Rush . . . Rush . . . Rush

It seems everything this week is a huge rush. We have lots of company coming and I have lots of "school work" plus I am finishing up a couple baby quilts and delivering another customer quilt today. And - I am going to love some time this afternoon and evening with Weston. I have to leave early, early on Monday.

You know a few weeks ago, I shared my experience in finding good bedding bargains for "The Cottage" at our local thrift store. One of the things I mentioned at the time was that all of our bedding at home really needs to be updated as it was looking worse than many of those at the thrift shop.

So I decided to find 2 bedspreads yesterday for the guest room that has twin beds. Well - they don't make plain old bedspreads any more I guess. I found some lovely coverlets for $99 each and then you would want to purchase a sham for each at anther $39. Hmm-m. That didn't feel like something I was looking to do for company that would be here for 2 nights. I could put them up in a nice hotel here for that.

As I was leaving our "Bed, Bath and Beyond" I drove by Target and remembered my sister always tells me about the good sales they have on the ends of their aisles. So I stopped. Wow! I got everything I needed for the twin beds with new sheets, dust ruffles, shams and nice coverlets for less that $55 for both beds total from their sale aisle. And then I saw another set for our king bed that was marked $32 (originally $168) and it was a tapestry comforter, dust ruffle, shams, and sheets and the sheets are sateen. And then there was one more set that works for the other guest room and it was $22.

So, on top of everything else, I have been totally changing out all of the beds, washing new towels and new sheets when the older ones would have worked fine as they were already clean. Sometimes I think I fall off the deep end when I see a good buy. But - our bedrooms look less like rejects from the local thrift store. . .
