Ikea & Pyrex.

I love Ikea.

I don't go there often enough but every time I do I'm so happy with the deals I find there.

I went this weekend to buy a kid's table and chairs for outside. 

I wasn't happy with the ones at Toys R Us and the Pottery Barn ones are awesome but ridiculously priced.

So Ikea I went.

Here's what I found...

It's plastic, it's durable, and the colors are nice and bright. 

Perfect.

Of course I didn't just shop the kids section, I had to make my way through the whole store.

Which then led me to wanting a total remodel of our kitchen. 

On second thought maybe I shouldn't have gone through the entire store, but I'm glad I did because I couldn't pass up some great deals.

 Storage Tins: $2.99 (for all 3!)

I have no idea what I'm going to use them for, but I love the design and colors, so I couldn't leave them behind.

Ice Cream Sand Toys: $2.99

Mango Scented Candle: $1.99

Seriously, I can't pass up a toy that makes dessert, plus we need new sand toys.

And this candle makes me want to lay in hammock on a tropical beach.

I can dream.

Planter: $1.99

I needed a new pot for my plant and this was just the right size.

And for that cheap price I had to get it. 

I also got some practical stuff for the house but nothing fancy and fun to show.

Bottom line, go to Ikea and get yourself some fun stuff on the cheap.

**************************

I have an obsession with bowls. 

New, old, expensive, cheap. 

You name it, I love them.

Ask my husband, our cupboards are full of them. 

What I don't have is the primary colored set of Pyrex mixing bowls...until now.

My sister found a set at a garage sale this weekend and bought them for me.

Do you see that price tag? Only 30 bucks!

I saw the same set, in just about the same condition a few days ago for $55.

Not too bad.

I'm super excited to add these to my growing collection.

Now, if only I could figure out where to put them.
