They stopped making them about twelve years ago, for some reason. You can still find a few, but they're crummy little prints usually. It drives me insane. Salespeople claim styles changed, but how many solid sheets can you have? I sure never stopped liking patterned sheets?

It happened about the time thread counts went through the roof. They stopped making percale-weave sheets and charged more more more for 300 - 600 count Egyptian cotton, like no one ever had a good night's sleep on 260 count percale. Don't get me started.

I love your attitude, that is something I would say. LOL

All the compliments will give me a big head! lol. I am very pleased with it because of the bright colors, which I love and she'll be getting her brown too, which is one of her favorite decorating colors. I'll be glad when it's on her bed!
