I love the pattern. When I was pregnant I used to salivate over Dwell Baby stuff. Sadly, I never bought from them.

I live in LA and had heard about the sale from a number of baby/decor blogs. I was completely bummed that it was only in New York. Fortunately for me, an awesome friend was going to visit her family in Manhattan and do some shopping in SOHO. She totally came through for me, buying not only the forest bedding for my daughter’s crib (I could never have afforded it full price), but also the twin alphabet set for my son. Dwell sent her to a FedEx around the block and the sheets are now on beds on the west coast.

I wasn’t very excited by the comforter (the linen was really stiff) and infants so rarely use them. So I carefully took it apart and I’m making the dot side into a sheet saver and I’ll probably use the linen for a pillow to put in the Eames rocker I bought with my savings.

Don’t discount garage sales for cribs. You just need to make sure that the thing is safe in terms of the space between the slats, mattress & walls, etc.

Do you have a Mothers of Twins club in your area? I got some good pieces years ago from MOT members who were trying to off-load double everything, once their babies were older.
