The Original Silky's were born in California in 1987, and were the blankets that I had made for my three children when they were babies. All of my children suffered from asthma and allergies and they needed great soft blankets that were hypoallergenic but still fashionable and unique. Each one loved their Silky so much that every time a friend had a baby I would make them their own special Silky. So once my youngest started school, I decided to offer them to everyone and that is how Cherish and Joy was born.
