Atlanta Trip to IKEA

Hi y'all!

I am back, exhausted, but still alive.

Didn't think I would, but I missed visiting with y'all

while I was gone.

For those of you that have never been to IKEA,

(or Atlanta)

I thought you might like a little tour.

Atlanta is a BIG city.

Everywhere we looked there were things being created.

Pretty  monuments and buildings.

After we arrived at IKEA,

it took my sister and I

three hours to get through the store.

Your trip will be quicker--

first stop, the cafe'.

It's big, too.

Our lunches that we shared.

My veggie wrap was only $2.99.

Next stop, Kid's Spaces.

Next area, Home Goods.

Bamboo-hoo-hoo.

Some rooms.

Some chairs.

Some Entertainment Units.

More rooms.

My sister NEEDED this, she said.

I said, I don't LIKE doing this.

Got organization?

Piles of this and that.

And violence.

The sign tells us to throw Irma.

Rugs, rugs, and more rugs.

Reusable grocery/shopping bags!

Maybe they are or maybe they aren't Floor uplights.

(read the sign).

Have you ever seen so many lampshades?

This is a chandelier!

Twigs and sticks and such.

They were even selling pineapples!

No excuses not to be tidy.

Bamboo tile flooring.

AS-IS (Clearance) section.

You KNOW I checked this out.

After a lovely weekend of 

eating and talking 

and 

eating and talking 

and 

eating and talking

with my sisters,

I came home to Greenville.

Ready for a nap,

and hugs and kisses from my hubby and girls,

which I got in abundance!

I'll bet you are wondering what I got.

It's not exciting, but here it is.

2 pillows ($ .99 each), 

which I will be making something for the guest room out of,

5 bud vases ($1.99 each),

 3 plants ($2.59 each) 

and 

3 pots ($1.49 each) 

for the terrarium,

a rug ($5.99)

for the guest room, and 

Swedish dark chocolate ($ .99 each)

which is delicious!

I hope you had fun

on this whirlwind tour.

Tomorrow is the start of the giveaway.

Some hints:

Birds,

Vintage postcards,

nest.

Look at the birds of the air; 

they do not sow or reap or store 

(things from Ikea) 

away in barns, 

and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. 

Are YOU not much more valuable than they?
