Why do Mountain Climbers wear Silk Underwear ?




The Mountain climbers that I have met tell me that silk is very warm and protects them better than a lot of other winter underwear. Also it is light and soft to the touch. Well you must try our Silk bedding and you will find that it is really warm in the winter and not the least bit clammy. In the summer it is cool and fresh to sleep in.
If you need to buy silk sheets and pillow cases or a silk comforter filled with silk, this is luxury you won't want to miss.

Luxury bedding in silks, cottons, and linens.


While on the subject of Gramma's Coverlette, I would like to add that after 100 plus years you must think the thing is just filthy. Not so Gramma put that sucker in the big galvanized tub and put it on the stove and boiled the heck out of it, then squeezed it out by twisting it, then hung it on the line for 5 days to dry.
Aren't we lucky today to have that wonderful washer dryer combo, we would have Gramma's coverlette washed and dryed in about an hour, and very sanitized I might add, no leaves or twigs stuck in it, and not to mention no risk of bird poo!!!
ps. See what happens when Gramma leaves her wash tub outside to cool - Really big problem........

Gramma's Comforter



Comforters are soft, warm and comforting. That's why they are called "Comforters".
We loved Gramma's comforter, it had pieces of cloth of every color sewn on here and there covering worn spots, all sewn with tiny little stitches done by hand. Many of the pieces were washed out flour sacks, hunks of old blankets, or a piece of a sleeve from someones shirt. Our Gramma Elizabeth, travelled from England to Halifax by ship and overland from Halifax in a covered wagon to get to Saskatchewan and set up house in that wilderness. It spoke volumes about her survival skills and just how hard life was raising 4 kids in a little wood and mud house with a dirt floor.
The comforter was made with much love to keep her children warm and cosy on those long 40 below nights on the prairie.
That little coverlette is about 105 years old now and it is the absolute epitemy of the word "Comforter".

Cold wash Hot - What to do!



Do you remember your mother or Grandmother washing with hot water and everything came out so nice and white? Now we are told we must wash in cold water to save energy.
Well we saved our energy and now we have dust mites rejoicing and hopping all over our beds. They love those refreshing cold water swims they have been having. Try washing your bedding weekly in Hot Water, yes Hot Water! Hot Water kills Dust Mites.
After 2 or 3 weeks buy dust mite covers for mattress and pillows, then you will feel free of mites but continue to wash bedding in hot water always. You can check out mite barrier covers at www.sheerheavenluxurybedding.com/mitebarriercovers they have them with zippers that mites can't get through.

Did you catch the Olympic Fever!



Olympic fever has caught everyone in Canada and around the world by storm. The city was alive with happy and excited people wearing reds of every description, including me. Time to get out the red bedding and dress up your room for spring to keep the spirit alive. A lively Red silk sheet would make a really beautiful cape, a very pretty tablecloth, curtains to dress up a room, or try a red Duvet cover to Jazz up your bed or the kids beds. We watched all the games on TV while wearing our Canada Toques and scarves, it was fun..... Whatever makes you happy! Just Believe!
