Sweet dreams are made of these: handmade summer quilts
Oh, hello there, Summer! Long time no see. The weather is warmer, the kids are sweatier, and it's time to pull out the summertime linens. Or, um, it might be that time if I were the kind of person who's organized enough to have summer linens. And if I were? Well, CMP fave OM Home would be making an appearance on every bed in my house. Serious loveliness. And a special discount for CMP readers!

{Don't miss the exclusive 20% off CMP sale code after the jump!}

OM Home has expanded its line of amazing crib-sized Handmade Kantha Quilts to include twin, queen and king. These quilts are a perfect option for year-round sunny climes and an especially gorgeous seasonal treat for those who've made it to warm weather after long winters. Of course, I'd be inclined to keep these breezy, bright beauties on the beds as long as I could. They're perfection for when the weather is too hot for a duvet, but you're still in need of lightweight coverage for chillier nights.  

These quilts just get softer and comfier with every wash. (Yup, they're washable.) And the very best part? They're handmade by a collective in India, where women are paid fair wages for their work--almost triple what they would earn in the local market. These women earn and spend money on their own terms--some for the first time in their lives--and are able to purchase necessities for their families such as eyeglasses and school uniforms. With a story like that? These quilts will definitely encourage sweet dreams, at home and far away. -Stephanie S. Switch up your linens this summer with handmade quilts from OM Home. And right now use discount code CMP20 for 20% off quilts AND PJs! Expires July 10, 2013.
