I'd love to cuddle up to that...
I want it!
Oooh, perfect on the couch with a cup of tea. Plus, if I had that, it would give me a good excuse to get rid of my boyfriend's old (read: stuffing falling out of) red and black, fake chinese comforter from college. I imagine this one smells better too. ;)
Looks so cozy!
Oooh! That looks so warm. How a-maize-ing!
(Oh, that was bad.)
In this MAIZE of holiday shopping, my EARS are cold, my HAIR is SILKY, and aw SHUCKS, that blanket looks cozy!
that's an a-Maizing blanket I'd love to snuggle up to it.
Don't blame me, you asked for corny.
Trying to make a kernel/cuddle joke, but it's just not working out...
MUCH better than ethanol!
now people can say I am a warm person...:)
mmm...would take me back to warmer days of EATING corn, not curling up under it!
perfect winter white!
I love blankets! Me please!
I'm so cold I cant think of a corny comment. Help me!
cozy.
Since most Americans can be considered "corn people" at least according to Michael Pollan, this would be an appropriate throw for anyone.
Viva la corn blankets! If you get too toasty, does it turn into a popcorn blanket?
Cozy, green and fantastic - almost like kermit the frog!
haha...corny...
love how cozy it looks
looks soft as corn silk
Cozy, cozy
Ooh man.. so pretty!
As a textile student I am impressed with the corn yarn. Would love to feel this in person - hopefully I will be able to! That blanket needs some cuddling.
A luxurious throw would be a great replacement for our old cheap fleece one.
sign me up, thanks!
lovely
If you came over to my un-insulated house, and experienced my attempts to be "green" and frugal by keeping the heat down, you would give me as many throws as you could. We're COLD.
Hmm...can you wash corn?
it's a maize ing
if my mom saw it....she might steal it.....so something i'd have to put away.
Hmmm.... perfect for snuggling up with popcorn.
Well, it's cold and rainy out today. I sure do wish I was cuddled up on my couch with this blanket and a book instead of staring at my cold computer screen. The color is the perfect anecdote for this grey day.
I am obsessed with comfy soft throws
I don't know how anything could top my 44.99 Ikea throws, but this one does it.
I'd snuggle up with that one!
that looks so soft
i could snuggle with the kitty under that
I live in Buffalo, NY...I need that blanket to get me through all the upcoming snowstorms!!!
I live in Minnesota. It's cold here (therefore I am cold) and we have lots of corn so it would fit right in!
please...
I wonder how they turn the corn into fabric.
oh wow i love that color!
Gorgeous!
That is beautiful!
Book, fire, blanket, perfect.
This looks so cozy!
I'm expecting a new baby in a couple of weeks and it would a perfect tree gazing cozy-up for us!
Habito a Boston, dove fa molto freddo. Ho bisogno di questa coltre di mais!
Re: washing corn.
Yes. Corn (and soy, bamboo, ramie, pine, Chitin, seacell, etc are all derived from sources (in this case: soy byproduct, bamboo, ramie, shrimp and crab shells left over, seaweed).
They can all be hand washed, lay them out to dry. You could dry clean them I supposed, but that would probably defeat the purpose of buying a "green" blanket.
A person could cuddle up with this corn blanket, and watch Field of Dreams. Just ffwd through the part where the cor field gets plowed under.
This looks a lot like a beautiful throw that I was given as a wedding present that got destroyed by nesting mice. It would be an a-maize-ing replacement for that... (yes, I actually typed that...)
Too late - the corny ideas I had have already been used. Hoping this is a random prize.
This blanket would be great when it dips below 70 in LA!
I need this, but my brother needs it more. Please make my xmas shopping easy this year.
Gorgeous, just gorgeous. Especially now that it looks like there's a snowstorm coming!
I find it's really nice to have a variety of blankets to cuddle up with on the sofa... even if the house is a good temperature, it just feels cozier with a blanket over your lap. Especially when you wake up and it's 0 degrees outside (like today)!
That probably would keep my EARS warm.
(Do I get extra credit for living in Indiana, where we grow lots of corn?)
A blankie for grown-ups!
Pretty!
It would be lovely to snuggle up with this blanket, a good book, and a spot of tea.
Viva la terra!
just what i need! my apartment is freezing right now...
I wish I had this blanket right now. My office is freezing!
i can't beat tinychoice's corny comment... but this throw would look awesome draped on our whiskey-leather sofa! (and draped on ourselves in this chicago weather)
What was the ear of corn's rank after it enlisted in the Army?
Colonel!
cozy
Oh Apartment Therapy, how I love thee. You are perfect in every way. You are the butter on my sliced bread.
(Corny enough)?
A lovely gift for my mum.
I'm from Iowa, so I dig the corn. :) Always remember when times are tough and you're freezing during an Iowa winter that "Corn Is Painless" (saying that came about among my friends). Anyway, this blanket looks cozy!
Mmm, corn!
I love blankets!
trying for the corny joke... it's just not coming
Snuggly!
Looks nice and comfy.
If that blankie is as silky soft as it looks, I'm all ears to hear more about it! And maybe, if I'm lucky, I'll be hearing about how it will be coming to me soon? :-)
nice and warm
I want to win!
Ooh, I'd love to win this!
Please enter Margo Morgan
snugglesome
Pick me, pretty please?!!
That is the stylish way in which a southernwoman living in the cold mid-west should stay toasty warm!
It would be EAR-responsible to give this away to anyone but me!
It would match my living room so perfectly. I can just see my 6 year old curled up with her kitties in the window seat with the snow outside... :)
One of my favorite colors. Bellissimo!
I love it! I want to wrap myself up in it! This might be the final motivator for me to snuggle up in my armchair and read a book every night....add a warm fire and it'd be heaven.
Maize my day!
(sorry...I just had to...you know??)
Thanks :-)
Please, please let me win this blanket so my wife will have something to warm her cold feet with besides my person.
Oh! Our kitty needs a new blanket to steal from us!
snuggling up in this to read a novel would be bushels of fun
Just what I need to stay toasty warm this winter.
just what i need ,on a cold nite
Lovely. I'll be happy to have it.

