Sferra Bedding Feels Effects of Higher Cotton Prices

Paul Hooker, president of upscale bedding brand, Sferra, talks to Fox Business about the rough patch that has hit the bedding industry. The rough patch was caused by cotton prices hitting a historic, 100 year high. This, unfortunately, has made it hard for Hooker to find the softest cotton for the softest prices, something he and his company prided themselves on.

According to Hooker, it has become harder to negotiate cotton buying prices; negotiation has basically become nonexistent. Sferra has been forced to knock up product pricing so as to maintain the quality of their bedding just as many clothing companies, like Gap and JCPenny, have done. This is instead of switching to something cheaper like synthetic cottons and fibers.

Good news is, cotton farmers have started planting more cotton in hopes to get costs back to normal. Here's to hoping prices of cotton, gas, and coffee go back down!

10 Things to Know About Bridal Registry

If you are among the masses who recently got engaged over this post holiday season, or know someone that did, here are some tips and advice before you start registering.

1. This is your ultimate wish-list. It's okay to ask for "splurge" items.
2. When creating your registry, don't be afraid to ask in-store consultants questions and advice.
3. Always register for more gifts than you have guests. And remember to choose gifts for all price ranges to give guest options.
4. Register more than one place to make it easier for guests to buy gifts, and make sure these stores have online bridal registries for out of town guests.
5. Register early so guests can rely on your registry for all gift giving events, including the engagement party, bridal showers, and the wedding.
6. Think of the sort of living and entertaining you want to do - and select items accordingly. Will you ever need that Soup Tureen? Do you want sterling silver?
7. When it comes to tableware, it is okay to mix patterns and shapes.
8. Include your husband in the registry decisions - he will be using these items, too.
9. Register items to consider: table, bath and bed linens; flatware; cookware and bakeware; dinnerware - everyday and fancy; crystal - white wine, crystal, champagne, and cocktail glasses; things for entertaining - cheese board, barware, candlesticks...
10. Give your registry information to your immediate family and those who are throwing parties and let them spread the word. If you have a wedding website, like knot.com, include a section for your places of registry.

Some popular registry brands to look at:
China: Raynaud, Anna Weatherley, J.L Coquet, William Yeoward, Philippe Deshoulieres, Annie Glass, Juliska

Great Recipe for Home Entertaining - Pheasant with Cranberry Peppercorn Sauce

I recently made this dish for a dinner party, and it was a huge success; succulent, flavorful, and simple! I know some don't really care for Pheasant, but with the seasonings, it wasn't at all "gamey." But if you can't bring yourself to eat pheasant, you can easily substitute a roasting chicken or turkey breast. Here is the recipe for 4 guests, as it appears in "An American Bounty":

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 whole pheasants, trussed
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup dry red wine
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns
2 tablespoons ruby port
2 tablespoons butter

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Dilute the cornstarch with an equal amount of cold water and set aside.
2. Pat the pheasants dry with paper towels and rub the skin with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavities with the thyme and bay leaves.
3. Place the pheasants on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 55 to 60 minutes, to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, or until the juices show no trace of pink when the thigh is pierced with a kitchen fork.
4. Remove the pheasants from the roasting pan; set aside and keep warm. Immediately add the wine to the roasting pan. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring; scrape the pan well to release all the browned bits on the bottom. Pour the juices into a saucepan.
5. Add the broth, cranberries, sugar, and cracked peppercorns to the saucepan and simmer over medium heat until the cranberries are very tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
6. Stir the diluted cornstarch if necessary to recombine and add it to the sauce; simmer for 2 more minutes.
7. Stir the ruby port and butter into the sauce. Add salt to taste. Cut the pheasants in half and serve with the sauce.

I served this with wild rice and it went nicely with a Santa Ema Reserve Merlot. For presentation, this dish has beautiful color, so I simply chose to plate it on a clean white dinner plate, like Raynaud's Hommage Dinner Plate.

Checklist for Holiday Entertaining

The holidays can be stressful enough and then some have the added stress of entertaining. I don't know how some people do it! So here is a quick checklist of things you might have overlooked in your holiday party planning:

Candles - A simple decoration that sets the mood and makes people feel warm and welcome

Cocktail Napkins - Good etiquette and adds a festive touch

Tablecloths - Check to see if there are any of last year's stains and if it needs to be ironed.

