I had been eyeing the matching sheet sets for quite a while and figured I'd try the pillowcases first before taking the plunge. The seafoam color is absolutely beautiful ~ a very soft, pale green and compliments my bedroom decor nicely, not to mention how soft the linen material feels! I had purchased a set of Belgian linen sheets from another company a year ago and although they are very nice, even after multiple washings over the past year they are not nearly as soft as these linen cases are. I'm just thrilled with my purchase, so much so that I went back and purchased the sheet set and couldn't be happier!
