Peace is all the rage lately!  Claire, pictured above, is the daughter of an employee here at Lakeside who just fell in love with her Peace Bedding Collection and she even thought her mom works at the coolest place ever!  Although the mom was hoping to be the coolest mom ever she is happy to know at least her job is totally cool.  Also very happy that the price started as low as $12.95 per set!  The Peace Bedding Collection is available to fit twin, full or queen size beds.   The comforter features a tie-dye look in a pattern of starbursts with peace signs in the center.   The sheet set has an all-over print of peace signs in shades of pink.   The Twin Comforter Set includes a 68″ x 86″ comforter and 1 matching sham.   The Full/Queen Comforter Set has an 86″ x 86″ comforter and 2 shams.   Each Sheet Set includes 1 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet and 2 pillowcases (1 for Twin).