Serving Pieces - Look over your menu and make sure you have the serving pieces for each dish

Guest Towels - More than three linen or terry cloth ones or plenty of disposable guest towels

Napkin Rings - This is a festive touch that will liven up your table

Stemware - Make sure they are clean and that you have plenty. A good substitute for crystal during parties are the GoVino stemless wine glasses - unbreakable and meant to go in the dishwasher.

Remember, this is the time for joy and fun. Now is the time to forgive and be celebratory. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Beaujolias Nouveau Sallie home Party: Barcelona in Clayton, Riveting Notes, Grainger McKoy, and Bella Cucina

"We had a gathering at Sallie home for the opening of Beaujolias Nouveau, November 18th, 2010. French music squeezed on an accordion, from the wandering musician wearing a royal satin poet's shirt, baret and red scarf, set the atmosphere for the night as red wine poured into our GoVino re-usable, stemless wine glasses - which become the best seller of the night!

Barcelona, a tappas restaurant found off of Bemiston Road in Clayton, Missouri,known for their small plates of unusual foods, came with really tasty chicken drummies coq au vin, spearing a bed of mashed potatoes. These drummies were really superb with the fresh red wine.

Accompanying Barcelona's food was Bella Cucina, a new food line I brought in for those of us who need ever ready hors d'oeuvres in the pantry. Just add a little dab of bottled Bella Cucina to on-hand hand pastry tarts of phyllo dough in the freezer to serve to the most discriminate.

The food and music were delicious, but our guests of honor stole the spotlight. Guests were treated to a show of SLU law school's and Riveting Images'Deborah Herndon's juried photographs of French Countryside doors. From South Carolina, Grainger McKoy Jr., the famous sculptor's son, showed his collection of mallard feathers, bobwhite quail, and wood duck jewelry in sterling and gold. He brought the most fascinating piece, the mallard foot stem sterling goblet. Over all it was a wonderful night of entertaining for my friends and customers (who if they weren't before, I now consider friends). Thank you to all that came!"

Grainger McKoy Jewelry and Sculptures: Not Just for the Birds!

Grainger McKoy has a passion for the "pursuit of the flight of birds in wood." For a quarter century McKoy has been masterfully carving bird sculptures out of wood. Recently he opened up a whole new territory, he started using his wood carvings into bronze casts in which he poured gold and silver into. This discovery also moved him into the realm of wearable sculptures, or jewelry. Like his sculpture, the "jewelry design is of or about a bird, and starts with a piece of wood and a sharp blade."

The jewelry line, which started as a Christmas Gift for Mckoy's wife, has flourished. Now woman can purchase earrings, necklaces, pendants, and bracelets in Gold or Sterling Silver fashioned from feathers, quails, and other birdly inspirations. The Recovery Stroke Earrings were made upon a customer's request for a gift to give on the 10th anniversary of their wife surviving cancer, these earrings are based on a 12-foot tall Recovery Stroke Sculpture for Swan Lake Gardens in Sumter, South Carolina.

Men can enjoy cufflinks, money clips, rings, and lapel pins. This is the perfect Christmas gift for the avid hunter and bird lover. The Quail cufflink and stud set are their best sellers.

Sallie home is pleased to announced that we are now one of the lucky retail stores that is privileged enough to sell Grainger McKoy. Grainger McKoy will be at Sallie home in St. Louis, MO, November 18th, 2010 to debut his entire line, gold and silver.

Juliska's Introduces New Dinnerware

Juliska has introduced three new dinnerware lines in ceramics: Boxwood & Bow, Ruby, and Classic Bamboo. Boxwood & Bow is hung for the holiday with wreaths that go around the rim of the plates and bowls, topped off with a beautifully tied bow. This collection will be perfectly festive for the upcoming holidays.

The Ruby collection is meant to be mixed in with their other collections, giving a bright red hint of color to the tableset.

