OFF TO THE PROVINCIALS!

The Charles Bloom Senior Girls Basketball team will be representing the Okanagan zone at the BC Girls A Provincials, hosted by Unity Christian of Chilliwack, March 6th – 9th. With a record of 19 wins and 2 loses, the girls are going in ranked #5 in the province. They clinched the North Zone Champion title, as well as won the Seaton Invitational, CBSS Invitational and Crosszone Championship in Kelowna.

After a heartbreaking loss last season in their qualifying game, the girls have worked hard this season to show resiliency and versatility and have risen to the challenges set out by their coaches. They have had to travel extensively to gain experience at competing at a higher level. It has been an emotional roller coaster, as the team has had to deal with several injuries and the knowledge that it is Coach Katherine Norman’s last year coaching after an impressive 40 years, with the bulk of it being at Charles Bloom. Her legacy at CBSS started back in 1988 when she coached her assistant, Jennie Currie, with that team making it to Provincials in 1990. Players Meghan Mulholland, Gillian MacPherson and Kindra Peterson began their journey with Coaches Norman and Currie in grade 9 as they played several games with the senior team. Ellie Hymas and Jessica Verhage also began their development with S U N D AY

Norman and Currie when in Grade 8. After convincing Summer Meger, Shae Jewitt and Esther Drysdale to join the team in Grade 10, their junior team with Hally Campbell, Marissa Blaney, Maxine Schibli, and Arella Eyzaguiree was the first CBSS junior team to ever go to Valleys. Erika Hymas was recently brought on to the team as one of the things that Norman is known for is mentoring young players. The impact that Norman has had on the basketball culture at Charles Bloom is evident when you look in the stands. Many former players and fans come cheer our teams on, as well as come back to

watch her perform!

Going into this competition, Coach Currie is optimistic about the girls’ chances at retaining their ranking, “The girls are making smart plays and reading the floor well.

All season long, they have been raising the bar for themselves and every girl has shown growth. Each game is played with pride and intensity.” Coach Norman added, “We are so proud of our girls, not only as athletes, but also for what they do in their academics and in the school community.

They are true leaders. Their dedication to the sport and to each other is incredible.

They continuously surprise us with what they are able to do both as a team and as individuals.”

The team would like to thank their parents and community for all of their support and encouragement over the years. Games can be viewed live online at www.bcgirlsabball.ca and by clicking live streaming. As well, you can monitor the success of the team through the Charles Bloom Athletics facebook page.

Just for Fun ••Q: If H2O is the formula for water, what is the formula for ice? A: H2O cubed.

••Fishing in a frozen lake It was a cold winter day. An old man walked out onto a frozen lake, cut a hole in the ice, dropped in his fishing line, and waited patiently for a bite.

He was there for almost an hour, without even a nibble, when a young boy walked out onto the ice, cut a hole in the ice next to him.

The young boy dropped his fishing line and minutes later he hooked a Largemouth Bass.

The old man couldn’t believe his eyes but chalked it up to plain luck. Shortly thereafter, the young boy pulled in another large catch.

The young boy kept catching fish after fish. Finally, the old man couldn’t take it any longer.

“Son” he said, “I’ve been here for over an hour without even a nibble. You’ve been here only a few minutes and have caught a half dozen fish! How do you do it?” The boy responded, “Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm.” “What was that?” the old man asked. Again the boy responded, “Roo raf roo reep ra rums rarrm.”

“Look,” said the old man, “I can’t understand a word you’re saying.” The boy spat the bait into his hand and said... “You have to keep the worms warm!”

••A redneck calls up the White House and tells the receptionist: “I’d like to become the next President of the United States.” The receptionist: “What are you, an idiot?” Redneck: “Why, is it required?”

To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate To the Editor, Forcing Parents to insure their Children, Grand Children, or themselves....get Vaccinated, with various poisons we don’t even know its contents, is unwise... and suggesting that parents who refuse, to have their Children Vaccinated, could be refused entry into their Schools, but we should remember, either for Religious or personal reasons, we make that decision, that it should NEVER be infringed upon by Government or anyone else. There already are calls for ADULTS being forced to get all the “necessary” so called disease inhibiting concoctions without even knowing REALLY what’s it these needles, FORCING US TO GET VACCINATED?? That will be the day!

