Good Saturday morning my friends!!!...I hope everyone has a great weekend of activities or rest time planned!!...I deserve some rest time...

I just finished up painting 95 boxes yesterday..Yes, 95!!....I will share all of them in another post, but for this one I wanted to share my new bedding...After showing it in a previous post, I have since switched the blue coverlet to Luke's antique iron bed and put the black one in here to go with my new woven blanket that Tim got me for our 22nd anniversary...

I have been busy searching for some pillow cases for both beds and let me tell you, it WAS NOT easy....These things are hard to find...I THINK I read on one website that they are being discontinued....So I did manage to find a set of pillow cases at 2 different places....For our bed and Luke's....

So I decided to have some fun and took pics of the coverlet one way or another and reversed it for some pics....With accent pillows and without....I pulled those off the couch in the living room, so I guess I'm going to be making me some for the bed...

Ok..before I start getting all the emails wanting to know where I got them..Here goes....The patterned coverlet is discontinued....Tim bought it last year for our anniversary.....I bought Luke one in October because I saw that they were discontinuing them in 2009....But you might google and find one...

The striped blanket I just got for this anniversary, and I got it from the American Heritage website....I got it in a king size for my queen size bed, since our new mattresses (in a previous post) were too high to allow my previous coverlet to cover everything.....And alot of the coverlets aren't offered in king sizes...

The pillow cases I also found at 2 places.... American Heritage, but are limited and only in certain styles and sizes....They do offer other styles though....And the other set were gotten at Fine Country Living, but they were the last set she had available...I think that is where I read that they were being discontinued..So it was an irritating challenge to find them...

And let me tell you..I LOVE these blankets and coverlets!!!..They wash up so well...And especially with a 3 year old that likes to eat on my bed and watch cartoons...They are wonderful!!..I can't tell you how many times I wash them each week....They're so comfortable, and Luke especially loves to snuggle under them to sleep...In fact, about 10 minutes after I finished taking pics of the bed and came in here to put pics on the computer, I went to check on him, and he had crawled under the blankets and went to sleep...

I want to sincerely THANK YOU for your heartfelt words in my previous post!!..You will never know how much each comment meant to me...It was sooooo hard and emotional to write and I pondered over and over about even sharing it because alot of people have the feelings that "oh, you should be over that by now..That was  10, or 20, or 29 years ago".... Well, my question is how do you forget?...Do you just stop loving someone when they're gone?....Why would you want to?... Would you want to be forgotten?....

I guess I compare it to the movie Titanic....Rose loved Jack, but he was gone...She went on, loved and married, had children, and lived her life, but she never forgot....


Thank you for allowing me to share him with you!!


Until next time, my friends!!~~hugs, Jen
