Blanket Cushion

I thought I’d share my cushions with you all as I have been meaning to get a snap of them, but the light was never quite right. I got them whilst at the Country Living Christmas Fair last November (you may remember the other goodies I got there here). It was love at first sight as the colours are calm yet colourful, which I love!

The very sweet company that made them is called Calon and each cushion, or pair of cushions they make are individual. I love the fact that they are all slightly different and made from vintage wool blankets. I like to think about who might have owned it first or who had a picnic using it (don’t worry they are all properly cleaned before they make the cushions). Welsh blankets are in short supply these days so I’m pretty pleased I have a little bit of a very pretty one sitting on my sofa.

This week other than snuggling up with my cushions I have been lusting after the new Boden Autumn collection, especially their Heritage Range! I wish my bank balance would allow me some purchases, alas I’m saving for my trip to Paris with Miles. Also, very excited by the Gainsbourg movie that is out, I feel this would make the perfect Paris preparation film. Alas, I have not a moment to spare for it – sob!
