On the bed in the guest cabin at Eddie & Sharyn’s place were Nick & Nora Flamingos on Ice sheets, and sleeping in them reminded me just how much I love this company. Like everyone else, I had their Cloud 9 sheet set on my college dorm room bed…and I’m thinking of returning to the look one of these days.

I’ve been wearing Nick & Nora pajamas since I was about fourteen. They don’t hold up all that well (the buttons tend to fall off), but when they’re this cute and affordable ($19.99 at Target), who cares? There are billions of adorable patterns to choose from: I like the classic Cloud 9 the best, but Starry Night and Blue Fishing Ducks run a close second…and, for the bride-to-be or newlywed, Love and Marriage.
