My blanket label collection


   This little guy  I met on the street


reminded me I have not undated my vintage blanket label collection.




Just  photographs of the labels...if I kept all the blankets I would have no where to actually sleep.


Unless I slept on top of them like The Princess and the Pea.


Not sure where the above blanket comes from. Research is needed, that 'V' looks familiar. 


I think all the old Eatons of Canada stores have gone now.


Whoops.....edit. Forgot  this one.

  1. I'm sure you don't cut up your vintage blankets but a vintage blanket dog coat is a nice idea!

  3. That "V" is actually an "O" and a "V" together, and was from the Ottawa Valley Woollen Mills. I have another label of theirs that shows it more clearly.
