this winter is brutal! thankfully we get a teeny break this week!
Sheesh! Between you and A Little Sussy these are no longer available.
I love that it says NEW even though they're already gone.
Pottery Barn has got to love you!
Beautiful Colors! This would make a wonderful gift.
These throws are available locally (in Boulder) at this supercool free trade store, Momentum, on Pearl Street. I ooh and ahh over them everytime I'm in there.
