This and That: Summer Bedding

Recently I made the switch from our winter bedding to summer bedding. I never used to be one of those people who did that, but when I found some great deals on sheets and a pretty, lightweight quilt, I decided that I will be one of those people!

This is our "regular" bedding. It was made by Croscill Home and the pattern was called "Wisteria". It's very fancy, with lots of cord braid,  passementerie,embroidery and tassels....all my favorite things. The comforter is very thick and very heavy, so even with the "light" colors, it's very rich looking.

I switched out the heavy comforter for a lighter weight quilted coverlet that I found for $40.

It's so pretty!  My hubby is one of those men who are always hot, even in the middle of winter ( and I'm always cold!). He will really like this lighter cover this summer. We have central A/C, but he still complains often about being too warm at night.

These sheets I found a few months ago at TJMaxx for $20.

I still want to find some different pillow shams. I have four, two regular and two European that go with my regular bedding. I was thinking something in white eyelet. I might have to sew some!

I don't think I've ever posted pictures of the other things in our room. This table I use for my bedside table. It's actually an antique Singer sewing machine. The top opens up and the sewing machine comes out. I bought this many years ago at an auction...for $2.00 !

On my dresser I have a pretty cut glass hair receiver. It has a pretty celluloid/bakelite top. (The woman in the photo is my mom; her high school graduation picture in 1964) I'm still looking for a pretty vintage mirror and brush set to put on this dresser.

I use this vintage handkerchief as a dresser scarf to hide a gouge in the top of this antique dresser that I bought at an estate sale years ago.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting me!
