Under The Cover Of Gold

When I saw the following article, all I could think was 'who would have such much money, yet so little brains to buy it.....' Yet another of the 'world's most expensive' titles has been bestowed - this time for sheets. Yep, bed linen.

A British-based company, Charlotte Thomas has created some sheets and pillowcases for the super-rich. Forget Egyptian cotton and thread count, this is way beyond such minutae.

The company recently launched a set of hand-made linen that features 22-carat gold sewn into merino fabric. Every piece is supported with an Indian silk jacquard and of course is 1000- thread Egyptian cotton.

The price of gold covered dreams? Well a pillowcase will set you back $2400.
