Where can I find \link{http://ww2.potterybarnkids.com/index.cfm?cid=romnurtoi&area=rms&age=\this kind} of cot bedding in the UK? I'd really like toile print in either a soft pink or green but would be happy with anything subtle that wasn't covered in Winnie the Pooh, animals, bright flowers, etc.

have you tried your nearest John Lewis store. They are usually good for this sort of thing.

try the baby boutiques near you, they often stock more subtle lines (at much higher pricesWink)

Think toile de Jouey cot bedding might be a bit sphicticated for UK tastes - you may do better on a French site. Did have one bookmarked that did exquisite toile pyjamas etc but it was so expensive I ditched it. Someone else willr ecognise it I'm sure - you know, has gorgeous cashmere jumpers for teenagers that cost as much as a small car...

I tend to go for cheap stuff in plain colours, but patterned does show the sicky stains less...
Argos do some neutral-ish \link{http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=4501&langId=-1&searchTerms=bedding+bale&go.x=0&go.y=0\bedding bales} that are meant to co-ordinate with their character ranges, but you needn't buy the character bits!

(I can spell sophisticated really)

Have tried John Lewis but couldn't find anything aside from one plain cream set which is the top pick at the moment.

Hadn't thought of a French site but will give it a go. Have always dreamed of a toile print in the nursery and this will probably be my last chance! Might end up ordering the American set and wait for sister to bring it over this summer. Not sure she would be thrilled about me taking up so much of her luggage though. Smile

Meant to say, La Redoute are pretty good for plain stuff too, and some of their printed things are quite subtle (particuarly like the coffee-coloured set with red rocking horse motif) but others are a bit garish.

It's a shame Pottery Barn don't ship internationally - do you have any friends in the US whose address you could use?

Some pink toile stuff has also turned up on \link{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/13015441/002-0564669-3689667\Babies R Us} at Amazon, but not sure on the UK delivery possibilties.

(NB like the idea of toile wallpaper and/or curtains - much easier to source - and crisp white/cream bedding)

Thanks for that link MrsBadger, I'm following that lead now...
