Ok, so I thought I was ready to admit that birds were for the, well, birds. But darn it, this new Vintage Bird Duvet Cover and Shams ($19 to $159) has me singing a different tune. I love the simple black line drawing-like print of the birds and trees on the creamy 230-thread count combed cotton fabric. The pattern is available in shams, duvet cover, and comforter, which comes in a choice of down or down-alternative batting. I am definitely tempted to put these on my wedding registry. There's only one thing holding me back: When the dog hops on the bed, I guarantee she'll leave her gray/black/brown fur on this in plain sight. Ah, a conundrum!
