Score!

Today, I made a trip to Ikea to grab a few items for a bridal shower I’m planning this Saturday. I kind of have an obsession with Ikea. I mean, there are so many great items (although not always the most durable) for awesome prices. I found some sweet deals on a lot of stuff I needed and I probably could have found a ton more to shove into my cart, providing there was any room left.

The shower items are as follows:
1. 30 Wine Glasses – I probably looked a little funny leaving the store with so many of these, but in my defense, I do like wine and I could have always said that I was planning on using a different glass every day for a month. Because I’m not a wino.
2. 48 Glass Tea Light Holders – Only $1.99/12 = Score!
3. 100 White Tea Lights – Really, you can never have too many tea lights. Really.
4. 3 Tall Rectangular Glass Vases – A vase is a vase.
5. 1 Black Lantern – For my patio, not the shower. $6.99 = Score!
6. 1 Package of Green Napkins
7. 4 Packages of Faux Apple Blossoms – An apple a day…

Since we made such great time, we had a few moments to pop into the Pottery Barn Outlet on the way home. I have been searching for the right throw pillows for my living room for quite awhile now, to no avail. I don’t know if it is because I’m just too picky or if I was just waiting for that perfect combo of price and pretty. Lucky for me, 2 of these puppies were waiting for me in the back of the store and one look at the price tag ($10.97) had me walking out with a huge bag of pillows in my hand. Even though they are simple and easy going, they had me at hello.
