Blankets

We do love a Welsh wool blanket at Cow & Ghost. Two new arrivals today. Both double and both perfect. The photos simply don't do justice to the vibrant colours.

These lovely blankets were made in various mills all over Wales. Always a luxury item when new, they were often given as wedding presents as they would literally last a lifetime.

My Great Grandmother would give one to family members only. 

I have the ones that belonged to my Grandmother - and a few I've collected through the years. I never tire of them, and they are very useful in the winter.

We've been pleased to sell several over the last few months. It's been lovely talking to people about them and seeing photos of them in their new homes.

Along with the two new ones, this is our stock at the moment.

We also have a wonderful range of bunting made from damaged blankets.

Wonderful that when they have had a lifetime of use these treasures find a new purpose.

We'll be bringing all these along to the Vintage Fayre in Crickhowell on September 19th
