1. I have come to loathe dust ruffles.

I am so sick of comforter sets with ten piece sets of things that I don't want. I have just converted all of my bedrooms to bedspreads....they come down to the floor and it is just one piece. No more fighting with dust ruffles and shams and pillows that I throw off the bed every night. It wasn't easy to find bedspreads these days, but I am so glad I found them. I could have given you dust ruffles----well, not really, since mine are just full size beds.

And oh how I love my old pyrex and I hate that I broke one of my favorite pieces. I will have to check that site out.
