Aviator Blanket!

It's been a very cold day here! It was only 6 degrees when I woke up, even though it's still September. It was so cold my sister's cat climbed under the quilt to cuddle up to me.

So I decided that I needed a throw for both on top of my blanket for when I sleep and for when I'm on the sofa. There are a lot of blankets at my parents' house but I didn't have any of my own here at my sister's.

Habitat was a disappointment, but then again it was only a small habitat, so I hopped on the bus to the local shopping centre and had a rummage around John Lewis. Most of the throws didn't have any character, though they were good quality and decently priced...

Until I spotted this one tucked away on the bottom of shelf! Done in a wool and leather aviator style, complete with buckle straps to keep it neat when not in use and a handle fit easy carrying, I fell in love with it.

I'm using it now on the sofa (second image), so comfortable!

Aviator throw (I couldn't find an official name for it), John Lewis, £60.

The downside? Dry clean only. And pure polyester! But I do love it, I like my accessories to have character, even my homeware.
