Something about Pure Linen......
There is just something about pure linen from Belgium that makes me melt inside just from the site of it in a picture. It's pure and elegant, comfortable and relaxed properties just bring thoughts of happy living. One of the best qualities about linen is that it is cool in the summer with its light and breezy look and feel and usual light and bold colors. Then autumn and winter come and just the change in color to the grays, browns, eggplant and deep oranges bring out the cozy, warm and nesting feel of the fabric. It's elements of sophistication and luxury in a basic down to earth feel and look are just intoxicating to my soul.

"Linen is crisp, clean and comfortable. Soft, yet strong and durable. The more it is used, the softer and stronger it becomes. It can absorb up to 20% of its weight in moisture before it feels damp, and easily releases moisture to the air to remain cool and dry to the touch. Flax remains colorfast and launders beautifully. It has the additional advantage to be non-allergenic. Flax requires considerably fewer pesticides and fertilizers than other crops. The fibers are recyclable and eventually biodegrade.
" (quote from libeco)

We carry the Libeco line of fine quality linen from Belgium. Libeco is one of only 2 remaining authentic linen companies in the world. Their tradition of producing the finest quality linens goes back to the late 1800's.
The new fall collection will be in shortly and we still have some of the summer line still available at a discount.

Luxurious, Elegant & Simple...
I just love everything about luxurious bedding and linen. To me fine linen is the most important thing to have in my home other than fresh flowers and plants. I am more than willing to give up something else in order to afford the finest linen in my budget. As much time as we spend in bed, I think it is important not to go cheap in the bedroom. Even when I choose a hotel to stay while traveling I always check out the quality of the linen.

Some might think it not affordable to spend lots of money on linen, to me you only need 1-2 quality sets that should last you several years. Fine linen is not something you have to purchase every year. What I do every year is buy one to two pieces of individual items to use to mix and match. This allows me to not have to break my bank, but always have a wonderful selection of bedding to choose from. I also mix and match with different types of material. I use pure silk, belgium linen, bamboo and organic cotton. I also look for individual pieces of vintage and antique bedding to use as decorative accents. This really gives your bedding a very unique and luxurious look. Coming this fall I will be included a very beautiful line of organic bedding to our boutique selection. It will be very affordable so make sure to check back with me or stop by the Botany's Desire after Sept. 20th.
