African Bright Stripe brings colour and warmth

There was a good deal of excitement as we unpacked the African Bright Stripe blankets at Homefront. Here is Brooke with this joyously coloured mohair blanket (or throw). It is just perfect for Hanukkah, Christmas or Wedding Registry. They will all be here very soon.
