juliajayne asks: what do i call end tables and pillow shams?
welllllll, here is the truth.
i don't have words for them, because they have never existed in my life.
i suppose people have these things in their homes....i've never actually noticed.
i guess if i saw an end table, i'd think of it as a sofa table. or a lamp table.
or just.....a little table.
are they different to occasional tables? i am not even sure what those are either.
o dear.
i've got a brass tray-topped indian folding table (many years ago, a friend of my mum's was throwing it out, and mum offered it to me and i liked it enough to take it and keep it all this time) and a big teak chest and that is what we use for a coffee table and a place to put a vase of flowers or some candles.
as for pillow shams.....nope.
it's either a normal pillowcase, or it doesn't exist in my world, lol.
and what's up with pillowcases that don't have a fold in them? to tuck the pillow in and cover it properly? i mean, how cheap is that, to scrimp on a small piece of fabric that size?
total hijack, sorry.
