all dressed up pretty

my linen closet has:

two sets of sheets for each bed

extra blankets

two sets of towels for each person

lots of throws

pool towels for everyone

antique quilts

quilts for play

two extra regular pillows

two extra king pillows

 laundry baskets 

baskets of individual toiletries 

and hair appliances for guests 

if you haven't noticed i love white 

 white sheets, white towels, and white blankets

there is even a lovely suitcase to fill with supplies and goodies for your guests.

place a house key inside the suitcase to make them feel more welcome, 

along with a map of your area and local places to shop and eat.

{i got this idea from the HGTV show "secrets of a stylist"}

beautiful family heirlooms

the tags are a fun way to personalize your items 

they are avery tags #22802 all done on the computer

it helps everyone to tell the play quilts from the antique quilts

the pool towels from the bath towels and the king sheets from the twin sheets

baskets full of toiletries to help guests feel like home

quilts i made for grandkids to play

beach and pool towels for sunny southern california