I'd love this!!
I have a spot on my couch EAR-marked for it already...
Looks so comfy! Would help when I'm freezing up here in Minneapolis!
I am like a chicken tamale with no masa. Let me cover myself with this beautiful throw and realize become a perfectly realized snack!
I'm an Iowa girl transplanted to the West Coast. I miss my corn! Maybe this would help me feel less homesick. :)

Gorgeous!
maize sense why you'd wanna give this to me!
Looks nice and soft!
A CORNacopia of warmth!
Nice!
Looks warm~!
My crummy throw with holes isn't cutting it any longer. I need something to chase away the cold that is everywhere. Ugh, with heating bills through the roof, a warm throw is in order.
Love it!
warm and cozy!
Me likey!
After the first string of cold days and in New York, this blanket is just the thing to desire curling up under.
Ohh... I need this. Will help me deal with the long chilly nights while my hubby is working out of town.
Who let the dogs out...woof woof woof wooooof....???!!!
Cheers,
jewels
I'll STALK you if you don't give this blanket to me!
Nice!

perfect for being a snugglebug.
i was just sick in bed for four days... and realize that my sofa needs a nice soft throw
Would love this!
You want something corny? You got it.
I love the soft green color--it would look great in my family room and be cozy on upcoming cold winter nights.
I want it.
I really do need that. I swear.
silence is golden, but duct tape is silver :)
thats my corny phrase
amaizing blankie
Where does the corn-loving minotaur live? In a maize.
i'd wrap my kernels in that blanket.
yes, please.
I'm cold!
yummy!
warm and inviting!
brrrr I'm cold.... I wish I had a throw...
would really "pop" in my room. oy.
That buttery throw would look a-maizing on my couch and help me keep my ears warm and my toes toasty
A corn blanket? I'm all ears!
Oh, me! Me, me, please?
I could get lost with a nice book in that maize all night! .. ok that was just horrible! hahaha
The above comment made me laugh--i think flappy should get it. But, this is on my christmas wish list. I've discovered the windows in my new place are drafty.
Impressive array of clever corn-y statements.
How about: I will suffer a corn-ary if I don't win this.
nice
The price should be $60 because that's how wide it is.
my people call it "maize"
Ooh, herringbone.
Would love it
i would love to cuddle up on the couch in this! hope i win!
How inviting!
I love all things Italian
It's starting to get chilly here....would love to warm myself and my hubbie with this.
All the good corn puns are taken. If there *is* such a thing as a good pun ...
Now this is too pretty to pass up!
I just hope this throw won't affect my stool.
Looks so warm and soft.
Perfect for a nap!
love it!
Wow, I have had this very blanket bookmarked forever, I love it! Yea VivaTerra!

