Thanksgiving Table Ideas

Things get so busy during the Thanksgiving holidays.  Especially for those of us here in Louisiana who are Tiger Fans.  This is a very busy time of the year.  We will celebrate Turkey day on Thursday then get fired up for the big Arkansas game on Friday.   With all of this going on anything that will make setting the table easier is a plus.    Here are a few items that we have at ld linens & decor.







*Above are our Vintage "Don't Forget to Say Grace!" Table runners.  Great for any holiday table.  Plus, we all need to remember to say Grace and give Grace during this holiday season.

*The Blue Floral Paper Placemats are a pretty addition to the table and easy to toss when done.  Some brands we have in stock are made with recycled paper.  We have several designs to choose from.

One of our paper place mats, bird salt holders, and pretty shell cork stoppers.  All of these are great hostess gifts.

The beauty of these shell stoppers is the cork screws on/off so you can replace it if it breaks!

These are kitchen papers that can be added to any platter or dish.   They look great on cheese boards.

This is an ld designs original platter in honor of the great state of Louisiana.  Another great hostess gift.

We have lots of new holiday items coming in daily.  Stop by this week.  We will be open from 10-5 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday.  12-4 on Sunday.  We will be close on Friday for Game Day!

Cheers!

My Bed! My Biscuit!

I call my bed "The Biscuit."  Getting between two soft sheets and snuggling is like opening the center of the biscuit with the soft warm center....  The sheets have to be cool, soft, and typically white.  I am a little freaky about sheets and no, I don't think you have to spend hundreds on them.  I am a bargain shopper so look high and low for a good quality sheet.  It must not ball or have a weird texture to it.   I recently have a love for Bamboo sheets, for you ladies that sweat at night, they are wonderful.  I carry a line by Kassatex in my store.  I wanted to test them out before selling them, so have been sleeping on them for the last two months. I also wanted to make sure they wash and dry well.  I love them and they come in great colors.   Bamboo is a natural fabric and  "they say"  it is temperature regulated.  If you are hot it allows you to breath and if cold keeps you warm.  I  have noticed that I don't sweat as much,  nice thoughts, that is what getting older brings on.

I also love my  LD All In One bedding line.  Other companies offer a similar product, but no one can customize it like we do.  We offer a ruffle drop, double ruffle drop, box pleat drop,  straight drop....etc.  We can make it in silk, velvet, heavy cotton, linen, and a soft polished cotton.  All of our linens and cottons come pre washed.  Custom drop sizes  are a must today with the different shapes and sizes of beds and mattresses.  I have included a few pictures of our beds.

If you are here in Louisiana, please enjoy the nice cool weather!

Shower Curtains

My love of shower curtains and trying to find a long, tall one began way back in the 90's.  Here are a few of my recent designs.   Some of the styles below were featured in this months "House and Home." 

"LuLu" Style 74x90 with a 3 Tiered Ruffle

"PHOEBE" 74x90 White Cotton/Khaki Linen

The evolution of my shower curtain designs....it all began when I starting flying for Delta in 1990 and moved to Dallas.  I was trying to decorate my condo and wanted something taller.  My idea at the time was a 74x108 rectangle table cloth.  I folded it over to make a valance and then pinned it using those drape clamp hooks.  In those days  there wasn't anything ready made that was over 72"  and there isn't now except for those we try to keep in stock at ld.  Here are a few of our styles.  We have some in stock and we can custom design with other fabrics.  Check out the month's "House and Home" magazine featuring our shower curtain designs.

Our New Patterns in our "ld' designs.  

Enjoy the pretty day!  Geaux Tigers!
