I got it as a throw for my guest room but it's so nice that it's usually in the front room being used by my boyfriend while watching TV. It's plenty long so if you are sitting in a recliner you can tuck it under your feet and still pull it all the way up to your neck even if you're 6 feet tall. It's not the warmest blanket in the world so if you run hot this will be great for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09689904346344960814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-62247437118902862742013-06-07T15:51:48.982-06:002013-06-07T15:51:48.982-06:00Dear Anon.,

You really should write a book about all the good things your mom taught you through the years. Wonderful, good stuff. <br /><br />We really don't travel much, but it is interesting to see how things are changing in bedding in hotels.<br /><br />Gumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-51200785884774000042013-06-06T12:46:08.284-06:002013-06-06T12:46:08.284-06:00I'll soon be 74 - my mother passed away the en...I'll soon be 74 - my mother passed away the end of January at the age of 97 - and it's been on my mind to write a book about the things I've learned from her. I was reminded of it the other day during spring cleaning. It was time to turn the mattress (her way, end for end, and side for side - regularly once a season!) I stripped my bed in this order from top down: A pretty percale sheet because a cat lives here and loves me up at night before going to his place by the window, an old pink chenille bedspread I've been using as a light weight blanket since the winter blankets came off, the top sheet, bottom sheet, a "draw" sheet (Mom's term for a folded sheet placed longways across the mattress where your body lies), a fitted sheet protecting the mattress pad, a nice thick mattress pad she bought me years ago, so big and thick it can only be done in the large machine at the laundromat, and last - I even surprised myself - by pulling off another fitted sheet which revealed at last the mattress!!! This time I didn't vacuum the mattress as all that other stuff got laundered, but Mom would have, and would have a fit if she knew I didn't. The box spring has a pretty fitted sheet protecting it, too, and makes a nicer appearance. Now you can see this already made a chapter in my book! <br /><br />The point of it is this: Mom knew what it was like during the Depression to have at times only one dress which she washed herself and dried by the stove for school the next day. She worked hard all her life, never wasting a thing, especially hard-earned money. Covering her mattresses and caring for the bedding so well was merely protecting an investment. I was born in the bed she purchased new in 1939, and 17 months later my brother was also born on it - so protected that there wasn't a mark on the mattress. There were two more children born in the hospital. We were never allowed to play on the beds, and had to be bathed before crawling into them. The blankets and pillows were regularly aired outside on the lines, too. God bless my dear Mom! And since bedding is so very expensive these days, Mom's way is a good way.<br /><br />I love, love, love your blog - and truly admire the things you do. I don't travel, but it's good to know that some places are being more careful about the beds!

Recently, the Man went out and bought expensive, high thread-count sheets at Kohls. It was a splurge, but we've had the same sheets for years, and these new ones are such a pleasure! <br /><br />We keep our bedroom very simple. Bed as described as above, black bedside tables, a black chest of drawers and a black dresser from Ikea. The Man has allergies, so we don't keep bookshelves in our bedroom, and we don't have a rug--just hardwood floors. It's simple and serene. Very nice!<br /><br />xofrancesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-85656623614754398102013-05-31T08:59:47.240-06:002013-05-31T08:59:47.240-06:00My bedroom is in desperate need of a makeover.

Like you, I am always on the lookout for the good old fashioned sheets that you are talking about. Sometimes I find them at thrift stores. In fact, the ones I pulled out of my stash are old and have that wonderful, smooth cotton feel that I have not seen yet in new sheets.<br /><br />I wonder how a person re-conditions used sheets?Gumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-67005345097138771892013-05-30T21:09:44.480-06:002013-05-30T21:09:44.480-06:00Please rethink tossing out sheets.

Most new sheets wrinkle horribly, have an irritating feel and fray after a year of washing. Newer manufactured hand towels actually don't clean. <br /><br />On the other hand, I still have 25 year old fabulous sheets made in America that are still holding-up.<br /><br />I recall that someone has a thriving business re-conditioning used American-made sheets because newer sheets are terrible. <br /><br />When I go to yard sales-I search for unopened packages of American-made sheets.Pat Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021033553258512271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-42405551625610791012013-05-30T19:25:12.649-06:002013-05-30T19:25:12.649-06:00I am liking this idea!!!I am liking this idea!!!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08665026066153770083noreply@blogger.com
