Some of My Favorite Cozy Things

Middle Georgia has experienced Summer, Fall and Winter temps all within a couple of weeks.Two weeks ago we almost hit 80 a couple of times! Crazy. It was nice though.  Then one day last week I left in morning to run errands to mail Christmas packages and pick up a few items from my favorite store, Target and the temperature was in the 50’s with the sun shining.  I met a friend for lunch and coffee at our favorite local coffee shop.  Love it there! Perfect place to be when there is a chill in the air.  Even better if you’re there with a great friend enjoying hot coffee and anything the shop has baked (can’t go wrong with anything there.)

After two hours there, I walked out to a gray, dreary sky and the temperature dropped at least 10 degrees! Brrr! All I wanted to do was get home to get warm with a blanket and something hot to drink.

 

I have a favorite blanket that I love to curl up with when the cold weather hits. My great aunt knitted this blanket as a wedding present for my husband and me 29 years ago.  So, yes it is worn in and a few places need repair.  My great aunt passed away several years ago so I treasure this blanket even more.

 

 

 

 

Of course, while in this “sink into me and never wanna leave me” chair I get my share of web surfing done. I came across Parachute, a bedding website. They have various cozy essentials that will be sure to keep you warm.  I was looking at their beddingand all but drooled over the computer at the bedding and throw blankets.  Just looking at them made me feel like sinking into that bed and hibernate till Spring! The cashmere blankets, well, let’s just say I think I would wear them out – they look amazingly soft and warm. You know, the kind of blankets…they make you want to say “See you in the Spring!”

 

What also grabbed me about their business is the fact if you buy a bedding set, they will donate a life-saving bed net to families in areas of Africa where Malaria is high.  It’s their way of giving back. I love that in a company, draws me more to purchase from them than the price does.

 

Okay, now that I shared some of my favorite cozy things, what are some of yours?
