Refined Comfort


I am sitting here desperate for the touch and feel of all these wonderful sheets at Williams-Sonoma. Here I sit, in 'The Rental' with all our belongings in a container somewhere off the shore of New Zealand on their way to the UK. Why oh why did I not put our nice comfy sheets in air freight?? In the coldest winter in the UK in 25 years! Why oh why did I elect to take the bedding rental package instead? While it all looked white, puffy and wonderful when we arrived, we soon discovered they are 100% polyester. If you count threads in your sheeting you will know how I feel! So here I sit, longingly reading and reaching out to the Williams-Sonoma email that I just received. Every word...every fibre is a treasure. If only I could take it all.....

PS...I neglected to mention that I chose our computer equipment and cooking essentials as priority over the bedding in our air freight...only 8 boxes. What is a girl to do?
