Eiderdown Heaven...

Oh there's nothing better than curling up on the couch wrapped in a comfy Eiderdown. Someday, when I'm an old lady, I hope to have more eiderdowns than I know what to do with. I'm hoping my home looks something like this.

    The pictures are beautiful but I have no idea what Eiderdown is. Could you enlighten me please?

    Becky~ They're beautiful soft quilts/comforters, not so easy to come across in the U.S.

    ei·der·down [ dər dòwn ] (plural ei·der·downs)
    Definition:
    1. eider duck's feathers: the soft fluffy breast feathers of the female eider duck, used for stuffing pillows and bed coverings

    2. bed covering: a warm bed covering in the form of a quilt or duvet stuffed with feathers

    Interesting history info: http://www.google.com/search?q=history+of+eiderdown+comforter&hl=en&rlz=1B3GGIC_enUS304US304&sa=G&tbs=tl:1&tbo=1&ei=ccgqSuuQIofQswOn_MmsCw&oi=timeline_result&ct=title&resnum=11
