How flattering...

What a lovely way to start the day - I just received an email from the editor of Country Homes & Interiors saying:-
"Hi Lorna,
Just to let you know I mentioned the Plum and Ivory Throws on my blog this morning.
Best wishes,
Rhoda"

And here is what she had to say...

These feel-good mohair throws from Plum and Ivory in a satisfying range of colours are great over the back of the sofa…or just for snuggling up with before you put the heating on.
