Hat tips to the Portland Business Journal for alerting me to this holiday/cold weather must-have: the new Pendleton Star Wars blankets (designed by Derek Roberts). Pendleton Woolen Mills has teamed up with Disney and Lucasfilm to help promote the upcoming The Force Awakens flick, because… well, I’m not sure why anyone does anything. WHATEVER THE REASON, the team up has produced some awesome and cozy blankets featuring that distinctive Pendleton style with your fave Star Wars characters. Check ’em out!

The blankets are $249 each, or $1,200 if you want all four. But snap ’em up! Apparently there are only roughly 1,000 left of each blanket, and your horse will look fantastic in one of these! Read more detail here, and GET ‘EM HERE.

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)
