Saturday: Je ne sais quoi


My mom and I made a pilgrimage to glorious IKEA this past week in order to fill my new home with some awesome design and essentials at some not-so-steep prices. And honestly, I wish you all could have seen us... my mom broke her ankle not too long ago so she is in a wheel chair. Imagine... woman in a wheelchair + shopping cart + more stuff than fits in a shopping chart + 3 floors of goodies + lots of elevator rides + lots of strange looks from other shoppers = lots of laughs on our part even though we looked a bit like a circus.

Here are just some of the goodies we came home with:

Gislev rug, $19.99
365+ 18-piece Dinnerware Set, $24.99PS Svarva Floor Lamp, on sale $49.99


I really would have preferred to get the white version of this bed, but it cost an extra $80! Nothing a little paint can't fix at some point down the road.

Svalka Wine Glasses (Red and White), $4.99 for six

Nice! I shopping is great therapy and so much fun! How's Aunt Lynn? Poor thing. So, when is the formal house-warming? (Gotta put in my calendar so I don't work!)
Love,
Cousin Courtney :-)

Have fun putting the bed together. I'm putting together the Hopen from Ikea right now. Yikes.
