Dry Skin? Itchy Mess! Feel like a Dog!


Do you wake up dry and itchy,feeling like a dog? Organic cotton is so soft and silky that you feel like you are sleeping in down,as there are no chemicals used the preparing of the cotton it is free of toxins that irritate your skin. Did you know that polyester loves oil and soaks it up,so if you already have dry skin and sleep in polyester sheets and night wear you may be dry and itchy when you wake up. You can try cotton/poly for your sheets, or organic cotton or Egyptian cotton grown in Egypt. Or for pure luxury try silk sheets, it is also very kind to your skin.

Misconception over Thread count.


Every time you want to buy sheets you are confronted with the old Thread count problem, What to do! Thread count is the number of threads used per square inch in the weaving of the fabric. 300 TC is pretty low, but in an organic cotton it has a softness and strength comparable to a 600 thread count in regular bedding. Authentic Egyptian cotton comes in a wide variety of thread counts starting at 250 or 300 and all the way up to 1500TC. All are great quality and soft and strong. If you want durability in your sheets over all go for the 300 or 350TC. But if want luxury above all then go for the 1200 or 1500 TC as it is silky smooth to the touch because of the fine threads used to weave the fabric. All of these thread counts can be woven into patterns or dyed to colors and does not alter the thread count.

Get to bed and Cover and up your head ! Santas coming!


Well here we are Christmas Eve and I’m not ready yet, but my bed is! Yesterday I switched our summer bed over to our winter bed, a bit late but like you I have been so busy, nothing got done. There is nothing so comforting, as crawling into organic cotton flannel sheets and pillowcases, with a big down comforter tucked into an Egyptian cotton duvet cover. This may sound easy to you but it is not, first we have to strip the bed shake out the feather bed so it doesn’t look like ocean waves. Then we wash and dry the mattress cover and put it back on over the feather bed and mattress. The flannel sheets and pillowcases are easy just pull them on the bed is made right…..wrong! Getting the comforter back into the duvet cover is a chore. I like to get the corners sitting in the proper duvet corners and then shake it into place. A down comforter does not shake easily, so I had to crawl inside the duvet and get the corners in and inch my way out all the while lining up the seams of comforter to duvet cover. That only took me 3 hours and it was on and looking fabulous. I on the other hand looked like a wreck, hair sticking up on end, red faced and sweating. My husband thought I was out running a marathon not just changing the bed…….Oh well who can understand me, not the Scotsman married to a Danish decent woman who “Just goes nuts at Christmas.”

Wishing you and yours the joys of the holiday season and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! HO! HO! HO!

Karen and the Gang!
