My Favoite Things: Throw Blankets

 A warm, cozy blanket for watching TV or reading is one of my favorite things. 

I have collected a few others over the years. Some of the throws were gifts from friends or family, while others I bought at a store. I would touch one and immediately announce that I needed to take it home with me. 

This blanket sits in our oversized living room chair. It is perfect for getting cozy while I do my morning devotions and meditation. 

I made this fleece blanket for my son a few years ago. He is an adult now, so I took it back and enjoy it on my shoulders in the evenings. 

This blanket, a thoughtful gift after my recent surgery, is incredibly soft and warm. I keep it in my bedroom, either for reading in our chair or as a cozy throw over my legs during my evening wind-downs. 

This was initially intended as a  Christmas blanket, but its coziness made it impossible to pack away. It now lives permanently in our bedroom. 

This stadium blanket lived in my parents' car trunk for many years. I used it for chilly high school football games. It has seen better days, but I just can't donate it or toss it. 

This is our latest purchase. We spotted it in a store and couldn’t resist feeling its softness. Before we knew it, we had a set of throws in our shopping cart. 😊 Last night I was covered from my chin to my toes with this blanket while we binge-watched our latest TV series. 

Someone asked me recently why we have so many throw blankets when one or two would be enough. It is like potato chips or homemade cookies... You can't have just one. 

As the blankets wear out, we’ll bid farewell. However, you’ll find me at the store a few days later, replacing it with a new one. 

By the way, during the hot summer months, I can often be found cozily wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, reading a book.
