red poppies make for a cool bed















When it gets hot in Florida, you put away the heavy comforter and go for something lighter. I was on the hunt for a pretty bed spread or coverlet and ran across The Saffron Marigold. Read all about them online. They specialize in Indian textiles. I have found the typical block printed wall hangings and bed covers (tapestries) in many a hippie store, but these are actually very pretty and saturated in color. The Red Poppy print was my favorite.

They make more then bedspreads by the way, you can also find duvets, pillows, drapes, tablecloths, and shower curtains. A great spot to find unique bedding and linens. It also gives a good history on the art of hand block printing.
