I had one when I was a baby and carried it with me everywhere. I had it till it literally fell apart several years ago. I have been looking for a replacement for several years now. I found a couple on Ebay similar but people want anywhere from 60 dollars up to 200 and they want shipping too!!. I am sadly terminal now and barely surviving on SSI disability. I also have kids. I am desperately looking for one if anyone can help me. I miss that soft blanket and cold gentle satin. I’m 90% stuck in bed dye to severe pain and can hardly sleep as it is. I’m hoping someone has one lying around or can help me. It’s the one and only thing I really want. ---

I would love one those but sadly it’s way beyond my price range however yes it would suffice. There’s a few on Ebay but again way too high. They want 60 plus 20 in shipping for a blanket that’s used falling apart and almost 50 yrs old =(. I’ll link one below that’s exactly my baby blanket. I was hoping someone would have one hiding in there closet I could just pay shipping for if they could spare it. I’ve been looking a very very long time and being terminal and on SSI disability I’m honestly barely eating. 1.[https://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-BABY-BLANKET-PALE-AQUA-BLUE-FLEECED-ACRYLIC-THERMAL-WAFFLE-WEAVE-NYLON-TRIM/303006751658](https://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-BABY-BLANKET-PALE-AQUA-BLUE-FLEECED-ACRYLIC-THERMAL-WAFFLE-WEAVE-NYLON-TRIM/303006751658) There are a couple more on Ebay but they are even more =( ---

I do appreciate the effort though. I’ve been looking everywhere online. They dont make them anymore I was hoping someone had one hidden 🙂
