What Our Customers Say
“I first saw a picture of Betsy Leighton’s “Soleil” blanket in an issue of Decor Maine magazine. I knew I had to have one and immediately reached out to Betsy. It did not disappoint! It is gorgeous and cozy and will brighten even the darkest days! I fully recommend.”
Erika K. Middleburg, VA
"These blankets are amazing. There is nothing comparable available today. The designs are unique and celebratory, yet they are soft and perfect for an early morning, or later with a cup of tea, or for taking a walk."
Roy D. Philadelphia, PA
"What could be better? Betsy’s remarkable color sense and craftsmanship, familiar to those of us lucky enough to own her aprons and pillows, has scaled way up, emerging as these gloriously warm and cozy throws."
Susan T. Point Reyes, CA
"It’s the best luxury blanket available. It both looks beautiful—it’s artfully designed—-and makes you feel cozy and relaxed. I tell my friends to buy one as a gift and one for themselves before they’re sold out."
