I saw some quilts at Target that were similar style to what you have here. Probably not the same quality but they are probably $50-80.
Vacations are fun. We are planning one to Las Vegas in June.

$149 is a bit much. Good decision.

That's so cool that you're going to Tokyo and Singapore. I know it's for work, but still... how cool. I used to travel for work and I visited places like Mason, Texas - "population just plain good folks!" Tokyo and Singapore -- color me jealous.

Cool that you're headed to Tokyo and Singapore. I can't wait to hear how that goes! Best of luck on your trip.

Have you looked at Company Kids? I think the website is companykids.com. They have some neat coordinated bedding that's not quite as bad as PBKids in terms of price and is good quality. My son has the construction truck theme- but now he's outgrowing it and we'll probably have to redo it sometime in the next few years.

Travel plans sound cool- we stayed at the El Tovar when we went to the Canyon- we're not quite the adventurous camping types, although it would be fun to try once or twice.

Jetsetter Tricia- Going from La Jolla (did I tell you that is my favorite vacation spot) to Tokyo and Singapore to the Grand Canyon. Lots of fun plans coming up! Good luck on getting the bedding you want. Bedding is always more expensive than it looks like it should be! But it can be SO cute too!

Wow thats alot of travel! DH has been to singapore and loved it. And Tokyo has a great love of knitting, so if you see a yarn store, drool at it for me!

Cool on the camping thing...DH and I used to go all the time when we were first married. We actually planned a trip for summer, but my personal situation is delaying things...probably will go upstate NY..camping is very romantic!!

Neat that you're looking at furniture and bedding! I love Pottery Barn but can never decide on anything. I also hate shopping around, so if I can see something pretty in a catalog then it's much easier. =) I ordered my daughter's quilt from Company Kids (above) and the price was comparable to PB. But it was a patchwork of pinks, yellows and some greens. It's pretty, and it has been through the wash about 10 times already with no loose threads. It has shrunk a little. I ordered C's quilt from PB just lately... the one with the trains and puppy dogs. It was too cute to pass up, and I'd been shopping for it for a year and a half so that justified the cost (again $149ish). I really like it, and it comes a little larger so that when washed the shrinking (which was minimal) doesn't affect how it covers the bed. For girls... I loved the top quilt with the pink and the bright flowers! Pinks and purples are always safe color choices. Sometimes if you look at PB and Company Kids sites for sales and closeouts you can find better deals, but I've found that if there's something you really like, snap it up at full cost because chances are everyone else will too and there won't be any left for the sale price.

If Joshua Tree is supposed to be 108 then how hot is the grand canyon? I would love to camp there sometime. How fun!!! Tell us all about it when you get back.

Can I go with you?! I had so much fun travelling to Moscow that now I want to keep travelling. I used to travel a lot in my former companies. But, now that I am at home. I travel to school and target :) Sounds like a good weekend and vacations coming up!. Good for you...sounds like work is keeping you very busy. I do hope you are finding some time for yourself.

Take care and hope to talk to you soon!
