I did? Oh, ok. :)
Today especially, I'm loving their affordable prices, cute home goods, and delish food!

Well I was really excited to take tons of pics of my purchases and share them with you...
and then I realized you might find most of it boring!
{not that I find it boring! I was giddy allll day with my purchases!}
I really just stocked up on some much needed simple stuff. It might be appropriate to say we've been on a spending freeze {even for basic things!} for quite some time now :D
So today, I'm loving these simple things:
So today, I'm loving these simple things:
5pack of pillar candles. Boring, I know! But I needed to switch out my votives. And now, my coffee table and candle tray aren't as dusty as they look in this photo!
$.99 placemats! Simple white linen...love them!
{see...I told you I just got simple stuff.}
and not so excitingly pictured:
-spray bottle. Our new training toy for Jersey. No more barking little lady!
-green dish scrubbers.
-green paper towel holder.
-salad spinner. O.M.G. I've wanted one of these forever but could never rationalize buying one and never found one at Goodwill. Thanks, Ikea! $2.43 is right up my alley!
-kitchen timer. Its so cute and green. {Notice a theme?}
-white picture frame. Still collecting for my one-day gallery wall.
-Candle dishes.
-Apple cinnamon candle.
-and I picked up a couple bamboo shoots, rocks, and a fun red ceramic pot for a friend.
But I was most excited about this...
my soon-to-be organization rack! I think I'm going to hang the bar over the kitchen sink. The two ceramic holders will hang from it, along with a colorful dish towel and maybe some utensils? I'm so excited! I've been drooling over these fun organizational racks for so long now!
Here is a drool-worthy example...
I wish my kitchen looked like that!!!
So, that was my Ikea trip! I'm loving that is was a short and easy car ride, great times with the family, and some exciting {to me!} purchases. Its the little things, right? :)
Happy Wednesday!

My husband had been there a few times to he just ran through the place (we only needed a lamp) but I could have spent a week there- I now have created my dream house, and i dream of it often!

I love that organizing rack! I'm sure it will look fabulous in your kitchen :-)
You also reminded me that I really need some place-mats. I'm going to Ikea in a few weeks, so I'm getting them then :-)
Great finds! I have a salad spinner and sadly I never use it anymore. Totally would have given it to you..if we lived closer of course. haha Glad you got your IKEA fix.
