I am a material girl ... live in a material world

Hmmmm.... I just got an email from West Elm: "We're sorry, the sheets that were backordered until today are now backordered until October 21. Also, our website says they won't be available until November 15." Well, West Elm, I'm going to look elsewhere for better, cheaper sheets. Even though these sheet look AMazing. Have a look:
Organic Striped Sheet Set from West Elm
The lesson here is ongoing and two-fold: Material disappointments should not influence my mood in general, and sheets are sheets.  At least that is what my more sensible side is saying. The problem remains that I want a kick-A bed and grey/white striped sheets are surprisingly hard to find. So, do I abandon the dream sheets for a second-pick mediocre set? Or do I wait for (possibly) two months for the sheets I think I want, but haven't actually seen or felt? Decisions, decisions.
