    This was a gift from an elderly lady friend.. She had it for many years, but I don't think she wore it much... I like to read in bed, so it keeps my arms warm..

    I've seen nice pillows and stuffed animals made from chenille, but this one will remain a bedjacket as long as I last..

    WOW I looked high and low for one of these at Christmas for my Mothere, she is in skilled nursing and is always cold, I ended up buying her a really nice robe and cutting it off and hemming it.

    Wow, thanks for the memory. I remember my Grandmother with one of those. It seems that my Mom had one too.

    That is so pretty. I sure wouldn't cut it up to make something else.
