.: Blanket Perfection

Hello!
One of my all time favorite things in life is the perfect blanket. I cannot even begin to tell you the amount of $ I have spent over the years to find just the right one. Whether it be for over the couch for reading time, on my daughters bed or even the comforter on ours....I am a stickler for all things soft and cozy.

The story of my custom baby blankets offered in the shop goes like this:

At about 39 weeks pregnant, emotional and uncomfortable I was stuffed from the perfect fattening breakfast and my Mom, sisters and I stumbled upon the cutest little girl's boutique! I cannot give names because theyre no longer in business and they went through court blah blah. I swear, I walked inside and the heavens sang to me, and since I already knew my little bouncing bundle was indeed a girl, this store was up my alley! And there it was, the perfect blend of soft, minky material, bright pink hues and a sickening pricetag of $88. But, being in the fat, uncomfortable, stuffed-from-breakfast state I was in, KA-CHING! that beauty was mine and I offically had "sucker" inked across my forehead.

Now, in my defense.......it's been almost 4 years, and been through over 100 washes and that badboy is still in MINT condition! But, alas, it sent me on a hunt for the perfect fabric to duplicate that gorgeous hunk of soft perfection. I ordered up as much material as my little sewing area could hold and enlisted the help of my amazing Yiayia (Grandmother, for all the nongreeks out there) and together, we created a blanket that was so close to the $88 investment I couldnt tell the difference whatsoever. Here we are, almost 4 years later and over 100 blanket sales, and I decided it was time for a little giveaway!

I have the most amazing customers, who not only have helped to support my little shop over the years, but continue to spread the word whether it be about this blog, or my facebook store, or the little area in Vintage (Dowtown Morris) that I used to rent, they always seem to find a way to talk "Homespun Lane" and Thank you just never seems to be enough.......so here is the point of todays blog, before I ramble the day away!

Because of all the continuous support I have been given.....I want to give away 5 lavish, fancy, not so expensive blankets to 5 special Homespun Lane fans out there.....That's right, you heard me.....5!!!!!!

Here is how this is going to work:

1. You must follow the blog, which will give you one entry. You must then come to the blog, and leave me a comment after this post stating that you indeed followed me :)

2. For an added entry, you must share my blog on your facebook and ask that your friends follow the blog.

3. The above, will guarantee 2 blanket winners.......the following is what will need to happen for blankets 3,4,5 to be given away.

4. I must reach 100 followers on my blog for blanket 3 to be given away. This must happen by March 9th, exactly one month from today.

5. After sharing the blog with your friends on facebook, invite them to leave a comment on this post, telling me WHO (you) told them about the blog. If 20 NEW followers do so, that will be when I give away blanket #4.

6. IF and only IF we reach 200 followers by March 9th, then blanket #5 will be given away, randomly to one of the followers of my blog.....

Its that simple! I have so much amazing fabric laying around, and I want to give it away so I can then debut some NEW fabric waiting in the wings! How fun is winning something for free?! All blankets will be either hand delivered or shipped depending on where winner lives, and I will do all shipping the Week of March 15th, once all winners and entries have been tallied. This is just for fun, and obviously you don't HAVE to participate but let me tell you, once you get one of these blankets in your possession, you will be SO glad you participated!

On top of the giveaways, I will be running a deal that for every blanket purchased from Now, until March 9th, you will get an additional entry to WIN a blanket as well.....then you can keep one, and give one away!

I am so excited to give these gorgeous blankets away! And, on top of that gain more followers!

As an added bonus.....here are a few of the AMAZING new, unique fabrics that are available in the shop! Enjoy!
