3 sheets to the wind

A while back I did a post about my three sets of bed sheets (here it is for reference).
All of a sudden I found myself with all sets being incomplete.
How? Sheer stupidity.
I have a washer/dryer in my apartment (a blessing for sure), but I tend to wash the sheets and duvets in the bigger machines down in the basement of my building. Careless fool that I am, I've lost a couple of pillow cases in the last few weeks by forgetting them in the machines downstairs. I guess I don't check well enough after I do a load. Therefore, two sets of linens were missing pieces.
As if that weren't enough, I woke up last week to find the fitted sheet I was sleeping on had a big rip down the center. Either I had a very bad nightmare or I was tossing and turning something fierce that night...or both. In any event, that was now three sets of incomplete sheets. Ugh.
I texted my friend Doris to see if she wanted to drive out to IKEA this week. She's got a car and she loves company on her shopping sojourns out to Paramus. There's a BJ's, a Home Goods, and a Target too.
Off we went.
I got 3 new sets of pillow cases to coordinate with the duvets and fitted sheets I already had AND a new fitted sheet to replace the torn one. All for a very affordable price.

For the record, the cotton IKEA sheets are pretty good, nice and thick. They've improved the quality of their white goods considerably.
Here's the new pillow cases that coordinate with the IKEA duvet and fitted sheet I already had, they're a dark charcoal gray.

Here's the new black pillowcases to coordinate with the small Chines print duvet I bought in Hong Kong.
