Three Sheets to the Wind

I love bedding. I look at bedding all the time, and always want to get new stuff for my bed and the guest bed. I have torn so many pages out of the Pottery Barn catalog with pictures of different bedrooms, to keep in my little notebook in case I ever have a gigantic home and an unlimited budget for decorating.

Anyway, I have decided it's time for me to invest in a new set of sheets. I like the sheets that I have fine, but I don't like my second set, and I'm tired of washing these and putting them right back on all the time. I need a rotation. I doubt that this is important to anyone else who lives in my house, but I feel the time is right.

However, as you probably know, sheets ain't cheap. And, the bigger the bed, the higher the price. We have a king-size bed, which is nice, as we are not tiny people (as I may have mentioned), and it gives us plenty of room. However, this means that good quality sheets are pretty pricey.

But, a wonderful thing happened to me yesterday. I was thinking about my new sheets, and wondering where I could get them for less, and I remembered that last year I bought this Lenox Christmas china for an amazingly low price at Smart Bargains. I mean, seriously, I bought 6 dinner plates and 6 salad plates for very little. (BTW, I really love china, which I may need to devote an entire post to sometime soon. That'll show my husband who's boring and who's not).

Anyway, I went on over to Smart Bargains, and found tons of high thread count sheets for really great prices. These bargains are so smart that I am thinking I need two sets of sheets! How economical and practical that would be! What I really want is some monogrammed sheets, so I'll probably be selecting a set that can be easily monogrammed by my monogramming friend.

For now, I think it's high time I made a decision on these sheets. I can hear my current sheets tumbling around in the dryer, which means soon I have to put them back on the bed. I am eagerly awaiting the days when they can sit and wait in the basket like the rest of the laundry. Now if I only had a linen closet that looked like Martha Stewart's, I'd be in business.
