Blankie

I know, you are all going to have me arrested for two posts in one day... but I gotta ask.

Do any of you have one of these?

It's a super soft, snugly blanket that zips together and snaps to form a robe-like thing, and when you are sitting down even the bottom snaps together so you are completely bundled up. I had one when I was a kid. I used to wear it all winter long, year after year, until I wore it out...and then didn't see them again for decades.

I just found them again, and being that it's threatening flurries today and chilly, I've been in mine all day (literally - that picture was from two minutes ago. I'm contemplating not even getting out of it to drive to the vet to pick up my dog. Think they'll notice?)

Edit: Oh for heaven's sake! It seems this is something you guys DON'T have, but want? Dutchy suggested I do a contest for one. If I can get my hands on another one or two, I might just do that if there is interest? Yes? No? What kind of contest, I wonder....

NO!

=sob!=

I don't have a woman rolled up in a snuggle blanket right now...

Karl said...

Ooh, that's very cool. Yeah, I'll take one, too. Can I get mine wrapped around a beautiful artist, too, or is that extra?

That is very cool. I've never seen one, but I would love one. During the winter, I snuggled under the blankets many days... a contest is a must... Maybe a trivia contest? Or art? Or something?

DutchBitch said...

Well, doesn't matter what kinda contest, just as long as I win, heh

I have something very similar actually..except it's a solid color. I got it for Christmas; it was the best gift EVER! Especially for living in upstate NY. :)

looks awesome. Perect for sitting on your deck in the evening.

I'd be interested in anything that came from Vermont, Canada. ; ) That looks like a Savy original over the mantle, yes?

Lisa said...

LOL I used to have one of those but over the years it's gotten lost in the shuffle.

I need one of those! Where did you get it? It is freezing at the camp until we get the wood stove going. That looks cozier than our heated blanket.
