This blanket was given to me by my grandmother (father’s side) for my first apartment in 2003. I’m pretty sure it moved around with me for the next several years and eventually became the “guest blanket” for any visitors staying with me. It finally ended up in the extra blankets closet in my childhood home, here in Corning, which was turned into an Airbnb hosting hundreds of visitors from all over the world over the past year and a half. I figured this would be a glorious way for it to be “put to pasture.”
