Softest Sheets; Sallie home Has Them!

In St. Louis Magazine's July issue, they have awarded Sallie home with the title of "Softest Sheets" in 2008 - part of their St. Louis A-List 08' guide. We would like to thank our loyal customers for supporting us and consistently shopping in our store. Though Sallie home sells more than just bed linens(we offer top-of-the line dinnerware, tabletop and gifting items, too), the store began 30 years ago to fill the void of luxurious bed linens in St. Louis. For this reason, we pride ourselves on offering the world's best bed linens, and why we stock brands like SFERRA, Matouk, Yves Delorme and Peacock Alley. We know the value of a good night's rest and hopefully our sheets will help. Click here to see all the linens, tabletop, and gift items Sallie home has to offer your home!

Classic and Elegant; Hawthorne Limoges Dinnerware by Raynaud Tableware

The Hawthorne Collection by Raynaud Tableware is classic and elegant. This collection may seem plain at first glance compared to a lot of Raynaud's collection, but it's beauty is in it's detailing. The detailing blends in quite lovely with the rest of the plate as it is all in white and just slightly raised. Around the rim of the plates and along the body of some pieces like the gravy boat there are beautiful flowers and leaves connected by vines. Each piece is cut with curves and scalloping to give it an extra flare.

The Hawthorne collection is so beautiful and simple that it would be wonderful for everyday use - that is if you like doing dishes by hand. However, this collection is elegant enough to be used in formal settings as well. It is a versatile collection that is also timely.

Contre-Jour by Raynaud; Combining Photography and Porcelain

Contre-Jour dinnerware and serving pieces by Raynaud are inspired by the photography and designed by Marina Chastenet. Many of the photographs used are of flowers and plants. The photography used, suggested by the name Contre-Jour, was taken with the camera pointing directly towards the source of light. This creates a strong light and dark contrast that emphasizes lines and shapes - like the veins of leaves.

The Contre-Jour collection created nature-inspired pieces that show plants and flowers in their organic form. On each piece of Limoges porcelain there is a photographic image of flowers and plants, like poppies and hydrangea leaves, painted in their full intricacy. The Contre-Jour covered sugar bowl is striking. The almost transparent, sepia-hued, flower image is painted from the base upward, spilling onto the top of the lid.

Beautiful Baby Blanket by Brahms Mount

Baby animals are a sign that spring has arrived. Though I have noticed more of my friends having babies than animals, I would safely say spring is here. Babies are a great joy, but the abundance of babies this spring has also become a little bit of a burden for me as I am forced to find the perfect baby present. In my search I have found the most adorable baby gift for the spring baby.

Brahms Mount makes top-of-the-line cotton and linen blankets and throws using tried and true techniques that surpass the quality of a mass produced blanket or throw. Brahms Mount has a line of baby blankets that are soft, natural, and adorable - everything you'd want in a baby blanket. My favorite is the Checkmate Cotton Baby Blanket that comes in your choice of pastels. It is a classic checkerboard pattern that reminds me of my recently deceased baby blanket. Unlike mine, these blankets are made to last. They have a couple of other patterns, including a ticking stripe and a plain weave. Whichever pattern you choose, rest assure that they are all made from the same quality materials.

Dinnerware and Flowers: J.L. Coquet Angreacum Collection

Orchids are one of my favorite flowers. This is mainly because they were featured in one of my favorite films, "Adaptation", but also because it is truly a beautiful flower. There are many different orchids but in "Adaptation" they mention the Angreacum flower, which is a very large, star-shaped flower.

J.L. Coquet created a dinnerware collection which uses this very unique and delicate flower in its design. The Angreacum collection by J.L. Coquet is a beautiful white Limoges porcelain with these star-shaped orchids imprinted into the rim, giving this dinnerware a texture and beauty unlike any of their other collections. A great thing about this collection, besides its beauty, is that it is very versatile. It is wonderful for both a formal or a casual occasion and can be paired with just about any tabletop accessory.

A Gift That Shows True Love: Steuben Glass

I have another great Mother's Day gift idea or Birthday gift or an anytime of the year gift for a wonderful mother or parent. It is the flawless Penguin Parent and Child tabletop sculpture by Steuben Glass.
According to Steuben Glass, Penguin parents raise their chick in warmth and safety, protecting them from the frigid climate and surrounding predators. This sculpture, which is a parent encompassing their chick as they touch beaks, symbolizes the everlasting bond between a parent and child. The strength of this bond is so strong that their beaks become one. This is the perfect gift to show your love and appreciation to a caring parent, the one who raised you, stuck with you through thick and thin, and still loves you no matter what.

Jaune de Chrome Bangs Big with Limoges Porcelain Dinnerware

Jaune de Chrome keeps fine china contemporary and exciting. The Big Bang Gold Collection by Jaune de Chrome is simply stunning. The glaze for this collection is a mix of shiny and matte gold, making the surface textured and beautiful.

The most interesting piece from this Big Bang Gold collection, in my opinion, is the Teapot/Coffeepot. I think it is absolutely striking. The handle and spout jut out from the unusually-shaped body and are shiny and un-glazed, not textured like the body.
