Christy Renaissance Egyptian Cotton Towels

Christy Renaissance Towel Bath Sheet, NavyI own a dozen of these towels and they are quite possibly the best towels available on the American market. The colors might not match the computer screen but if you would calibrate you monitor and then have accurate color to view you will find the oolors very accurate. Over a period of four years I have never had any problem with Christy towels. The threads have never come off on my skin as I wash them thouroughly before using. The one comparable towels to this are Des Camps towels but try using these for four years and you will have threadbare towels, many with holes and certainly all ready for replacement. The Christy towels seem to never loose strenth or thickness and also get softer with more washings. Absorbancy is better than any other towel on the market.

I was very excited when I ordered these towels, but I must say I've been disappointed. When I washed them before using them, a LOT of lint came off in both the washer and dryer, and they're still shedding lint. In addition, they're neither as soft nor as absorbent as much cheaper towels you can get from Target or Kmart. In contrast, we also got the Eloquence towels, and I have been THRILLED with them very absorbent, and very soft.

I bought these towels solely based on the customer reviews. These towels are very soft and absorbent but unfortunately, it leaves your skin the color of the towel, antique blue in my case, because it leaves it's fibers all over you. I washed my towels first before using them but it still happened. I hope I don't have to put them through too many more washes for this to cease.

We received these towels as a wedding gift and we love them. We have the parchment color. We haven't had any problem with material from the towels coming off, in fact these are the only towels I have used that this has not happened with. They get more soft and absorbent with each washing as well. I recommend highly them.

I've had a complete set of these towels since I got married in 1999 over 7 years now they are WONDERFUL. A few reviewers complain of the lint but I've noticed every towel I've ever had has a lot of lint for quite a while when they are new, so that is not such a big issue. It's easier to deal with on white towels than colored. Deep colors are the worst. Also,as one reviewer notes, these towels are not heavy, but that is WHY I find them preferable ....many towels are difficult to use because they are so heavy and often they are so dense they are not as absorbent. But these towels are lighter yet still very fluffy, absorbent, and luxurious so they are still easy to handle. they are so luxurious, you feel like you are getting the spa treatment everytime you use them! I guess that's why they are the towels preferred by the Queen of England! These are still fluffy and lovely even after many many washes over 7 years for the longest time you couldn't get these very many places. We rec'd them as a wedding gift from a friend who owned a very exclusive gift shop and I kept looking for more on-line and only lately have been able to find them I will definitely replace them with MORE Christy towels and probably this same line, the Rennaissance, Egyptian cotton. I might also add, if you have arthritis these are excellent. My Grandmother has quite a bit of arthritis in her hands, and she prefers to use lighter weight towels and washcloths these are perfect. You will have a lighter weight towel but you won't have to sacrifice quality or luxury.

Tangled Storybook Pillow

Tangled Storybook PillowAs a gift, I had received a Cinderella Storybook Pillow that was standard pillow sizedand I absolutely loved it! So, with Tangled being my favorite Disney movie I went online to see if I could find a Tangled versionand alas, I did! The only problem is that I didn't look at the sizing information. While the Cinderella one I have is the actual size of a regular pillow, the Tangled one is a little bit bigger than a Harry Potter book. I was disappointed! (Not only because of the size, but apparently because all Storybook Tangled "Jumbo" sized pillows are sold out all over online. Even on eBay.)

However, the graphics on this little pillow were amazing! So that was a plus!

It gives the impression that it's a 'pillow' when it most definitely isn't. It's approximately 12"X8" and not thick enough to be a pillow. the graphics are good and the text is clear. The three true pages inside are polyester with a thin piece of felt inside them to help keep the shape. The front and back "covers" have a some polyester filling, but this thing is too small to be a functional pillow. It may be great for a 2-year, but that's about it.

Ma Maison Silversea 7-Piece Comforter Set

Ma Maison Silversea 7-Piece Full Comforter SetI love the design for this mattress set, it's really pretty. However, the threading isn't that great (I'm noticing bits of thread coming undone) and the material is thin and flimsy. The plain side of the comforter also has a scratchier material so it feels uncomfortable to touch.

If you get this I would probably suggest it be used for decoration only and not any real use. Also when I washed it I laid it out to dry instead of tumble dry low. I don't think the material or thread could handle the dryer even on the low setting.

So...

Decor: Gorgeous

Practical Use: None

Bought these curtains for my oldest sons room to go with his Transformers bedding!! He loves them! They are very thin material, but still help to keep the sunlight at a minimum! Great vibrant color and designs! Match the bedding perfectly!

Solid 400-Thread-Count Luxurious Cotton Sateen 4-Piece Sheet Set

Alok International 400-110021 400 Thread Count Sateen Cotton Sheet Set, King, ChocolateI took a wild chance with these sheets, despite the fact that they only had 1 review, and I'm so glad I did! I'll be the first to admit I'm not a patient person and reviews and even product descriptions about other sheet sets that said "will become softer over time" made me leery. I don't want my sheets softer later, I want them soft now! Fortunately, this set did not disappoint. After a quick wash and dry, I noticed the softness of the material right away. After I got them on the bed, they were soft and comfortable, and it honestly felt as though I had been using them for years. In all respects, exactly what I was looking for.

Very happy with my purchase. Soft and comfy, no complaints here for the price. Makes it harder to get out of bed in the morning though!

These sheets are okay. After washing them they lost their luster and if I was going to wash them frequently I believe they would fall apart. I'm using them to make a duvet cover, meaning they'll be washed less frequently so I'm not concerned. The ivory color is nice. The pillow cases are huge.
