If someone ever asks me what super power I would like to have I am leaning towards growing an additional 6 arms. Honestly, think about how much you could get done with 8 arms! I would be able blog with 2 hands, email with another 2, paint with 1, cook dinner with the other 2 and change a diaper all at the same time!
But I am sure the wardrobe for someone with 8 arms isn't all that cute since I'm sure your options would be limited. So maybe I will go back to saying mind reading or invisibility.
However, 8 arms is very cute when it is in the form of a pillow embroidered with a big blue octopus! I took the next jump in thrifting recently when I brought this pillow home for $5 (don't worry, no bedbugs here! I put it through the wash machine on Sanitize twice).
About 5 years ago I wouldn't have dreamed I needed anything at a thrift store, 3 years ago I would have told you you were crazy if you told me I'd every buy clothes at one, and up until just last week I cringed whenever walking by the blankets and pillows. Never say never! Because this baby happily resides in my almost-finished office as my thrifting badge of honor.
So since I only have 2 hands I am sorry this took so long to announce, but along with 'never saying never' I also believe in 'better late than never'.

That pillow is adorable! I've never had a problem buying clothing and household items from thrift stores. I always wash them well before using them, even if they still have tags on them and are probably unworn. I do hesitate when it comes to pillows...but so far, so good!
So CUTE!! Im still iffy on things I cant wash, but that looks brand spankin new!
LOL! My sister DID get bedbugs!! (from a hotel). Now she washes, dries, AND sticks EVERYTHING in the freezer for 5 days, yuck!! That pillow is way cute!!

The pillow looks really nice against the material on your chair. Very beachy & natural.
Well I literally loved your sweater!!I mean its really cool!!
I'm catching up on Life in the Fun Lane after a few weeks away. I LOVE that pillow! You may be reinspired me to thrift again. I hit a dry spell - as in didn't find anything good in months - so I gave it up. I think it's time to try again!
