my eyes literally bugged out of my head! beee you tee full! I just spent the weekend sewing a lovely table overthrow & pillow set for in between uses. I am tired of showing off a lovely room with sheets on the table.... wanted a more 'together' look. That post was perfect timing. I have built-in wooden cabinetry under my table, so I never thought of a skirt, but now I am!thanks for the info & the inspiration.

Wow, I'm in agreement, these linens are beautiful.  I was dissapointed today when I called the company that they are out of stock for at least 8 weeks.  I was hoping they would have a storefront of some kind so I could check out the inventory and report back, but they're an internet/mail order only.  I requested the catalog though, I'm always interested in bringing my practice up a notch and these would certainly do that.  Thanks for the post.  Joe E.

Thanks, Joe! Bummer...they must have gotten quite a rush on their stock when they advertised in MTJ. Yes, wouldn't it be great if they had an exibit in a Massage and Spa trade show? I actually wrote to them suggesting it...would be nice to touch the sheets and see how they feel.Curious, thanks for your interest, sorry that icon isn't a little more clear. Its a work from Ingres, incorporating a couple motifs significant in my life. Here's a slight enlargement; I'm afraid its not much better, but could help to explain?

Its an angel, arms resting on a harp. There's a hand descending from the upper left corner, seeming to comfort. Isn't that what we mean to do for all? Personally, the angel reminds me of a blessing from a wonderful lady, who closed her eyes and with the most placid smile, said the massage made her feel "like she had dropped into the arms of an angel."Angels, then, aren't we? The Harp, a funny realization:I was massaging a musician, a member of Weird Al Yankovich's band. (Awesome, fun people). He told me he needed a deep vigorous massage before going on seforum.xxxe. I was trying to accomodate, but going along a la Enya speed. (This was my first celebrity band encounter, and I have to admit I was feeling a little shy)He had to urge, "Deeper!"  "Faster!"The room where I worked was just behind the seforum.xxxe. You could hear the crowd whistling and applauding, a sign that the curtains had opened. I don't remember which band was the opener, but suddenly the whole room vibrated with wild, intricately scaled energy, from the floor up. My hands came alive! *lol* possessed by the soul of the music! They glided, dug and flew with a life of their own.He yelled, "Yeah!!! YEAH!!! That's it!! That's IT!!"I was almost laughing! When he got off the table, he thanked me...said every nerve and sinew felt ALIVE.It made me think...we are musicians of a sort. The nervous system... our most delicate harp?And this board...the helpful hand...for the harpists that gather here. That is what we try to do for one another.Gina

Love the skirt. Thanks for the link.  Thanks for the angel explanation.  And would you tell us how you came up with Gutehands?

You are so welcome for all, JD! Thanks for posting.Gutehands? Okay. That's sort of a phonetic. And sort of my approach. I can hold up the stalwart, professionally detached "Massotherapist" persona as well as any...and can be "New Age" light for those who require it....but I also like the "hands on intense" of the old fashioned Swedish masseuse.The phonetic arrived when I was working on a Swede world traveler. Nice, but sort of intimidating person...he let me know he was massaged often, and by workers who grew up with massage...a deep part of their culture.I wondered if I could ever be "worthy"! But I didn't let doubt effect my best efforts...I worked deep on his back and I heard him bellow through the face cradle:"GUTE HANDS!!"*lol*Gi

 

[spinoff]

The lines are nice.   But where can I get that music???It's so soothing.  Tried Amazon.com and come up with nothing.  Any ideas? ???

Wow! You aren't kidding. I liked it, too...music by "Freedom to Float" is all I could see...put it through Google...and searched here:

http://www.newagemusic.com/

supposed to be number one resource...lots of interesting stock, but a search there brought no results.

You could always hit the contact page, and ask Robert for information about their music. I've no idea if it is something made specifically for the Comphy site, or if they are intending to promote for sale? There's a mention of the artist, so there's a chance they may be?

At least by mention you know they are out there.

There's a chance, if they ARE promoting it, that it will appear in the catalog. You could request one?

*lol* I even thought of the Musician's Union. Couldn't seem find a useable search feature that came up with any results...don't really know where to look. :-/

We've got some New Age music specialists around, perhaps they will come up with a better answer?

Table skirts creep me out. It's like, "What's under that table?"

 

[baba buttons]

Looks good... But you would probably need more skirts. Quite unsanitary if you left the same one up for every client....Just my thoughts. unless the skirt is connected to the fitted sheet... hard to tell from the picture.  :-/
