As a follow-up to my earlier comment about the dearth of sheets in our local BB&B...
I happened to be in that same BB&B today for the first time in ages to pick up something small in order to use up the rest of a gift card and they were having a going out of business sale (for that location). We have a couple other BB&B locations somewhat nearby and I'm curious if they're going out of business too. |

Sheet shopping makes me very cranky because on top of trying to find affordable, quality options, I'm looking for cooling fabrics like percale and I haven't used a top sheet since college so would rather not buy sets.
Bed Bath and Beyond is pretty much the only retailer who offered all of the above in their Heartland brand. (The fitted sheet even had tabs along the edges indicating top/bottom and side--nice touch!) When I went back to get more, the Heartland line had been dc'ed (because of course it had) and as adawn said, there were a lot of empty shelves. The stores are really in trouble apparently and are not restocking for the holidays in addition to closing more locations. To combat the "set syndrome" I recently bought a small sewing machine with the idea that if I'm forced to buy sets, at least I can sew two flat sheets together to make a duvet cover. I'm terrible at sewing, but three straight lines should be doable

In the thrill of the moment I bought myself new purses. Just could not resist the pretty color!! I love the color green, and lucked into some at TJ Maxx and Marshalls by Patricia Nash in a color they call Spring Green. Really pretty.
One's a crossbody bag, one's a wristlet and the other is a (heavy) gigantic tote with a zipper top. Between the three, I think I'm set. I've never bought purses at the same time like this, but I do like the fact that there's a consistency of style and quality. The gigantic tote mostly lives in my car with the extra stuff I can't bear to be without, which makes it easy to transfer my wallets to the crossbody bag for everyday use. The crossbody's not quite big enough to hold my phone, but I make it work. Guess I need to winnow down my wallet duo and make it some space, but I'm holding off on that for now.

Update
Thanks again for all the helpful replies!
It was hard to find Full size sheets in the discount stores. I bought some Laura Ashley flannel sheets in the "Victoria Beige" pattern on sale at Amazon. They are very pretty. I'm trying them out tonight.
