would never put them on my own bed, I like to keep that pretty classic looking... but I think these are great for a guest bed or kid's bedroom.

Towels are just 20% off.  The Etoile, cotton/modal blend, and the Olympe (cotton) are both included. I like Delorme's towels because they are not as huge as most brands.  The bath towel is just 24 x 49 inches, whereas the standard bath towel is 27 x 54".  I actually like the smaller size since I am not a large person.  I love the Olympe towels, washed with Downy they come out very nice and soft...

I'm not a big fan of Macy's, I'm more of a Bloomingdale's girl... but taking a look at the offerings from Macy's Hotel Collection, I would say that they are certainly rivaling Bloomingdale's Hudson Park Collection.  Frankly I'm surprised, pleasantly surprised that is.

Take a look at these fabulous designs:
