Im redecorating my home and i was thinking about getting silk sheets, Ive used basic cotton sheets all my life and i wanted to try somthing new but i dont want to spend all that money on silk and then find them uncomfortable. So tell me does silk realy live up to its expectations?

I have a skin condition that only allows me to sleep on leather, silk or something without dustmites. I want to spend some money on an RV rather then living in Apts., but I need a waterbed. Currently I have to sleep on a leather couch because I don’t know exactly what I can do in an RV. So my question is can you place a waterbed inside an RV to sleep in rather then its usual bedding. Thanks!!

What would you think if for Christmas you got handmade jewelry?
I am a usually broke teenager who wants to save money. I can make my own jewelry out of wire, silk string, and beads. I can make pretty much anything. Would jewelry be a good gift? Not anything cheap: I would use vintage beads, Czech glass and Swarovski crystals.

Would that be a bad gift or something you wouldn’t want? I’m asking so I can determine whether or not to make that for gifts for all my (girl) friends this year.

I know red silk flowers make the water they’re submerged in pink or red if they’re in for an extended amount of time… what about green silk flowers or white?

I’m trying to save money for my wedding centerpieces.
Thanks!

I’m getting married in December and my colors are red and black, I am having difficulties finding silk black (also known as deep purple) calla lilies, it kills me to spend a lot of money on fresh flowers that will die the next day!!
If you are going to be rude about my choice of using silk flowers please dont post. I’m asking for information on where to find flowers not for you to judge about my choices.

lining my closets with the thin veneer rolls of cedar that are sold to line dresser drawers?

I live in a place where the moth & their eggs are rampant. I don’t have the $$ to actually have my three closets lined with cut cedar and i want to use the veneer if it will work. If it won’t i don’t want to waste the money.

Any other ideas about how to keep the moth eggs & larvae off my fabrics? I’ve lost vintage berets and silk items.

Thanks for helping.

I’m getting married in mid-October. Working with a REALLY limited budget(almost everything goes to living expenses), I’m hunting pre-owned wedding dress sites, as well as eBay. I know what kind of gown I dream of, but I know that might have to remain a dream. Real vintage dresses won’t fit my shape. I found one that works, and they’ll let me put it on layaway, but it’s the wrong color. They said to find out if it can be dyed to an antique ivory with tea.
I looked at the dresses on David’s site. I didn’t see one that I liked. I also spoke to one of their seamstresses in my home town, and she was so rude I decided I’d rather get married in a t-shirt and jeans than give them my money. But I appreciate the suggestions alot. That tea-dyeing page is great!
Thank you for the advice.Like I said, I’m on a serious budget. Yes, I check Goodwill and every other thrift store I can find. But I live in Vegas. Most bride here are on limited budgets(the recession’s hit htis town HARD). In addition, we’ve got out-of-town brides scouring the city with great enthusiasm, and they aren’t stuck with public transportation! I’m kind of set on an antique ivory gown, so natural fibers are something that I’m reluctant to give up on.

Is anyone doing there own decor for the wedding? I am trying to save money by doing my own decorating but don’t know where to start. Also is anyone using silk flowers for all there floral needs?

Have you seen any that look really good or really bad? I am seriously considering using fake flowers to save money, but I don’t want them to look tacky. I do understand that sometimes silk flowers can be as expensive as real, but I have that part covered.
