Bed and books

So what’s the difference between sheets that are 50% polyester/50% cotton and 30% polyester/70% cotton? The latter may be of a softer texture but is prone to “himulmol.” (I think that translates to pilling in English.) Since H has allergies to those little things, we thought it best to go with the 50/50. Our friendly SM saleslady also said that the 30/70 make is prone to have more wrinkles (“Gusutin,” she said). Hey, who wants wrinkles? And so we got a wonderful geometric blue and white fitted sheet, two pillowcases and a flat sheet. I was expecting it to be a bit rough to the touch but it wasn’t so bad after all.

 

In other news, I picked out my [advanced] birthday gift from H yesterday. Yipee! I got a 5 1/2 ft. tall walnut bookshelf. Oooh, I can’t wait to place all my books there. I can scratch this item off my wish list. 😀

 

Have a great week everyone! And I have a tagboard now, by the way. 😀