If your one of those, who believe ALL School ages should be FORCED to be Vaccinated, then GET YOURS DONE, and leave the rest of us out of your plot, which by now must have all the pharmaceutical companies laughing all the way to the Bank, and don’t try to lay on me, “all the “Miracles” vaccinations have done man kind...”

I’ve read my History books, and I will concede that

some of the most horrible diseases imagined, have been eradicated by research, by these very Companies. Vaccinations, designed to fight and destroy many life threatening illnesses, but how dare you try to suggest FORCE, and suggest legislated FORCE, to insure WE, and our Grand Children, or anyone else to accept what you believe is necessary. Drug Companies love people like you, are the largest Drug pushers on the Planet. If the real truth was know, have probably created as many diseases as they curtailed, and the Government also find individuals very helpful, who accept this suggestion of FORCED VACCINATIONS, (forget about our Charter of Rights and Freedoms), after all, our Prime Minister finds it fashionable! and probably, in his opinion, very helpful also, as planned, it’s just another method of Citizen CONTROL. Now if your one who might find this offensive, and believe FORCE IS NECESSARY TO INSURE VACCINATIONS by all, is necessary, perhaps you might consider a visit to our Library and search for Adolf Hitler’s book, “Mein Kampf”, as he believed he had all the “solutions” for a disease free Society also!

R. L. Shunter, Lumby, BC

RDN Green Amber To Area D Rep Rick Fairbairn regarding Green Amber’s proposed Cannabis factory on Shafer Road, Lumby, B.C. Rick, your conduct has been beyond disappointing.

We believe as people in your district, it is entirely reasonable for us to expect you, our elected representative, when asked, to provide your thoughts on this proposal and your rationale for supporting Green Amber’s nonfarm use application to the ALC. Yet, to this date, you have ignored and not answered any of the questions we have asked you.

Why is it that you are supporting this 107,000 sq. ft. factory on our quiet country road? Did you not care

how it would affect our lifestyles, property values and water resources? Green Amber will be using the water volume of over 14 homes. That is far more than the usage of all the other households on Shafer Road combined. The average residential household in the Okanagan uses 246,375 L/yr. and Green Amber is going to use a minimum of 3.5 million litres/yr. which could very well be a threat to everyone’s water supply. Green Amber hasn’t begun to tap the resources of their well and they don’t know for sure if it will sustain their huge water requirements. You have made the statement to people in Lumby that “Shafer Road doesn’t have water issues”. How would you know this? You have not contacted even one Shafer Rd. resident to see what their water supply is like. There are families that must haul in water for the summer months. Every single person on Shafer Road is careful with their water usage. Shafer Road residents have in past years tried cattle and vegetable farming and could not succeed at it because of the lack of water. So how can you make comments about our water resources when you have not asked any of us what our water situation is like?

In addition, you have also made comments to people in Lumby that our house is “overpriced”. We have been told by our licenced agent that we will lose a lot of money if the facility goes through. We have lost of-

Lumby Community Thrift Store...

The Heartbeat of Lumby with Guilt Free Shopping

Hello Fellow Thrifters!

Wow, March is here! With each calendar month we try to feature new sales for the store. From March 1-15th all jigsaw puzzles and board games will be on sale for the amazing low price of 50 cents each! It’s a great time to pick up some puzzles or games for the entire family to enjoy on a cold or rainy day.

Is your child going to be attending a wedding, communion, or formal type event in the near future? If they are, then we have just the clothes for them!

Come and take a look at our huge selection of beautiful fancy dresses for little girls. And we also have something for little boys to wear. You will find boys suits that include a vest, pair of slacks and a shirt or tie to complete their ensemble in our children’s wear. These formal types of clothes are very expensive to buy in any retail store; however, your child can have a splendid outfit for only a fraction of the price at The Thrift!

We want to thank everyone for being very considerate in not dumping old furniture or other unusable items at our store for us to dispose of. The retail area is very full and unfortunately, we don’t have the room to accommodate furniture sales at this time.

I am going to mention that we have a good selection of jewellery making supplies if this is your hobby. Special beads, both in colored glass or with silver and gold finishes and fascinating pendants can be found in two small chests of drawers on the front counter beside the till.

