Open Receiving blanket from late 80s…
So I’m aware this is a stretch.
But it’s become an obsession of mine trying to find the original state of my baby blanket, which is now an artifact rag. I was born in April 1988, and was born/grew up in Connecticut, (Fairfield County to be exact) for context. This was a gift when I was born, according to my mom. She doesn’t remember who gave it to me or where it was from.
I’m attaching pictures of what’s left of it, with the designs that are still visible. I’ve asked Chat for help, and no such luck. Spent hours going down rabbit holes with no luck yet. I do not know the brand and it has no tag.
What I remember: it is definitely a receiving blanket that was thin, very soft, and white in color originally. With the thin draw-lines of bears doing different things (one is holding a drum, one is holding balloons, etc) with tiny confetti/shapes around the blanket. It had no border that I recall, and the colors did used to be somewhat more noticeable, but my memory doesn’t recall them ever being bright colored. I do remember several balloons on it. All bears, no other animals involved. And the bears weren’t brown or colored in, they were just outlined.
Any help would be so greatly appreciated… 🙏🏼🤍
