Moving west

This blanket was originally purchased to serve as a Christmas tree skirt during the holidays and living room “throw” the rest of the year when I moved into my first apartment. It was then used in my hatchback to cover everything I owned for “security” as I moved from Texas to New York, New York to Wisconsin, and finally Wisconsin to Washington. This blanket has truly been a significant transportation object in my life.
