I don’t get out a lot these days, but had a great adventure this morning. My DIL is sort of moving here. (Son has retired and renovating my parents house – she’s still working in St. Louis and they’re letting her work from Alabama part of the time). Anyway, she’s looking for a loveseat, so we hit most of the thrift stores close by (not that many).
No, we didn’t find a loveseat (except one that was already sold 🙁 ), BUT we managed to find a variety of other things.
Most of my purchases were throw pillows, though I did find a sweater and a vest. But, Do I need more throw pillows – NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. It’s all her fault, she kept showing them to me.
-
- Fuzzy – I’m a sucker for anything fuzzy.
-
- LOVE lavender – and with sparkly silver – couldn’t resist
-
- Then there’s a gold elephant. Sparkle + elephant – oh yeah, this one came home with me.
-
- Since I don’t have enough elephants
Pillows on my bed – the yellow and turquoise ones (2 of my favorite colors) in the back were also brought home today.
And, of course I already have a ‘few’ Christmas pillows.
-
- Stoney Creek cross stitch redbird – stitched many years ago.
-
- Cute little fuzzy snowman pillow
-
- Sweet poinsettia pillow was a gift from a friend years ago.
-
- Cross stitch pillow accompanied by a cute polar bear
Maybe my favorite Christmas pillow is my “Mola” pillow that I got in Panama in 1985 when Chuck was there with his job and I got to spend a month with him.
And, I found a Christmas present for Koda today. He loves to scrumple up my throw and bury his head in it – so now he has his own.
Not sure if that’s a pomeranian or a corgi – but we’ll just go with Pomapoo

- Snuggling on his new blanket
I think he likes it and I had a lovely day!!!
