April 20th, 2007 - Happy 5th Birthday Plumeria Bay!

February 23rd, 2007 - The new year is off to a great start! Plumeria Bay® has a brand new look and has been completely redesigned from the ground up to make your shopping even easier and more convenient. Many of these changes were made based upon your comments; we really do listen, so please let us know if there is a feature that you'd like to see.

July 30th, 2006 - Our move is complete and we've also finished a major upgrade to our store functionality. Enhancements for registered customers include the ability to view your order history, print invoices and more. We have more plans in the works so stay tuned!

April 20th, 2006 - Happy 4th Birthday Plumeria Bay! Today marks our 4th full year in business and we're marking the start of our 5th year with a significant milepost. We're a newly authorized retailed for Sferra Bro's, one of the finest manufactures of bed linens in the world. You can see our carefully selected collection of Sferra Bro's bed linens and duvet covers here.

April 8th, 2006 - Spring is here again! Time to store your down comforter? Just remember to store your comforter in a very dry environment, covered in a breathable fabric (the bag your Plumeria Bay down comforter and pillow came in is perfect to store them in), to keep your comforter clean and protected from dust, etc. Store your comforter loosely, so that the down can breath. We do not recommend packing it in plastic, or storing it in one of those vacuum space saver storage bags.

For this Spring, we are proud to announce that have added a line of wonderful cashmere and cotton blankets and baby blankets from the renowned Italian maker, Sferra Bro's. We will soon be adding a selection of fine bed linens and duvet covers from this fine manufacturer.

Oct. 15th, 2005 - Pile on the down comforters! (John R. Crane, Cortez Journal - Cortez CO). This article is representative of what we're all seeing in the news. Heating costs are expected to rise significantly this winter. You can save money on your monthly heating bills by turning down the thermostat and sleeping with one of our quality down comforters.

Oct. 13th, 2005 - Who would've thought that videos of down pillows could be so exciting! Well, O.K., maybe watching a down pillow getting squished is not as thrilling as watching "The Terminator", but you can see the difference between a soft 650 fill down pillow and a soft 750 fill down pillow. We hope you like this new feature.

July 18th, 2005 - When most people think of camping, they think of cramped sleeping bags and leaky air mattresses. Not us! We rough it in style, with down comforters and a featherbed.

June 8th, 2005 - "The Myth of Siberian Goose Down" I am often asked about our goose down, where it comes from, how it's cleaned, etc. All good questions from smart conscientious shoppers. Often, during the course of this conversation, I'm asked "What About Siberian Goose Down?" It's then that I usually find myself laughing and then apologizing (it's not polite to laugh at a sincere question)

June 7th, 2005 - This last month has been hectic, but full of progress! We are now an authorized retailer for Schlossberg - Bonjour of Switzerland and are also proud to represent St. Geneve. Schlossberg-Bonjour is a Swiss maker of fine bed linens, and St. Geneve make the finest eiderdown bedding in the world! Plumeria Bay has seen still more improvements, making it even easier for you to find just the right comforter and pillows. This has been our best Spring ever, so we'd like to say take this opportunity to take a big breath and say.... Thank You!

May 4th, 2005 - Coming soon - We will be offering fine bed linens and duvet covers from St. Geneve and Bonjour of Switzerland.

March 22, 2005 - As part of Plumeria Bay's recent site upgrade, we have also upgraded our server platform. The new servers will provide much faster speeds, especially in the resource intensive secure shopping cart. We have seen a dramatic performance increase.

Please let us know what you think about our new look and feel, especially if you have any difficulties or find something that doesn't work.

We will be doing some "fine tuning" over the next few days.
