This is the perfect bedding set, June 22, 2005
This review is from: Vintage Teaberry 4 Piece Crib Set (Baby Product)
When I was pregnant with my daughter I looked at every bedding set on the market and when I saw this one in Babies R Us I fell in love with it. I had to have it. I can't tell you how beautiful it looks with dark wood furniture. The set up in Babies R Us had it with a white crib which really did not capture the soft colors. I washed it and it came out brand new. I put it on the crib and I love it even more. My baby lays in the crib and looks at the flowers on the bumper. This set is the perfect mix between girly and not over the top. I hate really baby looking things and I am so glad the this came out in time for my baby's arrival. I was able to find so many accesories at other stores that were much cheaper than the ones in Babies R Us like the wall art and lamp. I found a lamp in Target from the Shabby Chic line that matched so perfectly. The only other things that I purchased were the pillow for my Glider Rocker, the basket with the striped liner and the pink frame.

Shabby Chic for Babies, June 17, 2005
This review is from: Vintage Teaberry 4 Piece Crib Set (Baby Product)
I absolutley love this bedding set. With the birth of my first daughter five years ago the only choices you had for bedding sets were very babish. What I like about this set and the accessories is that it grows with your child for several years to come. Even better, I have found the teaberry floral fabric used in this set at one of my local fabric stores. I have recovered my glider rocker and made several other wall hangings to coordinate with this set. I also found a knock off of the lamp at a local discount store for $20 bucks less, the only difference is mine is 4 inches taller. The fabric quality is great, I'm not sure why other people think that it is not. I really like the fact that you can remove the padding from the bumper pads and just wash the cover, that way the padding dosen't get all messed up in the washer. I gave it four stars because I did not like the leopard look that some of the accessories come in that goes with this bedding set. It is also a little pricey at $300 but we still had our furnuiture from our first daugther so I splurged on this.

I love it and will use it again!, February 23, 2005
This review is from: Vintage Teaberry 4 Piece Crib Set (Baby Product)
First let me say that the pictures on Amazon's site are not very good at showing the true colors of this set. Mine appears a lot more pink (the flowers) and the sage is a lot deeper (like licheny-moss) and more green than the pictures show. It does also have a vintage tea-stained look to it. It is NOT fru-fru baby, but a more subtle shabby chic baby style.
I also can tell you that the floral fabric is a decorator weight cotton. That means it is suitable for both drapery and upholstery projects. It is NOT a cushy-t-shirt feel, but rather a durable (almost canvas feel).
All of that being said, I must include that I love this set. I bought it before Wendy made it exclusively for Babies-r-us; and I have shopped for matching pieces ever since. The quality is good, and the prices offered here are excellent (compared to independant designer prices). I have washed and dried the whole set repeatedly, and have found it to be well made. The ties for the bumper are extra wide, and aren't as apt to come loose as the little ribbon-type. I did notice wrinkling when I first bought it, but upon washing and drying, I had no problems (I put it on the crib promptly after drying each time).
If you can see it in person before buying it, I recommend that you do so. I have been very pleased with the set, and have previously purchased additional pieces elsewhere- to decorate my oldest daughter's room. It is my opinion that this collection (the flowers, velvet, leopard, etc) would even look good in an adult's room. I would recommend this set.
