Hooray for duvets!
It's the simple pleasures in life that make it what it is, and I think you've guessed what mine happens to be this week.
I don't really mind doing housework, hey, there's immediate gratification in most forms of cleaning. However, I think everyone has a least favorite chore, and usually mine is making the bed. But there's something so great about nice smooth sheets... what's a girl to do?
My first duvet experience was in a hostel in Budapest, where we were each given 1 blanket, 1 sheet, and 1 GIANT pillowcase. We've got no clue, so picture Jen, Erin, and I trying to fit our mattresses into this thing. Luckily, we were soon righted.
My love affair with duvets has accompanied me though many a lovely time, from country farmhouses in Germany, to numerous shady hostels, to castles in Scotland. What more could you want- easy to clean, cozy to sleep on, and no wrinkly mess. Just a flip of the wrist and your bed is made!
So let's hear it for whoever invented this brilliant bit of bedding. Hip hip....

Funny you should mention duvets, Liz. My first encounter with a duvet was in Scotland near your neck of the woods. I admit I was a little skeptical at first (especially when I realized the name is almost undoubtedly of French origin), but after a night or two, I was sold. I've used them in Japan too, but I'm not enough of a duvet connoisseur to know whether they're the real thing or pitiful, flimsy imposters.
Can't say I know much about them. I think that Jen joined your love affair because we now have one on our bed. It seems pretty nice, though I thorougly enjoy the down comforter inside!
Liz...I'm totally with you. I hate making my bed but this makes it so simple that I'm determined never to go back to the American way. I'm going to the Ikea in Dallas when I get back and buying real European duvets and sheets.
P.S. Allison and I got your postcard in the mail today! Thanks for sending one to us...that was so sweet!
