I get too much pleasure from all those little details (and scraps) to ever give it up! LOL! But I confess that making the perfect mattress that needs to be hidden by bedding... just makes me want to build a scene where the mattress is left bare... a run down old Hippy Pad...? An abandoned house...? A Junk shop....? the possibilities are tempting....!!!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-82795337387277451362013-02-27T20:46:28.543-05:002013-02-27T20:46:28.543-05:00I was just thinking, "you'll always know ...I was just thinking, "you'll always know it's there." It's true, it's almost a shame to hide those marvelous little mattresses. And I agree with one of your other commenters, using up little scraps brings back memories. Like the little green velveeen pieces. And the idea that making the perfect mattress beneath the perfect linen sheets & velveteen blanket (not to mention the amazing lace curtains!) is like wearing perfect underwear underneath a perfect dress.<br />You've outdone yourself.<br />Lots of love,<br />MomHarriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08607850290415958747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-14290168193480154932013-02-26T17:18:01.321-05:002013-02-26T17:18:01.321-05:00Oh Betsy, it's a mini marvel!

I thought, only Martha would have access to such a dream-weaving foundation for sleep. Now I think it would be better to shrink down small and sleep in the Chinoise bed. That's a bed for dreams and renewal. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05065689076495630286noreply@blogger.com
