curious.

Don't you just love getting into a freshly made bed? Lovely cool cotton or linen sheets, a big fluffy duvet and so many pillows that you need to throw some off before you actually go to sleep! I love my bed.  I love linen- as most of my friends know, I have several old suitcases stuffed full of linens I've picked up at boot sales, charity shops, white elephant stalls and yes, I admit, I've even accepted the odd piece from friends!  But this is piece is not for the bed as a bed- it's just an accoutrement for the sleeper of the bed.  I usually just shove my pj's under my pillow after I make my bed in the morning...(yes, slovenly ways in bedmaking have no room in my house- thanks to my then-single mum, household chores were drilled into me before I could even write my name!)- but in the olden days they had special Pyjamas cases. In leather. Lined in silk. With special embossing. And it's just small enough to NOT be big enough for my cotton jimjams. One for the 'specials' suitcases...Or maybe I need to rethink what I'm wearing to bed?! Ohhhh, it's getting so cold at night and in the mornings now though- maybe I need to rethink what's in my bed instead of worrying what's under the pillow before I get into bed!
