Claim:
A decorative assembly for securely holding a blanket in place during outdoor use, said assembly comprising: at least one anchor comprising an elongated and rectilinear stake section provided with a rectilinear spine traveling along an entire longitudinal length of said stake section and defined along a posterior wall thereof, said stake section having a pair of monolithically formed shoulders diverging forwardly and away from said spine, said shoulders each including rectilinear edges equidistantly spaced from said spine and positioned anterior thereof so that said stake section defines an elbow-shaped cross-section suitable for submerging the blanket below a ground surface and thereby holding the blanket at a substantially stable position during inclement weather conditions, said stake section having a coupling monolithically formed with a top end thereof, said coupling having a rigid front face and an open rear face, and a clamp section directly connected to said coupling such that said clamp section can be selectively pivoted about a fulcrum axis defined orthogonal to said spine, said clamp section being pivotal between horizontal and vertical positions defined by said front and rear faces of said coupling respectively; wherein said clamp section is provided with a cup holder monolithically formed therewith for supporting a beverage bottle at an elevated position above the ground surface when said clamp section is adapted to the horizontal position.
