I LOVE the orange coral blanket! I've been trying to figure out a way to balance the orange in my living room and this is perfect, thank you!
I love this post, so cozy to look at!
Fabulous post! Makes me want to curl up by the fire right now :) I think I'm going to have to get my hands on one of those faux fur throws!
Nothing will ever beat the beautiful afghans my MIL created. Not the scratchy synthetics, but soft wools and cottons in natural tones. Every family member has a baby-sized and an adult-sized one given as graduation or wedding gifts.
I also love the orange coral blanket!
But I agree with mjs7640 that the handmade afghans are really the best.
and which one of these are machine washable? blankets only work for me if i can throw them in the washer with the sheets!
is anyone here in retail? i am looking for ideas on how to display throw blankets in a retail environment.
