Pocket Review: Le Petit Reve

When a package you’ve been waiting for finally arrives, you don’t wait and find a pair of scissors, a knife, or anything resembling a sharp object to rip that bag open. Fingers, teeth, the corner of your remote control - anything will do. That’s the wonderful thing about packages that arrive at your doorstep; they can’t be judged based on how they look, because more often than not they look bruised, limp, and left-for-dead like it got into a fight - and lost.

The item in mind here is a blanket for Mandarin. A custom made quilt with vintage floral fabric, white eyelet ruffles held together with organic buttery soft fleece. Now, the imminent cliche that drops in this sentence : it is what is inside that counts. Because the filthy plastic bag that arrived that afternoon opened up to reveal a lovely boutique-style gift, wrapped in Japanese tissue and tied together with pink gingham fabric. Even lovelier was the blanket itself. Perfectly quilted with squares of dainty pink rosebuds, the softest vintage chenille and flannel, the muted colors of the roses - all pulled together with delicate pink lace; I thought twice before unraveling it because it was so pretty.
