Thrifting pink

On By wanderingcatyarns

A while back, Dave and I were at the Re-Store and we came across this amazing couch.

It was in near perfect condition… and even though it was only $75, Dave said I couldn’t bring it home. So cruel.

I was sad.

But a couple weeks later… we came across this on the side of the road.

I suspect I was only allowed to bring it home, because his grandmother had one just like it. He wanted to bring that one home after she passed – but it was really worn out and not worth saving.

This one was in much better condition and while it wasn’t a pink sofa, I was happy to settle for a free pink chair.

Of course, once I got it home, it immediately got claimed. And not just by one cat – every time I turn around, at least one of the four is in it. And sometimes two!

And of course, that means it’s just COVERED in cat hair. I needed something to protect it. I had planned on making a little quilted pad for it. But last week, when we were out thrifting again, I came across someone else’s creation.

A perfect sized little baby quilt! It was definitely hand made, and didn’t look like it had every been used! I was more than happy to snap it up and bring it home to be appreciated.

Just purrfect!

  1. Ahh, Purrfect indeed! You know, almost everything in our home is blessed with cat hair. You should see the backside of the floor-length drapes covering the sliders. Dad says he could make another whole me out of the furs trapped there. Oh, and my mom and dad just love ReStore for browsing and donating.
