One of my favorite linen resources, Plover Organic, which makes stylish, eco-conscious, organic cotton bedding, is currently offering great discounts on its 2008 Spring/Summer Collection. Whether in need of crib bedding, duvets, euro shams, pillowcases, quilts, or fabric by the yard, Plover has got you covered at an affordable price. The Spring/Summer collection features a calm turquoise, yellow, and brown palette of botanicals that are block-printed by hand.

If a cactus could ever look cute, JackRabbit has devised a means to that end with the Cactus Picnic Napkin Set, a set of four 10-by-12-inch handmade napkins screen printed with a grid of perky green cacti. I can't think of a better occasion to debut these prickly succulents than a backyard barbecue — or perhaps a Park(ing) Day picnic. While the weather is still warming up here in San Francisco, temperatures are turning chilly elsewhere, so you'd better snatch these babies up fast and throw some T-bones on the grill.

Blissliving Home has released a handful of new Fall bedding sets, and I am particularly enthralled by the Amelie Duvet Set ($225). Not only does it share the name of a quirky French film we all know and love, but also that of one of my top two favorite wine bars in San Francisco. And, if that weren't enough to get me into bed (har har), it has a perfect balance of femininity and modernity.

I recently came across a wonderful recipe for homemade linen spray at Hallmark magazine of all places and had to share because it's so simple and customizable. It's also an ideal way to infuse the scent of an endless Summer into your bedroom. Spritz a bit onto your sheets or onto your clothes as you're ironing, or spray it into the air to use it like a room spray.

I adore toile but sometimes feel as if it needs an infusion of humor. Enter Historically Inaccurate Decorative Arts, a textile company intent on tickling toile's funny bone. With a few carefully placed stitches, a pastoral scene goes from domestic to out of this world.

Katie Price, aka Jordan, just launched her bedding collection at Matalan in the UK. PopSugar UK had a few opinions on the line, and whatever you think of Jordan, I know what I think of this bedding: Can anyone say tween girl?

Considering how many hours a baby spends sleeping, it isn't too hard to understand why some moms splurge on luxury bed linens for their littlest ones. Add to that some beautiful designs that could easily translate into master bedroom and you may be sucked in to the new baby line from Lulu DK Matouk.
After taking the adult linen world by storm, the company has entered the newborn market with a line of 430 and 500-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, bumpers, blankets and crib skirts that will make your nursery the focal point of your home.

Envision the love child of the Marimekko Himmeli Linens and Jonathan Adler Hollywood Duvet sporting the pale yellow and gray trend on Spring Break, and you're looking at the Style & Co. Lotus Blossom Bedding ($24-$79). I myself own a set of Style & Co.

What better way to say goodbye to love shack month than with a verdant new bedding set? This 1891 by Sferra Arbor bedding includes a duvet set (with 2 pillow shams) ($249), a complete sheet set ($199), standard pillowcases ($45), and a bed skirt ($194), for a prize package totaling $687.
This lushly romantic bedding features a toile-like woodland scene of trees, boughs, and foliage.
Until I stumbled upon this sweeter-than-sweet Early Bird Comforter Cover ($40-$57) at Delia's, I probably would have been embarrassed to admit that I'd ever laid eyes on the catalog. This comforter cover, though, among other bedding sets at Delia's that are practically free, is far from the tween tackiness I associate with the retailer. It's smart, cute, and modern, and I have no qualms about saying so.
