Oh Sheet!

I'm mindful that certain extravagances are sometimes left too late for us to enjoy. So while I can enjoy nice sheets, I shall enjoy nice sheets.

Went out on a lunch-shopping spree with Meesh today. After stuffing myself with Agedashi Tofu, Risotto with Grilled Tiger Prawns (thanks to a recommendation from Jikon) and my weekly dose of Pavlova (although, I've had two slices this week already!), we proceeded to look for sheets. It seems that sheet-shopping can be quite addictive, I caught another friend sheet-hunting this morning, after a 2-hour round yesterday with me.

After 'swinging by' British India several times, I realised that there were some things that are worth buying, and some things you should just wait for people to give you. So I continued to Aussino, for the stuff that are worth buying.

I had first thought of yet another checkered number - a light blue, grey and white one from Aussino. We considered bedskirts, fitted sheets, quilt covers, and pillow shams (what's the difference between a sham and a cover anyway?).

Meesh 'test drove' several specimens, learning quickly the difference between 250, 370 and 400-thread count sheets. After the third bed, she got a bit too comfortable - which offered a wonderful photo opportunity. Funny that the salesgirl reprimanded me for taking a photo and not her for taking a nap. But then again, it is a bedding shop...

Either way, I settled on a simple 400-thread count sheet/quilt cover/pillow sham ensemble - all white with 'big squares'. It was slightly above my original budget but the way I see it, if you'll spend 8 hours a day in it, you better make sure it feels good!