Attention all collectors of silver-plated items, we have just put out a large collection of silver-plated goblets and do they ever look nice with candles in them! How about putting one or two of these special goblets on your dinner table? A pretty classy touch! They are priced to sell at only $1 each!

Some new volunteers have joined the Thrift to lend us a hand. We especially want to thank Donna working in the linens dept., Debbie in children’s books, Ross in fiction and non-fiction books, Gordon in small appliances, Carrol and Wendy in clothing and retail displays, Brittany in children’s clothing, Brenda in custodial, and Pat and Angie in sorting. Please forgive me if I’ve missed anyone. A big thank you to all of you…we appreciate each and every person that volunteers at our store. Many hands make light work!!! You too can be a volunteer if you come to the store and fill out our application.

I’ll close with some really positive news! The Thrift just received a cheque for $5,246.55 in payment for all your recycling material. It’s wonderful that many of you give us clothing, worn out jeans, thread bare towels, sheets, sewing scraps or any fabric that is no longer useable because it is stained, ripped, or worn out and can’t be sold. This allows us to increase the amount of materials we send for recycling and the best part is that all the funds go to support our Lumby Food Bank, the breakfast and lunch programs in our schools, The Lumby Health Society and a few other smaller worthwhile programs. Give yourselves a pat on the back!!! Well Done!!!

Our regular sales are Tuesdays - a shopping bag of clothing and a regular priced pair of shoes for $5.00, Wednesdays – 50% off most items for seniors and the last Friday of the month – a garbage bag of clothing and a regular priced pair of shoes for $10.00. Items with price tags attached are not included in our bag sales. Phone 778-473-3003.

Store hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10 am to 3 pm. We are located in the Arbor Park Shopping Mall.

Happy Thrifting!

New 4G LTE Broadband Internet Services Completed In Rural BC

ABC Communications (www.abccommunications.com), one of British Columbia’s largest privately held internet service providers; recently completed the Future is Now Project deploying fixed 4G LTE Internet services to many rural communities in B.C. The project led by Falko Kadenbach, Vice President of ABC Communications, was made possible with the support of the Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia and ABC Communications.

The project was started in the fall of 2015 and was completed in 2018, providing network improvements to numerous B.C. communities including Burns Lake, Cluculz Lake, Tache, Yekooche, Fraser Lake, Vanderhoof, Lac La Hache, 92 Mile, Bridge Lake, Green Lake, Horsefly, Quesnel, McLeese Lake, Dugan Lake, Sheridan Lake, Lone Butte, 100 Mile House, Horse Lake, Gateway, Canim Lake, Bear Lake, Hixon, Prince George, Beaverdell, Rock Creek, Lumby, Little Fort, Copper Creek and Walhachin.

The project criteria set by the federal government at the time was to supply 5 Mbps services to these communities. However, ABC Communications committed to supply up to 15 Mbps as part of its project scope. Since then, ABC has expanded services in many of these communities to 25 Mbps because of the scalability of the LTE systems they installed as part of this project.

“By bridging the digital divide, we drive change in our rural communities and create equal opportunities for those choosing to live in rural parts of B.C.,” said Brian Coakley, former Cariboo Regional District Vice-Chair and Electoral Area L Director. “I am excited to see projects like this moving forward in the Cariboo, particularly in my own electoral area, and adding value to our local businesses.”

“Reliable high-speed internet access has become as important to our cities and towns as the roads that connect them,” said Jinny Sims, Minister of Citizens’ Services. “We’re working with local internet service providers like ABC Communications and other partners to expand connectivity in B.C.’s rural and Indigenous communities in order to grow the economy and improve services such as education, health care and emergency response.”

“Thanks to the work of ABC Communications, more than two dozen communities in central and northern B.C. have enhanced connections with the rest of the province and beyond. Reliable internet is so intertwined in day-to-day life that it is a necessary tool for people and their businesses to participate in the digital economy. These improvements will greatly benefit regional economies and emergency services. Northern Development is eager to see the positive effects of these infrastructure upgrades on individuals, communities and businesses throughout B.C.” said Joel McKay, CEO of Northern Development Initiative Trust.

Kadenbach added, “The speed at which telecommunications companies are investing in their networks to supply the ever increasing consumption of bandwidth is significant and only possible in rural and remote markets through the continuous commitment by the provincial and federal government to bridge the digital divide in Canada. Our next challenge is to reach the new 50 Mbps targets set by the Federal Government by 2021.”

