I've always wanted to find sheets like my Grandma Hammond had. Its such a strange memory to have of someone, but I remember her sheets always being so soft and cottony. I loved sleeping at Grandma's for many reasons like the candy jar, grapenuts and sewing lessons, but I also loved the sheets! For years I have tried to find sheets exactly like hers. I thought maybe 100% cotton was the key- nope. Thread count? nope. So I gave up when I found my Costco sheets.
But yesterday, I went back to Costco to get another set of amazing million thread count sheets. I saw another brand that was 300 thread count, cotton/poly blend. I squished my finger inbetween the zipper to try and feel them. They felt kind of like Grandma Hammond's sheets! I was so excited! So I bought a set and prayed that once they washed up, I'd be able to sleep in the back bedroom at Grandma's house again.
I stripped my bed last night, washed up those sheets and sure enough- Grandma's back bedroom was now located upstairs at my house. I slept so well last night. :)

Ames,
This entry hit home with me. My grandmother always had the most amazing sheets. Recently, she gave me a few sets after she moved from a king-sized to a queen and I was in heaven! I always thought they must be so soft because they were used for years and years.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who remembers something like that! And didn't know you had a blog... haha nice to see!
I gotta get me a set of those sheets! I can feel them right now with that memory of being in the back bedroom with the sewing machine.
No blog yet, I might cave under the pressure though. Stay tuned...
