Customer Testimonial
I love it when I hear positive feedback on the products at the Blue Ridge Eco Shop. A customer just sent me this one from the recipient of the Under the Nile Swaddling Blankets she gifted as a baby gift:
"I also want to thank you again for the baby blankets. They are so incredibly soft. My husband thought they were fleece but when I told him they were from you and were organic cotton, he grinned and just said, "hmm. I like them." Ava loves them even more. They are by far her favorite blanket to be swaddled in. Prior to and even during being pregnant, I thought that a blanket was just a blanket and that you can never have too many of them. But now that I actually have to use them, yours are just fantastic and I don’t want to use any of the others. So, if you have to buy any of your friends a baby gift in the near future, please buy them those blankets and tell them that I highly recommend them!"
