Fun Afternoon At Ikea

I bought a chair on Craigslist, and the seller suggested we meet at Ikea Saturday afternoon.

"Sounds great to me", I said.

My husband said he would go with me.

"Yipee", I thought.

We had fun, and I found a couple'a neat items that I thought I would share!

 

First is this great looking pillow cover.  The fabric content is 100% ramie, which has a wonderful rustic appeal...very similar to an old grain sack.  It's a nice, generous size...36", and the insert stripe fabric is sewn in.  Best thing......$13! 

Here's the link although it's not available online:

The next 'find' is a pendant light.  I've been looking for lighting for my guest room which I am working on...not sure what I really wanted.  We found this pendant light with a metal drum shade on sale from $69 to $19.  I think I will cover the shade with burlap or a slubby linen.  It's a nice large size, and I'm sure it will look perfect!  It's only available at stores as well.

 I also found some great looking glasses.  I like all my glassware to match, and somehow my last set has all but disappeared, leaving mismatched assorted ones (where do these odd glasses come from anyway?)

They are a nice thicker glass which I've learned works best in our household.  I love the shape and style.  There are 'rings' around the bottom...kinda hard to see in the pics.

Set of 6 - 16 oz.  $4.99

Set of 6 - 11 oz.  $3.99

Better than the Dollar Store!

I found a few other little 'odds and ends' also.

No matter what your taste or style is, there's always a treasure at Ikea to be found!

Have a safe and happy Labor Day!

Blessings,
