You can never have enough...

I gave up duvets a few years ago now, when I bought a rather lovely bedspread on TM from Morgan and Finch. Pure cotton, embossed design in pale blue. Perfect for summer with just a sheet, and transitions to winter if I layer on my beautiful beloved Amish quilts. So I waited and eventually scored a second bedspread in pale green, so I can swap them around. But the winter layers do make for a heavier weight, so I get the pleasure and comfort of sleeping under the heavier weights when it is cool out there. But lots of people prefer the lightweight of puffies, I am used to those layers now, especially the quilts and they each come with some lovely memories of the fabulous ladies who made them and sold them to this strange kiwi woman who was so curious about the Amish way of life. So I sleep with my adventures wrapping me, and that is a special joy.

And tg4 Trademe, I still haunt the Morgan and Finch listings, lol...

I haven't done duvets for many years. Just kept the covers to cover the pure wool blankets. I like the weight and that's why I thought this blanket would sort me out. 

I have a pretend quilted blanket on the guest bed. It looks like a quilt but isn't. Got it at the oppy with matching pillowcases  in a fill a bag for $5 sale. Its soo pretty. 

On my bed is a bright red Silk duvet cover. I dont own inners to put in it. It's just there to look pretty. Another oppy purchase.  I've slept on silk sheets once and never again lol. 

If the blanket works out tonight, Ill actually make my bed properly for the first time in a good two years. I just throw a sheet on it if I decide to sleep there. And my "Bedding" in the lounge gets folded every day. 

Hopefully it will also mean I can stop my sleeping tablets. Getting to sleep always being hard if your legs are doing the Hyland Fling when your trying to go to sleep.

One thing I've learnt since MrP died is that its time to use my pretty things. And Im enjoying it. 

My only concern is, I've always been strict with crockery and as soon as a plate gets chipped I needed a new dinner set. Now I have some odd pieces in my fave red and white and I use them more often than the full set of red lol
