Hi I love you
I discovered Nipomo‘s blankets at the MTHR retreat in Sonoma last weekend…and now I want to fill my house (and my Christmas gift lists) with them. They’re gorgeous. And hand-woven. And come with (also hand-made) leather carrying straps, in case you love yours so much you feel the need to take it with you everywhere.
The woman who designs the patterns and color ways, Liz Clark, was one of the vendors during the Makers Pop-Up Shop on Sunday, and…you’ve heard the term “flying off the racks”? These blankets flew. (Liz’s mom is the one who makes the leather straps, which is obviously wonderful.) I bought one as a gift for a friend, but am kiiiiind of wishing I’d picked up a couple more, because not only are they spectacularly pretty and unique, they’re also crazy-versatile – you can pop them on top of a rug pad and layer them on your floor, use them as beach blankets or picnic blankets, toss them over your bed or the back of a couch…whatever.
Some of my favorite styles are below, but really: they’re all great.
(Oh! And Nipomo also makes the most adorable sandals – I tried them on at the pop-up and they’re comfortable and sturdy. Especially into the Ultramarino.)
