Thrifted Vintage Blanket and Afghan Collection -1970s Retro Home
Here are my favorite thrifted vintage crochet blankets and afghans. I’m really proud of my retro blanket collection! When I leave a thrift store I almost always have a vintage blanket in hand. They spark so much joy for me and I always make sure to have squishy armchairs with plenty of throw blankets on top. Remember to like and subscribe if you enjoyed my video!

My vintage crochet blankets really complete my colorful 1970s inspired home. I love searching through thrifts shops for the perfect retro blanket for my eclectic living room. I hope this video inspires you to get to your local thrift store to find your next thrift find!

Absolutely love the colors on these blankets! Such a fun collection.
I have some crochet blankets and some old antique quilts. I quilt so it’s fun to collect the old ones!
Woww, mi abuela los teje pero en versión pequeña, es muy hermoso todo 🤭, a tejer se a dicho 😁👌
I would love to see a video on your vintage towels if you have any! Soooo sweet that your mom found your favorite blanket for you. I love Shirley Temple, and my Mom gave me a thrifted blue honeycomb depression glass pitcher with her picture on it. It was part of a Kellogg’s promotion in the 30’s. Knowing that my Mom thought of me when she found it makes me love it that much more!!
My fave is the chevron because I inherited one from my grandmother!! Also, I’m subscriber #666- I don’t know what that means but I promise I come in peace! Longtime insta follower of yours finally making my way to your YouTube channel! Thanks for all your sweet and joyous vintage sharing!
I love them all!! I have a collection also 🙂 how do you recommend to wash them ?
Wow love your video. I follow you on Insta and it’s great you are on Youtube now. I just read about how to wash vintage sheets on your blog. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom🌸🤩😘
Ooh! If you ever get rid of that aqua one, let me know! I have a chronic illness were weighted blankets, are helpful, and it’s my favorite colors🎉
Oooo my favorite has to be the daisies! I have seen huge afghans just like that, but never managed to snag one… yet! 🌼🌼🌼
Awesome afghan collection
Omg I looooove your collection of afghans 😍 all of mine are from my gramma. Your vintage style is sooo fun 🤩
We have many. My son who is now 13 loved afghans when he was a baby. Family gave him a lot that were made by his great grandma. His favorite was one of the last ones she made. (She passed 3years before he was born) but it started falling apart since it wasn’t that tight since grandmas hands didn’t work as well as they once did. Thankfully he has an awesome 2nd cousin who took many many pictures took it all apart and put back together and even added to it so it fit his 3 or 4 year old self so he had many more years with blankey. It’s put up now for his kids. But will get out sometimes when he isn’t feeling well. But he doesn’t know I know he does this. I let it be his secret.
Daisy’s are my favorite flower. Now I’m on the hunt for one. If you find another one let me know I will buy it from you. I like in Grand Rapids so not far.
I love them all! The blanket I’m always looking for is an afghan with crochet frogs. Never find those 😞
Hi Emily, thank you for taking us on your blanket/afghan tour. I love them all. I should put you on my blanket/afghan will when I’m long gone. Trust me, my kids won’t want them. 😂😭😳😩☹️😉🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I love all of these sooooo much! Like wooooow!!!!
I truly feel that you can never have too many comfort items and blankets. I also love to look for deals on crocheted items at the thrift store. I feel like I am rescuing something that was created out of love.
Happy national granny square day. Too funny that you posted your video on the day that it’s national granny square day.
wow, a beautiful collection,..thanx for sharing.
I love the mint and pink blanket!!
Beautiful blankets love it thanks for sharing.
I love your colorful blankets! The daisy is my favorite,too!
You could try adding dye to the light pink blanket
i adore how colourful your home is :]
Love all the afghans!
Love cozy blankets! Great collection! So beautiful!!!
Oh my gosh that crochet daisy blanket. Love
Love your collection! My job is estate sales and I see a lot of afghans and yours are wonderful ❤
The mint & pink is my favorite!!
Omg, you have such an amazing collection. As for your question about cutting up vintage handmade blankets, I am an avid knitter and crocheter and to me the idea of giving pieces new life is wonderful.
New viewer here. I love the concept of an afghan dress but don’t know how it would work since cutting into one would most likely make the stitches ravel.
Emily, thank you for sharing you’re fun blanket collection! My favs were the daisy and the granny square! ❤️
I love handmade blankets theyre so beautiful and have so much work put into them. The daisy blanket is so beautiful
