Kaboodle is officially my newest addiction. I found these while browsing there today but they are originally from West Elm. I know, I know...shocker. (I LOVE WEST ELM!) I simply had to add this to the blog when I saw them. I've always loved embroidered things...pillowcases, sheets, blankets, even embroidered handkerchiefs framed are gorgeous to me. Perhaps it's from fond memories of embroidered "pretties" at my grandmother's house, or from my addiction to antique malls and thrift store finds. I'm not sure. But there is just something about thread woven into beautiful patterns on linens that makes me...well...giddy.

I am surprisingly particular about the pattern type, however. I'm not really fond of the "froofy frilly" type of embroidery (or anything for that matter), but this Morrocan style is absolutely beautiful. The colors are stunning and the pattern just lovely. I adore Morrocan things anyway for their color and perfection in pattern. I don't know that I'd do my entire home in this style, but I don't think I'd design my entire house in one particular style anyway. I'm not that kinda girl. IMO, a touch of several different styles blending into one palate in a home is interesting and inviting. Of course, I've seen homes that went completely overboard, but you get the picture. :)

I just have to have these. If I could only decide on which color. You know, it's not entirely crazy to design an entire bedroom around a set of sheets. No matter what you say.
