Tchochkes

I’m not sheets obsessed, regardless of how it looks. It’s just that once I started writing about places to buy bedding I started to remember all of the other places I’ve bought after moving here. Lands End has an Overstock site which ships to Israel. Their price for shipping is $15 for priority air (one to two weeks) if you spend up to $100.

This may seem high, but if you get something on a really good sale it’s not such a bad deal. Keep in mind that you will have to pay 15.5% tax if the purchase is over $50.

I also have to admit a small issue I have with Lands End since they were bought by Sears. (Childhood trauma of being the only kid in Toughskins when the rest were in Calvin Klein). With that said, I have some sheets by them and they are fine quality - 300 percale Egyptian cotton.

I will fully admit that I have been negligent with posting lately. The Hubby is working (in his free time, which he has none poor thing) on a wordpress blog which I will change over to when it’s finished.

I can import the blogger stuff into wordpress according to their site, but I’m expecting it to be a nightmare so the less we have to import the better. I have a ton of content waiting to be posted - and eventually it all will be.

On a different note - the four poster bed at IKEA is on a pretty incredible sale and I have to admit it really has me thinking. We do need a new bed and this is a very cute cheap bed.

I don’t think it sold well, so they probably won’t be keeping it in their collection. Not that I care about that, actually to me that’s a plus because that means I won’t be seeing it everywhere. And I love the yellow.

Of course, I can also imagine the boys climbing it like monkeys (I haven’t decided if that’s a good or bad thing yet).

[Post update: Checked with The Hubby and he doesn't like the style. It seems he agrees with the general population. Well, there goes that idea...]

In my direct emails to both ‘E’ from Tel Aviv and ‘L’ from Modiin I’ve mention raananalist as my favorite ‘anglo’ message board in the country. For those of you outside of Israel, ‘anglos‘ are what native English speaker are called here. It makes no sense to me, but apparently it’s common, and we stick with it.
