Bedding



If you have had a baby in the last 10 years and have had the luxury of shopping for a bedding set you know that the prices can get pretty extraordinary. I mean, are you serious? $750...more than the crib...for bedding. Yes. My first experience with this was about 5 years ago when I was pregnant with my first. I thought I was going to need an epidural...immediately...when it was actually time to put together this nursery I had dreamed of for so long only to find out how expensive it was going to be. Now, don't misunderstand me, I am one of those lucky girls whose husbands are pretty generous in this respect.
"$" amount for a crib, "No problem," and I think he actually enjoys picking out the furniture. "$" amount for monogrammed bibs and burp cloths, "Whatever you want, " he says and smiles. "$" amount for a diaper bag..."are you crazy, yes, but I love you, so OK, he says."
"$" amount for the 'perfect' bedding set from bon bebe petite bateau luna bella blah blah blah boutique..."you ARE crazy...go to Target. No way".
And, what was even more frustating was the fact that there didn't seem to be a middle ground. It was the uber-expensive from the fancy online boutiques with french names, or Mickey Mouse from Wal-Mart. At that time, even tres' trendy Target couldn't even help me out. Similar experiences occurred during all three pregnancies.
What I find particulary amusing are the looks from people who haven't been in the market for baby bedding set recently. I don't think they believe us, just like our husbands didn't, when we tell them...that's just how much they are. Even at Babies R Us and Target (thanks by the way for Dwell Baby...you rock), bedding is just expensive.
So, imagine my joy and exhiliration in finally finding the cutest, trendiest, softest, best quality, most affordable bedding available. My happiness could launch rockets. And, I LOVE being able to bring them to my customers for $150. Yes, $150....trust me, that's as good as it gets. I promise, I know.
Available in many different boy, girl and neutral fabrics. All sets include duvet style bumper (yep, you can wash them without worrying about the insert getting "lumpy"), dust ruffle, crib quilt and sheet. 150.00