I love all things VivaTerra!
Nice and cozy~
( To be sung to that famous tune!)
A-Maizing grace
How sweet the ground
For you to share with me
The se-ee-ed was sown
The pla-ant was grown
To be aaahh... warm blankey!
The blanket is lovely! And it matches my sofa perfectly. And me.

This is missing from my couch.
This is one of the offerings I may well purchase if I am not gifted with it. I would like it as a gift better.
So cold - heat on 65 - need blanket.
Thank you.
MMMmmmmmm.... warm and lovely. just what my couch needs.
Toasty warm toes!
I'm so poor...can I have a free blanket?
The heat is out and oh, I wish I had that right now.
Right now we're using an ugly blue fleece throw—this would be SO much better!
it's beautiful
Looks Snow-Queeny and soft. Just the thing -
I come from the Mays family...that must count for something right?
I love it.
Oh baby its cold outside--

It's so cold here!

Corn! Yummy!
I was born in Indiana....legally I have to love all things corn and this is no exception. So cuddly!
I need this throw so I can snuggle up with my s.o. and gaze into each others' eyes... if that isn't corny (if true!), I don't know what is!
This is a perfect gift for my grandma who is always freezing!
Is that an ear of corn in your pocket or are you just happy to see me.
I'm cold right now!

I am chilly and dreaming of Italy. Please warm me up!

love eating corn in the summer but this blanket will be a treat in this freezing weather!
You call it maize... I call it mine!
Oh the weather outside is frightful
that blanket would be so delightful
I am *so* freezing right now. This looks great.
Looks more comfortable than a bag of Fritos.
I'm a west coast transplant from Iowa, so having this would be like having a little bit of home. Awwww....
How is an ear of corn like an army?
It has lots of kernels.
:)
:(
I have been looking for a new blanket,
please please please!
Corn on the lap is worth two for the tush
Yes please!!!!
having grown up in iowa, i find myself impeccably qualified to love this blanket.
I want to wrap my sweet toddler in it and give him some hot chocolate.
perfect for a day like today--
Cold rainy days
On the couch curled up
Reading a book with a cup of tea
Needing a cozy blanket to complete the equation.
lovely
cozy.
I live in a basement and it is freezing.
I would cover up and listen to multiple versions of the traditional song "Green Corn" and dance with my cat to dance when the Leadbelly version plays.
corn
wrap me up.
i would love to snuggle up in that!
i wanted to say something cute, but all i could think was "gimmegimmegimme!"
My town has been blanketed by snow and now I need an extra warm blanket.
that's so beautiful! I love it.
ooo
How about a story involving corn, rather than a corny comment: I am moving in with my boyfriend in a few months, who grew up on a corn farm and spent his summer detassling (google it)...now he lives in a loft condo in the heart of Chicago..this would blanket is the perfect blend of the both of us- my taste, his corn!
I want one!! so cozy...
midwestern farm girl,
citified in her high-rise,
longs for corn comfort
mmm...love it.
Perfect in the silo or in the home...
What a lovely way to keep warm.
Amaizeing!
Oooh...I so need a warm blanket!
it's lovely
Maize-a-licious!
nice!
it's "green"
It looks so cozy.
Yes, please.
Hmm, corny....It's amaizeing!!
That's a beautiful color, and it looks as though it would be very nice to touch. Thanks for the giveaway!
Please be my new blankie!

Lovely and snuggly!

