Thursday Thrift Find

Lime green canvas with bright blue trim tossed on the floor with six black metal rods toss on top of the canvas. I noticed many people bend over to see the price tag. Curious or perhaps just nosey I pushed my cart over and bent down to see the Goodwill price tag of $19.99. I moved several of the rods to see if I could figure out what the heck it was. Buried beneath several rod was a plastic bag with some papers, instructions with a photo.


Did you ever find something at a thrift store that you didn't need or want, but you had that certain feeling that it was something good? Well, that is the feeling I had and so I loaded up those heavy metal rods into my cart and wheeled it to the front cash wrap for purchase.


I very rarely make this expensive of a purchase at a thrift store unless it is a piece of furniture. Before I laid down my hard earned cash, I made sure to ask about the return policy. Returns within ten days with receipt and you get store credit. I paid for my new found treasure, loaded it into my car and scurried home to put it together.

After about twenty minutes and a phone call to my friend for some help it was assembled. 

Here it is my HugglePog HangOut by Hearth Song.



What an awesome spot for my grandchildren to snuggle into and read, relax or tell secrets to one another. 


In addition to the large oval opening it has three round windows and around the inside top are lights that operate with 3 AA batteries, no photos of the lights. :((


I did a quick Google search and found that this items sell for $199.00, and I only paid $19.99! I love junkin'!!!

I would never have paid the retail price for this item. Is it cool, yep, but I just don't spend $199.00 on toys for my grands. I so excited to show the children, looking forward to having them over to enjoy it. ❤️