About ABC Communications ABC Communications is one of B.C.’s premiere internet service and communications solutions providers. ABC is celebrating 30 years in business in 2019. From humble beginnings in business phone systems they now can boast the largest privately owned internet network in B.C. With customers in every region of the Province they have grown to become a true B.C. success story. They offer Fixed Wireless over LTE, Cable and DSL Internet, Business and Residential voice solutions and IPTV services.

Seniors’ Corner

A weekly feature for Lumby, Cherryville, and area seniors. For more information about any of the following please contact Colleen, Linda, or Jenny at (250) 547-8866 Whitevalley Community Resource Centre Office (250)547-8866, Saddle Mountain Drop In (250) 547-8821. Funding support provided by the Province of British Columbia (Community Gaming), Interior Health and United Way North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap.

Wellness Clinics

The Community Paramedicine Program is a relatively new service in British Columbia that was designed to help improve health care in rural areas.

Community paramedics can provide basic health care services in a non-urgent setting, in patients’ homes and in the community.

Community paramedicine is intended primarily for older patients living with on-going conditions such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes, or those who are at risk of falls. Older people living independently often have less support and benefit from someone checking in on occasion.

Regular visits from a community paramedic can assist

with seniors living longer in their own homes, reduce the reliance on unnecessary 911 calls and help ensure they stay connected with their primary care physician.

Patients are referred to this program by their doctor or other community health provider. The current paramedic providing this service in Lumby is Susan Cameron. She just celebrated 27 years as an active paramedic and she is visiting the Saddle Mountain lounge (1751 Glencaird Street) twice a month, hosting Wellness Clinics. If you would like more information on attending this complimentary program please call Whitevalley Community Resource Centre (250) 547-8866.

The Many Uses For Apple Cider Vinegar

By Donna Easto Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a staple in many homes, and its uses stem from trusted home remedies and its use in traditional folk medicine. As a result, it has a surprisingly wide application, everything from a dandruff treatment (1 part ACV to 1 part water massaged into hair), to acting as a digestive bitter - one or two tablespoons in water at the beginning of each meal. Because this is a big, and by no means complete, list I’ve done it in point form. You most likely have one or two that I’ve not listed here, and I’d love to hear from you!

••As a hot drink, 2 tbsp of ACV, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp lemon juice to 12 ounces of boiling water, drink warm ••As a rub in a light massage to relieve nerve pain ½ cup ACV to 2 cups water, dip a small cloth in the liquid and gently wipe the area with upward strokes. Or, someone can massage the area with hands dipped in the solution ••ACV deodorant. It must be organic, raw and unfiltered to work properly. Use the ACV straight, saturate a flat cosmetic pad (cotton balls soak up too much), wring it out a bit, and wipe it under your arms. You’ll only smell like a pickle for a short time.

••Kill foot odor with a soak made with ACV, water and epsom salts to get rid of odor-causing bacteria ••A natural alternative to commercial cleaning products: mix 1 cup water with ½ cup ACV, makes a good all-purpose cleanser; however, if you’re worried about really harmful bacteria, a natural organic commercial product may still be your best bet ••A popular home remedy for a sore throat, mix about 1 tbsp ACV to 8 ounces of water and gargle ••(personally, I vote for warm, salty water) ••Fruit flies bugging you? Easy - just pour some ACV into a cup, add a few drops of dish soap, and Bob’s your uncle!

••Weed killer - go at those pesky weeds with full strength apple cider vinegar or mix it with soap and lemon juice. Please remember that weeds are often good for you and great for beneficial insects and pollinators, so please leave the clover and Lumby & District Health Services Society (LDHSS) Fact

Colleen’s Corner

By Colleen Fielding Welcome to Colleen’s Corner. This is a column meant for fun and some information About myself: I am a Freelance Photographer you often see me on the side of the road or in various places taking photos of different things animals, birds, places, people etc. l have lived in Lumby just over 8 years,you have seen my photos in the newspaper (Lumby Valley Times) and once in awhile in the Vernon Morning Star, and the Lumby Art Gallery. Photography is my passion. Disclaimer: The information on some of my photos that I write about a lot of times come from the Internet or books I research them, hopefully the facts are as close to the truth as I can come.

