A few years ago, we picked up one of these beach blankets. They're thin and lightweight, so you can carry them easily (or stuff one into a bag), and then spread them out for a grassy picnic or napping on the sand. We've used it a million times; I'd highly recommend them!P.S. Five more summer essentials...
We have one of those super thin and breezy beach blankets as well. It is brilliant, indeed. It makes every outting (picnic or just simple afternoon in the park) so much easier. Kisses
ReplyDeleteI really like the beach blanket, practical and cute! Where could I purchase one or something like it?
ReplyDeleteKind of vintage looking, cute.

I swear by thin beach blankets! Light to carry plus they get dry easier than the thick ones! Also sometimes I use my sarong instead of blanket and actually works just fine!

My husband and I were recently in Mexico and found these EXACT same towels for $8, I bough a ton to give as gifts and am glad after seeing the $48 price tag on Steven Alan's site!
ReplyDeleteI need one of these! can you repost the link?
ReplyDeletethanks!
a MUST for the beach, I hate feeling sandy for days or months lol
ReplyDeleteps. diana is right here's the link:http://www.stevenalan.com/womens/apothecary-home/beach-blanket
apologies!! the link is up!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's about time the hubs and I invest in some legitimate beach blankets, instead of the old, mismatched, mostly ugly things we currently keep in the trunk of my car. One of ours has cow spots. These are definitely much prettier.
ReplyDeleteIt says hand wash. Have you machine washed yours?

ReplyDeleteLove love love this blanket! It's so beautiful! I've been meaning to find myself a good beach/picnic blanket.. I love eating lunch outside in the summer, but the picnic tables are always full, and the grass is just so prickly!
ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect. Now to find a cheaper alternative..
Thank you! Those beach blankets are really cheery.
ReplyDeleteI like the close weave blankets because towels and fuzzy ones catch too much sand. Browsing eBay for a vintage bedspread can turn up some nifty ones as well.
It looks great! But I'm wondering the same as a previous poster.... have you machine washed it? I'm not sure how you would hand wash something so big.
ReplyDeleteclicked on the link to purchase...but the website says they are out of stock! :(
ReplyDeleteI have very similar ones from Etsy. These thinner towels originate from Turkey and are called "peshtemals". Try Googling or searching on Etsy and you can find tons of colors and options.

I've got the same question as a few others on the hand washing: can this go in the wash? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this series-- and that blanket is adorable in each pattern. Fingers crossed that a round up of summery peach lipsticks is still coming up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding the link!
ReplyDeleteThey look perfect for the beach! Thanks for sharing! x

Love those!! But when I click on the link it says the page can't be found :( Could they be sold out and have taken the page down already??
ReplyDeleteAny chance you can post the link again? The page isn't working and I really want to buy one of these blankets!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Love these, we have 3 but we got them in Mexico for $7 a piece at a cute jewelry shop. However our travel costs I suppose make it even out at the end there.
