Summer Al Fresco

Summertime is in full swing! Now is the time to make the most of the warm weather. Grab the sunscreen, a great book, and something cool to drink. It’s time to head outdoors!

The 4th of July is behind us, but there’s still plenty of Summer left. Soak up the warm weather, and enjoy a little bit of nature at the same time, by planning a picnic in the park. Whether you bring take-out from your favorite restaurant, or pack fresh fruit, cheese and crackers, you can’t have a picnic without a blanket! Opt for natural fibers that are machine washable, and keep cooler by selecting a blanket that is lighter in color. The Zestt Hex blanket from our May/June box is 100% organic cotton with a light texture and soft feel, perfect for your next picnic.

The Hex blanket throw is also a great addition to your home. Keep this blanket handy on chilly nights by draping it over a blanket ladder in your office or bedroom.

Add texture and style to any room by including a blanket. Use a blanket as a tapestry on a wall, or piece of furniture. Create an indoor picnic with hors d’oeuvres and drinks and use your blanket as a backdrop. Include fresh greens and enjoy your picnic from the comfort of your living room (and air conditioning)!