Flower Of Many Colors, Forms That Smell Great Do you grow these? if not you might want to try having some in your gardens. They smell fantastic, and the birds, bees and butterflies love them. I am talking about Honeysuckle that sweet smelling flower that can come in a variety of colors, and forms. The colors range from white, yellow, bright orange, red, pink, and they produce black, blue, or red berries. You can have the nectar of the Honeysuckle flower, but don’t eat the berries as they are poisonous to us, but not to birds, bears, and forest animals. They can come in shrubs which can grow up to 20 or 30 feet or vine form which can grow up to 30 - 80 feet( I have the vine kind, but it has never grown that tall LOL) There are over 200 species of the sweet Honeysuckle, in China alone there is about 100 species.

There are lot of different things that people do with Honeysuckle, in the Victorian era people planted this beautiful sweet smelling flower outside their front doors to keep away the evil spirits and witches. It is used in herbal pillows to help you get a good nights

sleep, at one time it was also used in the treatment of Gout, Kidney Stones, and Liver disorders. In some cultures it is still used today to help ease Fevers, Influenza, Rashes, Skin Infections, Induce Sedation, Digestive Disorders, Cancerous Tumors, Constipation,

Itching, Swelling, Boils, Sores, Promote Sweating, it contains certain substances that can kill bacteria, don’t use if pregnant or breast feeding. Apparently it can slow blood-clotting, so it advised to stop using it about two weeks before any surgery so that there is no risk of extra bleeding during and after the surgery.

But of course with anything check with your health provider first before trying to use this in any of the forms mentioned.

It is also used in perfumes, and some beauty products.

I was watching the Moonshiners on TV a couple of weeks ago ( okay not something I usually watch, but I thought I would try it out) anyways the guy and his girlfriend thought they would make Honeysuckle Moonshine. Why Not they thought? Apparently it turned out pretty darn good according to the Moonshiners.

In the wild this great plant can survive about 20 years.

Home-Style Meals at Frank’s Debbee Werner, Cherryville.net Everyone knows Frank’s General Store on Highway 6 in Cherryville. Already well-known for its daily hot soup and Chili, Frank’s meal-time popularity has grown even more, thanks to its home-style meals made-from-scratch by Tiffany Symes.

“Tiffany is the best cook!” said Lisa Schwartz, owner of Frank’s General Store. “She takes such pride in everything she prepares. I’m so proud to have her cooking at Frank’s.”

Frank’s offers a variety of meals, including Shepherd’s Pie, Meat Lasagna, Chicken Alfredo Lasagna, Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Chicken Parmigiana; and

sometimes vegetarian meals. If not available fresh that day, meals are always available in the freezer, which is regularly restocked.

“Tiffany loves it when people make suggestions.

She’s always looking for new ideas and is happy to fill orders,” said Lisa. “All of her sauces in these meals are from old-fashioned recipes and made with love.”

The alfredo sauce is made from an old recipe of Tiffany’s family; the tomato sauce, and sweet ‘n’ sour sauce, are from Lisa’s mum, Rhea.

“My mum was always in the kitchen. She loved to cook.”

Other popular meals at Frank’s are the fresh specialty salads, including Apple Harvest Salad, and Cobb Salad. “We started these last Fall, and they just fly out the door! Tiffany will also make them on request, if she’s there.”

The Breakfast Pizza is another big hit! “Everybody loves it!” said Lisa.

“Thanks to Tiffany and Jess who make it fresh every morning, with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, sausage, and Hollandaise Sauce.”

“Tiffany is head cook, but all the staff help out, especially with sandwiches and baking.

Sometimes Tiffany will treat us to a special like Cheesecake.”

Freezer meal serving sizes are very generous: single meals serving 1-2 are $13.95; family size serving 4-6 are $24.95, or you can get a family deal for $29.99 which includes a Garlic Loaf and 2 litre pop of your choice.

The apron that Tiffany is wearing was made by her mum, Jude Symes—they are available at Frank’s Gift Shop, open Fridays & Saturdays from 10 am to 3 pm.

Hours will extend to six days a week come May 2.

Artists Playing On The Frontiers The show at the Village Gallery for the month of March celebrates three artists who are “playing on the frontiers”: Larry Macgregor, Gloria Lange and Karin Rosen. This is not an unusual place for artists to play.

