This sheet set is a birthday gift for my son's girlfriend. She is an artist, loves blue and like me realizes many choices in bedding are tired, too manufactured looking, lack color, repeat similar designs or prohibitively costly. She is also an animal lover and finds many sets immediately show fur from her feline family of 3. Id been eyeballing this distinctive set for quite some time for myself.  An excellent sale price with her birthday weeks away totally sealed the deal!
