Basically White

When we receive all the new spring introductions, we also cast our attention to our basic bedding introductions. Replacing darker looks with crisp lights makes everything look better and feel fresh. For this year in particular, we believe it is important to add a few new and affordable basics to your linen closet. We have layered on two new looks to our assortment. Shown here is an airy matelasse with a large over-under pattern. Made of 100% Egyptian cotton, we stock white, ivory and truffle colors in both queen and king coverlets and shams. We suggest teaming these items up with a new set of cool crisp sheets. Both of these items are classic in style as well as functionality and will last for many spring seasons. Mix them up with a splash of color or keep them pure and simple.

As the clouds are drifting away and the sun will soon come streaming in your bedroom window, come in and pick up a set (or two).

New Aluminum Serving Ware.

We just unpacked the new spring shipment of Mariposa serving ware and it is blooming aluminum in the store! It is just so hard to decide which piece is the best. Because it is spring, we believe the new bamboo collection shown here is apropos. Sophisticated, yet functional, these two serving pieces should be the charming complement to enhance your alfresco meal. These hand crafted serving pieces exceed FDA requirements for food safety and are made of 100% recycled aluminum. They are perfect for outdoor entertaining because they hold a chill. Appetizers anyone?

Bling for Spring

While we are still on the subject of spring; we have to mention some new napkin rings that have arrived in the store. Simple, yet stunning, we think if you can't afford the real deal you might has well have fun with the paste. Think how fabulous these would be for the engagement party or wedding table. Of course, you can find hundreds of different styles of napkins and place mats to coordinate with these little gems. Just look in our linen room at the store to see what strikes your fancy.

Papillon from Schlossberg

New spring merchandise is arriving every day! The crazy winter weather has us longing for bright florals and lighter neutral palettes. We have found the perfect print to reflect our spring sentiments. This, oh so lovely, papillon pattern from Schlossberg of Switzerland is made of the lightest and finest of pima cottons. The detailed pattern of floral sprays and graceful butterflies is created from 12 detailed colored screens layered with precision, creating an almost photographic quality print. It is truely one of the most lovely patterns we have seen. It is available by special order now and will be stocked in the store in April. Let spring begin!

Finally I am ready to Blog

It took us almost a year to get it together. Last year Christina Lynn merged with Table Top Shop. There was the closing of the original Christina Lynn Store: Half the merchandise was put in storage, a small selection of bed and bath linens was put in the Table Top Seattle store and the balance was sold in one of the best sales in the history of either Christina Lynn and Table Top Shop. Then we (the two stores as one) remodeled the original Bellevue Store at 1105 Bellevue Way. Finally in August 2008 we moved back into the beautiful new store and got back to business. It has been a lot of work, taken much more time than we anticipated, but we are here and we can focus on the things we love to do. We have the largest selection of fine bed, bath and table lines in the Seattle greater area.
