Nesting

[qos]

Today I bought a gorgeous bedframe that beautifully matches my bedside table and dresser. Unfortunately, it doesn't come in "full" size, so I also bought a Queen-size mattress set -- but oh, it's heavenly!

New mattress size means new sheets.

Have you ever tried to buy flannel sheets in July? They are almost as scarce as pine-scented candles. (I found two sheet sets I could live with, but no pine-scented candles.)

I also bought kitchen accessories: drawer inserts for silverware, canisters for pasta, a small garbage can that fits under the sink, and etc. -- and shower curtain liners for my daughter and I so we can actually take showers. I didn't find a design I liked for the main curtain, however.

I'm still typing on the gadget, but should be connected to the internet again by Tuesday afternoon.

Sounds like a delicious new home! Let us know about the shower curtains when you get them. There's nothing like a good shower curtain.

Costco has tons of flannel sheets if you have the membership. They are good sheets and fairly cheap. Another place you might want to try is Tuesday mornings they usually have them at a good price. I bought some Egyptian Cotton 450 count for like 30 bucks. They often run good sales and if you can catch those you can really clean up.

You may be able to find flannel and/or high-thread-count sheets (which are silky and cool in the summer) at overstock shops, or online at places like overstock.com. pathdancer has found sheets in both fabrics online at overstock prices.

Great idea!
Thank you!

Just be aware of something regarding queen sized beds: If you ever move into an older home, such as a victorian or craftsman style home, be aware that sometimes those beds will not fit the stairwells to the upstairs bedrooms. They usually work with newer homes and apartments, though.
