Let’s Get Cosy
Hurrah, It's September! The month of mittens and sunglasses and cursing the chill that's creeping into the evening and early morning air. Don't turn your heating on just yet I have the very thing you need...
handmade and vintage :: crochet and knitted
I’m not going to lie, I’m an Autumnal kinda gal. I love to layer, wear woolly tights ‘n cardigans and snuggle underneath my favourite vintage crochet blanket. Winter is on it’s way and so is the best excuse to stay in, watch movies and cuddle up on the sofa. With this in mind I’ve been thrifting knitted and crochet blankets all summer and today I popped the best of the bunch into Home Sweet Home in my online shoppe. A handmade crochet or knitted blanket is the perfect thing to cosy up to and here are my fave three teamed up with some of my thrifted cushions…
Mickey Mouse & candy square knitted blanket
I adore this candy colour block knitted blanket, each and every shade of yarn is mouth wateringly cute-as-a-button and it’s the perfect size to wrap around your knees on the sofa or round your shoulders if you still wanna sit in the garden to eat supper or watch the sun go down. The Mickey Mouse cushion is mine, I found it in a flohmarkt in Berlin many years ago and it’s one of the few things I won’t part with. MM4EVS!
colour pop 'n dove grey crochet blanket :: tapestry rose cushion
Just before I could publish this post one of our regular eagle-eyed customers snapped up this beautiful dove grey crochet blanket with colour pop squares. However, the lovely tapestry rose cushion is still for sale and I think it compliments the dove grey sofa and blanket beautifully. I found the cushion at a flea market in Paris, it’s a homecrafted piece which is perfectly made and in the finest condition.
cherry red crochet blanket :: starman tapestry cushion
One of my favourite colour combos: cherry red and dove grey. This handmade crochet blanket is perfect for picnics, cat cuddling, shoulder wrapping, knee warming, bed throwing and sofa surfing. It’ll give your pad that instant vintage look fix. I’ve paired it up with this crazy Starman cushion I thrifted on one of my day long jaunts round old London town. I wonder who on earth made this crazy piece of home furnishing? I bet there’s a tale to tell there somewhere!
