Blue and white porcelain has been an inspiration for beautiful textiles for hundreds of years and every generation finds a way to make that inspiration look new and fresh. Laura Ashley's Charlotte ensemble proves the timeless appeal of this look for the 21st century bedroom. The centerpiece of the collection is an elegant ""tree of life"" print that appears on the standard shams and comforter where it is framed by an intricate double border pieced on the outer edges. Sheets are an elegant white on white damask and embroidered European shams and decorative pillows add interest and decorator style.
