Bijou’s Christmas Gift Posted by samaree

It’s hard to find dog clothes for a 30 pound dog. I guess manufacturers and stores think only 4 pound dogs get cold or want to be fashionable.

This dress was a surprise for me and Bijou. Michael found it at the Christmas Tree Store and it was only $3.99! The top is white with black ringer and sleeves, a skinny patent belt and a pink and white houndstooth check skirt. I’m impressed that Michael found a pink skirt as he is tragically colorblind. This was a wonderful gift and thrifty, too.

(Check out my messy living room! We are in a transitional period now because we need to move soon, but that doesn’t stop me from dumpster diving for new furniture.)

Kamilah says, “What kind of lame ass bamboo prison is this?”

We needed a new piece of office furniture after Michael finally convinced me to let him pitch out our dilapidated futon. I wanted to move the chaise from the bedroom to the office and then put a chair in the corner as an alternate bed for Kamilah.

This is my second papasan chair. The first (including black cushion) was purchased this Spring at Salvation Army for $22. This frame (sans cushion) was free next to the dumpster in the apartment complex.

I wondered what to use for a new cushion and had the bright idea to use a sleeping bag. I bought a navy one at Salvation Army for $2.50.

I made the mistake of laying it over Michael as he lounged on the couch last night. He claimed it for couch napping and nights when my snoring drives him from the bedroom. I pointed out the pink and blue flannel lining. He said, “I’m okay with that” and burrowed in further.

So I’m on the hunt for another sleeping bag or really large pillow in nice condition.

Update: I found another sleeping bag at Goodwill a few weeks later. It was also navy but kid sized (my size!), with a red and blue flannel lining. It makes a great replacement cushion for the second papasan in the bedroom which is for Kamilah’s use only. Plus, the sleeping bags can actually be used when we go camping.
