They're to die for...600 thread count is worth every penny in my books...:) so I guess we're 600 thread count snobs :)Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697546364119777641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589339935152891167.post-78685779910549138552012-02-21T11:10:31.481-08:002012-02-21T11:10:31.481-08:00glad you are able to embrace your feminine side!.....glad you are able to embrace your feminine side!..and as for the thread count?..once you hit 600 thread count you never go back!!Sue and Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436889944386917688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589339935152891167.post-85970387516096499232012-02-21T10:21:36.598-08:002012-02-21T10:21:36.598-08:00Bob, I read on Good Luck Duck....you had lived in ...Bob, I read on Good Luck Duck....you had lived in Horesheads !

Of course, I buy mine at estate sales, and who cares that someone else has been all over them first (urp)? Let me put that another way: I interrupt the consumption/production chain at every opportunity, while still enjoying certain luxuries. And, even though I am a practicing Thriftian, I won't ever buy anything whose threads I can see with my unaided eye.<br /><br />Roxanne<br /><a href="http://thegoodluckduck.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Good Luck Duck</a>The Good Luck Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08448071993000984393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589339935152891167.post-8577458075599475342012-02-21T07:30:02.867-08:002012-02-21T07:30:02.867-08:00Thanks for the update on your doings why the bette...Thanks for the update on your doings why the better half is out of town.<br />I must say...I have never seen such a large pillow case! It looks like it could be a tent.<br />I will admit that I thought 400, 500, 600 count was a waste of money until we were given a set of 500 thread sheets as a gift. I no longer think the same way. ~wheresweaverwhere's weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146465650359155960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589339935152891167.post-50982644871428515412012-02-21T07:26:34.578-08:002012-02-21T07:26:34.578-08:00I, too, am married to a man who sews.
