Not only do Point Reyes locals love Coyuchi, many luxury hotels feature the 100% organic bedding. You’ll find the fair trade linens at hotels and resorts including: the Post Ranch Inn, Hana Maui Hotel, Terra Resorts, Colony Hotel and Hotel Triton. The Fairmont in San Francisco and Washington DC feature Coyuchi in their Lexus Hybrid Living Suites.

Coyuchi uses only 100% certified organic cotton in their linens and has been recognized with the United Nations Second Annual Fashion Industry Award for Environmental Excellence. Every fiber of cotton is produced in accordance set forth by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM). Organic cotton is grown rotationally and alongside maize, sesame, sorghum and chiles intercropped with nitrogen-fixing plants such as lentils and chickpeas. Some of these plates serve as barriers and repel pests.

If you happen to be around Point Reyes tonight, stop by the Coyuchi store to learn more about their sustainable business and fair trade business and enjoy some champagne and organic hors d’oeuvres!

West Elm has sales all the time; I try to check out the discounted merch every couple of weeks, and generally avoid the “HUGE SALE” e-mails that arrive in my inbox, because inevitably all the good stuff is already gone.

Here’s what I’m ogling today:

1.  Wood Wedges (honestly, these ledges couldn’t look more adorable in a kid’s room, and for $9.99, you can get them in multiples); 2.  Lutz & Patmos Zigzag Throw (these are yummy soft, and worth stashing in the closet for next year’s holiday gifts); 3.  Uneven Squares Quilt and Shams (simplicity at its best, made even better at 50% off); 4.  Quilted Wingback Headboard (if you sleep in a California King–lucky!–this regal bed is a steal);  5.  Upholstered Bed Frame and Headboard (for the rest of us plebes, this headboard comes in smaller sizes and still ups the nighttime reading comfy factor); 6.  Rope Candleholders (just look at them…do they need commentary?); 7.  Wall-Mount Pendant (I love how these make a grand statement, for $69.99); 8.  Abaca Pendant Lamp (summer, at 82% off); 9.  Square Metal Sofa; 10.  Water Hyacinth Pillows (I dare you to show me a house these wouldn’t look great it); 11.  Beach Club Floral Print Pillow (as a rule, I buy anything that has “beach club” in its name); 12.  Sydney Bar (I’m totally putting this inside my house, but I live in Florida, so hopefully all will be forgiven).

As of this post’s publication, some version of the above items was in stock, although it probably won’t be for long.

Run, run, run to the cb2 sale; lots of goodies have been marked down, often deeply.  Such as the curve cooler glasses (only 95¢ each, marked down from $3.95!),  perfect for the casual cocktail, or the peekaboo umbrella holder (62% off), which would clearly be chic in any foyer.    I’ve got my own eye on the Gemini bed,  whose dual (duel?) headboards are perfect for the warring factions (names omitted to preserve domestic tranquility) that often bunk in our guest room.

Because no one should have to suffer in boring sheets, Sin in Linen and I would like to dress you up in our love:  make a comment below, telling us in 10 words or less why you deserve new sheets (entries over ten words will be disqualified, so choose your words carefully).  This giveaway is about sin, not sadness, so err on the side of witty to win.  We’ll award the reader who makes our favorite comment a set of Rock Your Kasbah linens, including quilt, pillowcases, and curtains.

the fine print:

Comments will be closed and entries will not be accepted after 11:59 pm EST on Saturday, January 3, 2009.  The winner will be selected on Sunday, January 4, 2009, and notified by e-mail.  Results of the giveaway will be announced on Monday, January 5, 2009.  Multiple entries will not be accepted.  Misosouper, a shopping blog reserves the right to disqualify entries that are incomplete, or considered spam.

Is there a more affectionate term of endearment?

Yes, you could just write out twelve ways you made a difference in a plain journal; but if it were that easy, wouldn’t you already have done it?

Make a wish.  Make it count.
