This is a nice little decorative pillow, designed by Thomas Paul, who apparently loves birds as much as I do. The outside is cotton (it unzips so you can wash it), and the inside is stuffed with feather down. It measures a little under one foot by two feet, and it would look great thrown on a chair or a bed.

I definitely need my bed to be covered in a bedspread of Russian nesting dolls. I like that it's made of lightweight cotton, because I have a hard time sleeping when I'm feeling hot. Even in the winter. And for more fun you can toss a couple of these on your bed...

I'm a big fan of this duvet set. It's covered with birds and flowers, which are reminiscent of a cool botany or zoology field guide. Plus, it's made of 320-thread-count cotton and comes with two matching shams.

This cute little throw pillow, which depicts a group of six birds, was designed by Eleanor Grosch, an illustrator from Philadelphia. I like how each bird is a different color or pattern, and that the pillow is sewn in the shape of the birds instead of a typical square.

I like the way this throw pillow looks, with its relaxing spectrum of swirling blues. It's made of soft feather down and covered in polyester.

$68.00, Chiasso

More riffs on Russian nesting dolls. This one's actually a throw pillow, and it's about 18 inches tall. They come in two styles, both with baby-doe eyes and babushkas.

Though the print on the outside is of a geranium, these pretty little sachets are filled with organic lavendar. You can tuck one of the four and a half inch squares into a drawer, your pillowcase, or any place else that needs a little freshening up.

Maybe this has to do with the fact that I just watched Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette the other night, but I'm really drawn to this decadent velvet pillow case. Like the film, it's mostly eye candy. (Unlike the film, you don't have to stare at it for two hours.)

$19.95, Wrapables

These sheets designed by In-Fusions have a fun design. And they feel good too. They're 100 percent cotton, with a 320 thread count.

This lap desk is perfect for those days when you have to work from home, but are too sick (or don't want) to get out of bed. Or it just can be a smooth surface on which to rest your snacks when you lie down to watch a movie. It even has a little cup holder.
