As we walked out, we saw the new BLOWCHOW store and went in. I swear to god, my retinas have seared over from so much ugliness at one time! We were playing "I could live with this" since they had no interesting linens this time, and found a great pair of square reeded sterling candlesticks....so I turn them over to find I am in luck! They are marked down from $3600 to $1600. If I ever spend that kind of money on a candlestick, I hope someone will put me into the Rusk State Hospital. Can you imagine? THEN, as we go to leave they had this monstrosity near the door that looked like it had to have been in Ike Turner's Tuscan villa. And two great looking leather tub chairs, until you see this shaggy erzatz zebra fur sticking up fromt he back of the chair. I am never going in that store again. I've learned my lesson!

Frankly, I wouldn't have half the tuscan crap they offer in their catalog, as Mr. Stanley Marcus would roll over in his grave if he saw the faux luxury that Neiman Marcus now co-opts, but one thing they DO have is glorious Sferra linens at great prices. We bought a gorgeous cutwork lace tablecloth for our large oval table (when extended) and we use it at Easter and Thanksgiving. It is beautiful and we got it for less than half price. It's very hit and miss, and you sometimes have to go back several times. I am currently searching for pieces to make a complete set. The great thing is that patterned tone on tone pillow slips are compatible with plain sheets. Enjoy those sheets!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741250066681143078.post-81803457296481016192008-11-15T20:17:00.000+01:002008-11-15T20:17:00.000+01:00I want every color of the Sferra Bristol throw and...I want every color of the Sferra Bristol throw and the linen looks heavenly.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809643560097517895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741250066681143078.post-15160808548845503112008-11-15T20:00:00.001+01:002008-11-15T20:00:00.001+01:00Anne and Fiona I agree with you both!!Anne and Fiona I agree with you both!!ALL THE BESThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061884142057169005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741250066681143078.post-34439617058013696282008-11-15T20:00:00.000+01:002008-11-15T20:00:00.000+01:00Sferra Bristol throw, a good book, a Bill Evans CD...Sferra Bristol throw, a good book, a Bill Evans CD and a glass of port...now you are talking my language Christopher!ALL THE BESThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061884142057169005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741250066681143078.post-25287483901068231482008-11-15T19:58:00.000+01:002008-11-15T19:58:00.000+01:00The colours are so lovely.The colours are so lovely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741250066681143078.post-83660442329064525402008-11-15T16:24:00.000+01:002008-11-15T16:24:00.000+01:00Nice profile and the blankets look perfect.
