Fabulous post ... My fondest memori...Dear Celia... <br />Fabulous post ... My fondest memories were jumping into my Grandmothers handmade feather down comforter and clean ironed sheets and pillow cases...I remember the smell... <br /><br />Since a good nights sleep only needs one set of sheets and pillow cases ... Granny's advice was to sleep in luxury whatever the cost... and all good little girls listen ( Ha Ha) <br /><br />Counting threads and enjoying the richness of Egyptian linen and fine cottons has become a way of life . I personally touch and feel every piece of bedding that I buy ... and I try to wait for the sales.<br /><br />You can also buy fine cotton and linen materials and make your own pillow cases, then embroider them ... which is again something my Grandmother taught.<br /><br />My husband is an outdoorsman who loves to get a deal... but even he's counting threads when it comes to his sleeping attire....fussy fussy.<br /><br />Grand post Celia... You got me thinking about the one and two ply thread count...<br /> INTERESTING !!!!..ENJOY your Day , Sweet Lady....HUGS<br /><br />Zaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00200864540547799033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-44767296946389754452012-11-19T08:02:27.350-05:002012-11-19T08:02:27.350-05:00Sweet Cecelia,

AND WHITE...pure white, for it is the most calming color for me!<br /><br />HOW ARE YOU? I am so happy to see your visit yesterday! Much love and happiness to you as you celebrate Thanksgiving this year!

I always iron the pillowcases that are 100% cotton but the sheets, ahem, have some wrinkles.<br />My ironing board was a wedding shower gift and I'd like to purchase one of the wider ones because I do iron all my tablecloths. :-)<br />JudithJudith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-41883098034453469122012-11-14T17:13:28.563-05:002012-11-14T17:13:28.563-05:00

Already for decades I have used pur...Dearest Celia,<br />Already for decades I have used pure cotton bedding. That in combination with goose down comforters does make a difference in sleep comfort. When living in The Netherlands I had French bed linens from 3 Suisses and now we have French bed linens from Yves Delorme and mostly from Egyptian cotton. For a long time people did follow the 'hype' of high thread count without knowing that this could be very deceiving as you already pointed out with the 2- 3- and 4-ply threads. Again, a label stating Egyptian cotton might be misleading again. Look for those that read: 100% Egyptian cotton. Yves Delorme does have Outlets where you can by your 100% combed Egyptian cotton bed linens. The bonus of those high quality bed linens is not only a better night's rest but easy ironing. When I launder my duvet covers and fitted sheets with pillow cases, I set my Miele dryer on 'Hand Iron' and remove it prompt. I iron it in no time and spraying it with some Edith Mezard Eau de Linge Fleurs d'Oranger. My supply is getting low though... and they don't sell it anymore. Too bed as it really was heaven for getting into such a frangrant bed. The Outlet stores from Yves Delorme you find here: http://outlet.yvesdelorme.com/ for on line purchase as well as info below for visiting an Outlet Store. <br />Hugs to you,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-8027473786287340912012-11-14T13:03:52.730-05:002012-11-14T13:03:52.730-05:00I really learned from this post.

I am a huge fan of fine sheets and an even bigger fan of Egyptian cotton lovelies!<br />And I can attest to there being nothing nicer than slipping into properly ironed sheets. I actually find ironing very therapeutic (I know, I have been told I need therapy for that!-LOL!). Slowing ironing a sheet and watching the tiny wrinkles disappear into a smooth surface seems to be some kind of release. A little cuckoo yes, but it works for me!<br />xoAnastasia Schembrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211914004943479346noreply@blogger.com
