Remember your favorite teddy bear and how soft and comforting it felt to hold it? How about the silky fur of a Persian kitten sleeping on your lap? Well my favorite teddy got washed and went from being called Fluffy to Scruffy, and long-haired cats make me want to curl up and die from allergies so when I felt this blanket for the first time I thought I’d died and gone to heaven.
CK and I actually came across these blankets back in October during our trip to Seattle. It was raining and we hanging out in a mall until it was time to go to the airport. While browsing around Restoration Hardware we stumbled upon magical decadent brown leather club chairs covered in the absolute softest throws I’d ever felt. I would have gladly stayed there all day snuggled up with those cozy blankets, but instead we flew back to Boston and I bought throws for my mom, grandmother, and sister for Christmas. Then I proceeded to steal my sister’s throw and curl up in it anytime she wasn’t looking. I was so annoyed with myself for not buying one, but CK (aka the best boyfriend ever) secretly ordered one online and it arrived today. In pink of course.
Perhaps the best part is that they’re on sale right now. I’m sure they wont last long and it’s going to be a long cold winter. Why not invest in something comforting that will make you forget that fact for a few moments?
One day at CostCo a few years ago, I found a recliner that was made of that same material. Part of me found it horrifying because it was probably one of the ugliest things ever, and part of me wished really hard that I could buy it. It was so snuggle-ly.
So…needless to say…I’m jealous of your blanket. 🙂
someone gave my boy a blanket like that… I have been known to walk around the house with it wrapped around my head/neck.
viva la softness!
I am such a sucker for a cuddly blanket. You are seriously making me want to bypass my house after work today to hit up our Restoration hardware (I think we have one in town), even though we already have 3 throws in our living room this very moment. A girl can’t have too many, though, right?
