The Gilded Age may now be relegated to history, however the luxurious antique linens that graced the palaces and country houses of that era can still be part of your life. Beautifully embroidered lace-embellished pieces from the 19th and early 20th centuries make modern linens feel like burlap and, surprisingly, can even be found in today's commodious sizes.
Antique linens seems like a small and irrelevant category but keep in mind that this is just the general description of thousands of fabric choices made into beautiful and luxurious items such as lace, bed sheets, bed covers, duvets, hand towels, needlework, quilts, runners, table linens, tray clothes, accessories, clothing, handkerchiefs, lingerie and shawls. Items from the past but still existing in today's fast paced world.
These items are not mere relics but finely woven and lovingly produced works of art from a more relaxed and less technical time. Read More...

Kids Bedding
When parents think about kids bedding, where to purchase it is a matter of importance. While price is the main consideration for many, quality and selection are also key factors. Some children will have unique needs like fitting the right bedding to novelty beds and those purchasing bedding will need to buy a different size for a toddler car bed than for a standard twin an older child might use.

Bed Sheets Talk
A bed sheet is a large piece of cloth, most commonly used to cover a mattress. It is this sheet that one typically lies on.
In many parts of the world a second flat bed sheet is laid on top of the bottom sheet covering the mattress. This overlying sheet is known as a "top sheet." When a top sheet is used, the sheet that is covering the mattress is known as a "bottom sheet". A person usually sleeps between the two bed sheets. Blankets, comforters, and other bed covers are then placed on top of the second bed sheet. In many parts of the world, no light linen sheet is used. Depending on the location, the bed sheet can be leather, fiber or cloth. What do YOU know about bed sheets that I don't? Tell me, tell me, tell me....
