And ironing. . yes, I'm one of the weirdo's who love to iron. From the time that I was old enough to start with my Dad's hankies and pillowcases, I was hooked. Before long, my Mom turned all of the ironing over to me. I set up the ironing board, and watched old Betty Davis and Joan Crawford movies on TV, on rainy Saturday afternoons. Savoring the fragrances of fresh rain, mingled with the sun dried fabrics. .aaaaahhhhhh. I still do! It is kind of a Zen thing with me, I guess. Creating calm and order out of chaos. If all of the world's problems could be solved so easily.<br /><br />I LOVE your linens. .the gorgeous embroideries, the textures. .all SO beautiful! People who don't buy a high thread count, never, ever know that they are missing. It truly does make a difference! I did make the mistake one time, of splurging big time to buy a set of 1200 count Egyptian cotton. .they were wrinkled beyond belief! And nearly impossible to iron out. Needless to say, I don't use that set much in my rotation.<br /><br />Fifteen years ago, my older daughter suffered a stroke as the result of meningitis, and although she was paralyzed on one whole side of her body, her nerves became super sensitive, and once she got back home from rehab, she couldn't get a good night's sleep. I bought her a set of 600 count Egyptian cotton, and she couldn't believe the difference. They felt SO good on her skin. Silky soft, and no pilling. And even now, she won't buy any sheets with a lower count.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your gorgeous room, and luscious bed! It relaxes me, just looking at it!Suziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04050428036946794512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991743430794325756.post-85192667861718477932011-03-23T11:20:53.082-07:002011-03-23T11:20:53.082-07:00Oh girl, if it needs ironed or dry cleaned it neve...Oh girl, if it needs ironed or dry cleaned it never gets past my doorway.

I do have 400 count cotton sheets, though, because it's the best I can afford and they are really nice to sleep on. I don't iron, or fold. I wash, dry and put back on the bed immediately. Well, as fast as I can with a small dog in the way. Take dog off bed, put bottom sheet on. Take dog off bed, put top sheet on. Take dog off bed... you see how it goes.Carynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991743430794325756.post-29191887165238351012011-03-22T14:41:51.302-07:002011-03-22T14:41:51.302-07:00what a beautiful bedroom...just lovley...love the ...what a beautiful bedroom...just lovley...love the comforter and the pillows and the linens...<br /><br />i just LOVE a comfortable and cozy bed....i was ironing some shams the other day...and was wondering if i was the only one doing it...now i know i am not alone...<br /><br />where does Teddy sleep ?My Farmhouse Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00594238190107766755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991743430794325756.post-43054827798914629422011-03-22T14:12:47.495-07:002011-03-22T14:12:47.495-07:00Love those mirrors.
