You know how when you find that perfect something
in that perfect faded color and texture?
Something thats so soft and pretty
and that seems to beg you to bring it home with you?

I was shopping for a few gifts at HomeGoods and Ross
when I happened upon a whole shelf of beautiful throws.
(You know how that is… you are shopping for things for other people and find things for yourself.
I think it’s gotta be a Murphys Law or something)
This one talked to me.
Amazingly soft
woven cable knit
with a long flirty fringe
in a super delightful pale silvery gray blue.
(Did I use enough descriptive words there?) 😉
It was love at first sight.
Instantly I imagined curling up with it on the sofa next to the fire
or that gorgeous pale blue draped on the settee in my bedroom
With it being on sale for under $15- it had to come home with me.

I just might have picked up another couple of them for gifts too.
I have a couple people on my list who would adore them as much as I do
and I am thinking a soft gorgeous throw just might be a perfect gift this year.

It’s been busy-busy over here but I took a break and had such a fun afternoon
with my friend Sandy from The Olive and Rose yesterday.
We sat by the fire and chatted for hours about this and that and pretty much everything else.
It always feels like we don’t have enough time chat about all the things we have stored up
since the last time we talked!
Sandy and I also laughed about one of the things I was working on.
Yes, laughed… that should tell you something! 😉
I am not 100% sure just how it’s going to turn out ~ will share it soon.
See you this afternoon
for Feathered Nest Friday!

That is so pretty! The color almost looks to have a light hint of lilac. Like a Sterling rose. You can never have enough snugly throws. We have oodles. I am a sucker for them (:

Well…you left us hanging here!! And…you didn't say where you found the beautiful throw!! I love giving them as gifts, everyone loves them and one size fits all! I think it's impossible to shop without finding things I'd love for myself, too! It takes a lot of restraint! lol!
XO,
Jane
Courtney says

It so pretty and cozy!! I am becoming a collector of throws these days so I am dying to go get one. Don't know if that is a good or bad thing 😉

just wondering if you painted those lovely end tables? If so – can you share pls?
Courtney says
The end tables are vintage Florentine tables that were thrift store finds. I didn't paint them- they came that way. 🙂
carol y l says
This blue one..is it from Ross? I love it!
Courtney says
Hi Carol! Either Ross or HomeGoods… I shopped both that day.
Lorrie says
That is one gorgeous throw! My favourite colour, too.
Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
It sounds wonderful, Courtney! Such a pretty color. I love those chilly days when you can curl up with a soft throw.
Nancy Carr says
I would not have been able to pass up that throw either — feminine, soft and blue.
Kerryanne @ Shabby Art Boutique says
I adore that colour Courtney and it does look super snuggly.
Heaven's Walk says
I LOVE the color and the soft look to your new throw, Courtney! And it's just perfect on that sofa!!!! 🙂

Perfect throw for your decor and a great buy. I've shopped at French Bleu Vintage. Just found the precious vintage bluebird salt & pepper mate to one I picked up at a rummage sale years ago(!), plus a Chinese parasol, bird-topped wire topiary and a fab french wire desk set, among other things. Adrienne has free shipping days several times a year, so I encourage everyone to get on her mailing list. Great savings with the 20% off.
Tammie Burton Hoekstra says
I've been looking for a throw just like this! You know where I'll be tomorrow!! It is beautiful.
Cindy says
Oh yeah, that is yummy as anything… of course you couldn't resist it! I have found that when i'm Christmas shopping, i keep finding things i like! So… it's like, one for me… one for you… I'm pretty sure Santa would say i was very naughty!