Almost as good as a hug!
Another wonderful prize in your cornucopia of Christmas gifts!
beautiful!
oh.. so pretty and cozy...perfect for cuddling!
Please randomly select me!!
Ooooh, I am warm just looking at it!
This would have been 'a-maize-ingly' perfect with my slothful evening on the couch with a book and large bowl of popcorn. If you 'pick' me, next time even my 'ears' will be warm, and I can turn the heater down even more in my attempts to save energy (and money).
I'd love to snuggle up in the "corn"er with this one! Ba-dum-ching!
That *does* look cozy.
that throw is amaizing ~ grazie mille
I used to work in a blanket factory, but it folded.
And I thought my families tamales were the only corny thing around Christmas! Sorry, couldn't resist. XD
looks snugly
a perfect compliment to my sage green sofa
Let me wrap up in that while reading Goodnight Moon to my daughter for the 15th time tonight!
brrr... warm blanket looks inviting!
STunning!!
Im blogging you! :)
http://contestaddict.blogspot.com
lovely!
My dog has appropriated all of my good blankets, so this would be great.
I love Viva Terra, and I would love to win this beautiful throw.
ooooohhhhh.. So soft and cozy. Love it.
seafoam green, my favorite color!
i love blankets and i desperately need something soft to cuddle up with on my couch.
Cozy!
That throw looks beautiful and not corny at all.
I wonder if people allergic to corn would be allergic to this blanket....I hope not...it looks way to cuddly to resist!
Let's pop that baby right now!
To paraphrase a Cajun saying... I love this like a pig loves corn!
Looks so Soft! I want one!
i do like blankets.
very pretty - and i love throws...
"We call it maize" That looks cozy.
a good movie, a cup of hot chocolate, and this blanket...so happy
oo snuggly!
do you know how cold the victorians in the bay area are?!
so warm on these cold nights!
Oooh, corn throw goodness. (Or maize it be better?)
Need it for my new couch!!!!
I'd love to cuddle with some corn
beautiful!!
my cat gives this blanket paws up!
very cozy and warm
looks comfy
If this doesn't keep me warm, I'll feed it to the pig.
I was trying to think of a joke involving the army and "kernels" and just failed. Miserably.
this would match nicely to my new couch!
Just what we need to keep our "ears" warm.
(terrible)
this would be a lovely replacement for the down throw that my cat keeps peeing on. for some reason, he really hates down!!
A big bowl of popcorn and a cozy corn throw! Perfect movie night.
This would beat wearing my bathrobe over my clothes when I'm cold, which is all the time.
pretty!
blankets are the best!
love maize.
please let me have this!
lucious
nice!
if i had this, i wouldn't freeze my kernels off
Wonderful!

The perfect thing to be cuddled under while eating popCORN. =) and sharing popcorn with my Dh and throwing popcorn to the dog over the couch=)
Mmm..would be so comfy to lounge in front of the tv in this crazy Chicago winter!
Wow, I just brought this for my mom for christmas. It looks so cozy and warm and green too!

I love it!
i have been lusting over this, and i need it bad
My dogs would surely take over this throw too.
beautiful color and texture
Snuggly!
blankie!

Comfy-Cozy!
Wrap me up and call me a corndog!
Beautiful throw!
This corn blanket would keep you so warm you'd pop (popcorn - no bad? horrible? sorry)
would love this a-maize-ing blanket!
one time I made the mistake of planting a decorative corn on the same acre as two yummy edibles. By harvest time none of the corn was edible but it was gorgeous to look at. I know better now. Corn is for the couch!
here's my corny comment!
It looks so soft.
beautiful, like my bamboo throw! hope it doesn't need to be dry cleaned.
Snuggly.
ooooh. yes please.
a - maize - ing
Something to keep Santa warm.
Such taseful things you have! Wowza!
This is perfect for me and my little nubbin!
(nubbin=an undeveloped ear of corn)
Ooooooooh....
That is lovely and looks so cozy!
Winning would maize my day!
Maize well give this a try--it looks so lovely and soft and warm, and my Mom's favorite color. If I win it, she gets it!
I'd love to give this cozy thing to my girlfriend--to replace the one our cat has claimed for her own. We love the cat but she does weave her own fur into things if we're not careful.
this is a beauty.
Been snowing all day... Wish I had an Italian Maize Throw to keep me warm...
this would be the fanciest blanket i have ever owned.
this is lovely!
so luxurious and luscious...
What happens if I put that in the microwave?
I would love a "maize" to "throw" on my couch.
My husband's allergic to wool, so I'm knitting him corn socks. I bet he'd love to curl under this as well.
I just had to put my cat in the hospital yesterday; hoping she'll be released suddenly better by Monday but who knows. Would love for her to curl up on this on her favorite spot beside me on the sofa when she's recovering and I can be sure she's all warm and belovedly enveloped.
It may be corny, but we need this throw to Cover Our Red Noses.
Make a nice early xmas present for me!! =D
want blanket
pick me! pick me!
me! I'm cold!
Perfect for eating pocorn under!
cozy
Oh dear, I'm all out of puns.
Can anyone tell me a good one? I'm all ears....
I'd give this one to my mom, it's just her style.
I'm already in Kansas - that beautiful maize blanket would feel right at home here.
Friends, Romans, countrymen, Fellow ATers, VivaTerra, lend me your (corn blanket) ears.
makes me want to snuggle up at my desk right now!
so cozy!
my manchester terrior thor stole my down comfortor.....this will be all mine