Susan Sontag has said that one of the tasks of the artist is to take up positions on the frontiers of consciousness and report back. Artists find themselves on the edge of unexplored territory for a number of different reasons: the challenge, fresh perspective, or perhaps because it is a healing place to be.

Each of the artists showing their work at the Village Gallery in March has come to the frontier of their medium for a different reason: Larry Macgregor as a potter says he has never “only made pots”. In fact he turned down offers for residency in Banff and New York as a muralist in clay before setting up the Dandelion Studio on River Road…arguably the “back of beyond“, as far from most major cultural centres as one could get.

Gloria Lange, professor, tax consultant and business owner never considered making art. Recently, firmly believing that we throw away too much, she wondered if something pretty could be made out of her husband’s bright German magazines. She rolled up some pages

with her knitting needle and then coiled them. Eventually she decided to glue the coils on a board and had her first picture. It takes between three to six months for Gloria to make just one picture. She lives and works in Armstrong BC where she tries (she says) “without much success” - to get a handle on the unruly pictures currently in the making.

Karin Rosen has been painting all her life, however art was only a hobby till she retired. Having operated a successful gallery in Spain, Karin has experimented with a number of different media including jewelry and acrylics. After arriving in Canada however, she was faced with cancer. Discovering a new form for her work helped her cope with and recover from two rounds of cancer and the necessary treatments. She started with making drawings of pets in ink. It was a sudden success.

Not limiting herself to paper, Karin uses the surface of wood and skulls for each unique piece.

Only hanging til March 30th, this show is one you don’t want to miss. Come in and treat your eyes to the frontiers of creativity. The Village Gallery is open from 10 to 5 Monday to Saturday. Find us at 1975 Vernon Street, next to Tutor Tech.

Open House for Preview of Planned 60TH ANNUAL Upgrades to Pat Duke Memorial Arena BANQUET

The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) will be hosting an open house for upgrades coming to the Pat Duke Memorial Arena and is encouraging resident’s attendance.

In 2016, residents and arena users came together and initiated fundraising to help improve equity and accessibility of the Pat Duke Arena change room facilities. As a result of these efforts, the Pat Duke Arena won Kraft Hockeyville 2016, receiving $100,000 to put toward change room renovations.

In an effort to leverage this funding and undertake more significant and impactful renovations, a grant application was submitted to the Government of Canada, and the project was awarded an additional $2.56 million from the Federal Gas Tax Fund in 2018.

With the renovation and expansion concept plans now finalized, arena users and residents are being invited to view the conceptual illustrations and talk with the architects and user groups about the details and value of the improvements to come.

Update Your Bedroom With New Curtains And Bedding

Does your bedroom need an upgrade? Change the look of the room with new curtains and sheets. Here’s how to choose the perfect new linens for your room.

Curtains When selecting curtains, think about the look you want in the room and then find a fabric that corresponds. Linen and cotton blends are more casual and cheerful, while silk and velvet are refined and regal.

Next, think about the colour and pattern you’d like. You can match your curtains to the colour of the wall

How To Choose The Perfect Paint For Your Walls

Are you thinking of giving your walls ••A tiny paint chip isn’t enough to let a fresh coat of paint this spring?

••Once you’ve settled on the design of a room and chosen the furniture and accessories, take inspiration from a colour featured in a favourite area rug or throw. This will ensure your room looks pulled together.

••If you’re painting rooms that open into each other, make the transition seamless by choosing colours that are two or three shades apart on the same paint chip.

••Choose a neutral paint for rooms where something else is the focal point. Bold hues work best in rooms where every­thing else is understated.

and use pattern and texture to make them stand out. Alternatively, you could hang a multi-coloured pattern and make them a focal point.

Bedding You don’t need to match your bedding to your curtains but they should co-ordinate. You can pull a colour from the pattern on your curtains or use a contrasting colour. If you’d like to use different patterns for your curtains and bedding, stay in the same colour palette.

When buying your sheets, invest in high-quality, natural fabrics. Egyptian cotton is classic and comfortable, while silk feels luxurious and has the added bonus of being gentle on your hair and skin.

By changing the linens in your bed­room, you’ll wake up feeling like you’re some­where new.
