Who is "she?"

Tricia -- the owner of Rough Linen.

Lucky you! Bad influences indeed :)

I saw that in her newsletter today! Aren't you happy?!

I was trying to type while my lab was wanting to play ball and didn't see my mistake -- I meant that we were planning on buying a set for our anniversary THIS year (next month) and I was wondering what we would do next year. I don't know that we will change our plans for this year.

Wouldn't a lighter shade of grey in the sheets be a great addition now?

Me too.

I saw that she now has charcoal. No thanks on my end. I just have never cared for grey. For the grey lovers out there that is just a fabulous addition.

I adore the strong white sheets, pillow slips and summer cover. They are the perfect white.

My pinny is black and I don't crave it in white or natural, the black is perfect.

I've been trying to decide whether I would want another pinny in black -- was considering the grey as not so strong, but to be honest, I wear a lot of black. You are making me think I should stay with black - when I do talk myself into another.

I would like lighter grey (pearl to cdove grey) sheets perhaps, but I don't see me getting anything other than possibly a pinny or tea towels in charcoal (instead of the black in the set of 7), more likely the tied apron for DH. I have a year to consider anyting annyway -- or at least until fall to hint for Christmas. The plan is for more natural and white for this year's anniversary. I think DH is delighted to be off the hook for shopping. And to get more linen sheets.

Charcoal sheets would be a go for me. *waits patiently*

So....I heard back from an email to Tricia asking if there could be pinafores made in the grey. She responded Yes, but there would be a $10 surcharge because the fabric is more expensive.

This is a good example of why this post is called More Bad Influences ;)

It seem everything adds $10. The pinafore has already gone up a great deal over the price when I bought mine. I'm actually thinking of making another one for myself and buying a color. I love the RL one and the workmanship, but that's a ppossible offshoot of planning to buy some linen to make a couple of sleep shirts for DH and the fact that I had to send mine back to get it altered. DH sleeps so hot that he perspires and the cotton shirts get smelly. Want to test linen after sleeping on it and using a couple of the tea towels. I may also buy some to make pilows for the sofa and/or sectional I don't have yet, so for me, the bad influences are spreading beyond the sheets.
