I wish IKEA still made their receiving blankets. They were plain white flannel, really big, and typical IKEA cheap. I think they stopped making them around the time Leif was born because we got ours super discount cheap - 3/$1 or something.

They were so nice and big and functional and generally great.

We had way too many, and I always thought I should take up embroidery or something and decorate them for friends having babies.

I wonder how many we'll end up digging out of storage eventually.

The Dollar store that just opened on 8th and Poleline has recieving blankets and onesies and other necessities.

I hadn't thought of that, and we now live just a few blocks from there. I think of them as the cheap pregnancy test store, and forget they have other cheap stuff, too.

I can't imagine they have anything as nice and big as the IKEA blankets, though - I expect I'll have to cut up and hem a flannel sheet for that.
