The pattern is one of the first Porthalult used to make linens after a contessa had her nightwear in this pattern and wanted sheets. I don't know the name but the pattern is a very pale light yellow covered with tiny flowers.

I live in New York City and they just recently opened a store on Park Ave. <BR/>To Anon - When I went into the store, they actually said that I could special order anything I wanted in any of the patterns or colors. They were so nice and accommodating. <BR/>My two favorite products (besides the sheets, of course!) are the beach towels, which are perfect for a mid-twenties professional like me, and the nightgowns are so feminine and beautiful. I have one in the pink heart pattern with lace down the side and it makes me feel so pretty! <BR/>To Peak of Chic - I love all your posts.

They were recently bought and stopped selling fabric by the yard so everyone keep their fingers crossed that nothing else changes!!!! They stopped doing crib bedding a few years ago which I find particularly devastating since I desperately want a porthault bumper/skirt/flat sheet for my baby on the way. How insane does it sound to make those out of a much loved porthault duvet I have? It seems completely logical to me but I have all those hormones making me crazy . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-62662976906122664382008-02-08T13:32:00.000-05:002008-02-08T13:32:00.000-05:00I agree with A.Lament - that's my favorite picture...I agree with A.Lament - that's my favorite picture along with Rita's.