Be Careful What You Ask For - Santa Maria Novella Idralia Cream

The following is an excerpt from the owner of Sallie home's journal:

"Be careful what you ask 4 – I never thought I was a victim of "it wasn’t invented here-in-America-itus"; however, a year ago a customer asked for Santa Maria Novella’s Idralia cream for the face, an Italian Product…

I have been complimented all my life for my beautiful skin, which I naively believed. I recently had eye surgery and I told my houseman, Charles, that he would be regretting the day I could see again. Well, 3 weeks after the surgery when I could see again, I told Charles to clean the windows, mirrors, and my vanity table. I came home after work and began washing up for a dinner date. I sat at the vanity as the long spring day light poured in through the windows. Oh Dear! The visions! Be careful what you ask for! The best vision but worst sight I had had in years - creased skin that holds it's wrinkle after touching!!!How can you go out for cocktails and dinner and feel sublime? Thank God for my sense of humor - I told my husband the most humbling thing in my life happened today and we must go someplace with dim lighting.

So what does one do in a case like this? I recalled the cream the customer had me bring in - I immediately went to the store for the Santa Maria Novella Idralia cream. Now what? Crinkles are gone! I am happy to say that this problem has a solution. Now I love me clean glass, mirrors, windows, and fresh skin!"

Santa Maria Novella products, including the Idralia cream, are available at Sallie home; call 1-800-257-9167.

Peacock Alley Linen Airstream Event At Sallie home in St. Louis

Samoa Gold Band Dinnerware | A Simple Way to Celebrate Spring

Most dinnerware patterns I typically think of for my spring table are full of flowers and other busy patterns. This year, I found J.L. Coquet's Samoa Gold Band. The Samoa dinnerware collection is subtle yet embodies the lighthearted feel of spring. Most pieces from this collection have a simple gold band accent. The uniqueness comes from the shape of each plate, bowl, and cup; each piece has a flowing scalloped rim. The tea cup and saucer are the best part of the collection. The cup has a vine-like handle coming off the body which is reminiscent of a buttercup. This cup stands out even more with the gold-banded saucer which are like the surrounding petals.

When looking for spring tableware, dinnerware, and home accessories remember they don't have to be busy and full of flower power; the beauty of spring is also in the shape, color, and feel of goods. To view more beautiful dinnerware by J. L. Coquet available at Sallie home, click here.

Easter Bunny Brought us Mustardseed and Moonshine Egg Cup

The egg cup is not a commonly used item on today's table. Typically one would use an egg cup to serve hard boiled eggs. But the egg cup has proven to hold other purposes. In the early 1800s, a drink created in New Orleans which consisted of absinthe, brandy, and bitters, this was the first cocktail and it was served in an egg cup much like the Mustardseed and Moonshine egg cup.

On my table, I would use the Mustardseed and Moonshine Poppy Welsh egg cup as a condiment holder, like for salt, pepper, and other seasonings. It is a great spring and summer accent to a table! It is perfect for Easter and Passover when you might actually want to use it for its intended purpose, to serve a hard-boiled egg! If you don't want to utilize the egg cup, many people have collected various egg cups to put on display; it's quite a collectible item.

In addition to wrapping my mind around this phenomena, I was also thinking I wish I had a clock where I could change manually...

Then appeared the Halcyon Days New York Clock. This is a beautiful Charlotte Moss designed bedside clock made of enamel and gold. The outer shell is a beautiful emerald green on the bottom and using that same color is a wonderful grid pattern. It folds to close, which makes it wonderful for travel.

Scandia Down: Making Your Bed Softer

For over 3 decade, Scandia Down has been making beds across the United States softer. They have tried and true products, but recently they have went one step further to create an even better finished product. Our favorite collections, Versailles and Gossamer have been replaced with Vienna, Lucerne. They are basically the same pillow just up-scaled with some new details, like a softer, silkier fabric casing.

The great thing about Scandia Down pillows is that in each pattern, there is a pillow that is made specifically for your style of sleep. If you sleep on your stomach use the soft down, if you are a back sleeper use the medium fill, and if you are a side sleeper use the firm fill. Also, unlike other down pillows, Scandia Down uses state-of-the-art equipment to purify and remove all allergens from the down, allowing your allergies to take a rest. Sleep well tonight with the softest pillows by Scandia Down. To view other amazing soft down products by Scandia Down on Sallie home, click here.
