Though I've seen Ikea items on Beate's blog before, something hit me. I have lived in Georgia almost five years now and haven't been to an Ikea in all that time. When I left Michigan they had just built one about 30 minutes from my home. My shopping pals and I would go their every other week or so just to go. We hardly ever bought anything of significance, just wanted to be there. It's so cheery at Ikea ! Thinking of this pulled my heartstrings a bit. I love Ikea, miss Ikea and will now make it a point to stop by the next time I'm in Atlanta. It's about 75+ miles from where I live.
After closing my laptop I headed out to take a box of items to the Salvation Army and to stop by the market. I dropped the box off in the back of the building then parked to go inside. Why not ? The strangest thing... There were four out-of-the-ordinary yet lovely bowls just sitting, waiting for me to check them out. Okay I thought, I like them, they fit in with my dishes. I turned them over and lo' and behold, they were IKEA bowls. I mean really, what are the odds that this would happen. Believe me when I tell you that this is out of the ordinary. I would call this a fairly unsophisticated area and it is on rare occasion that nice name brand items come through resale. I know that sounds bad but It's true.
Love them !
Love them !
Love them !
So thank you Beate ! This was great fun for me. If you are a resale shopper you understand.
Now what would call this ? I mean Beate posting about Ikea and me stepping out and finding Ikea in a place where you NEVER see it? There has to be a name for it. It's some kind of cosmic physic something.
It's That Time...
My Iris are blooming.
My Roses are here ! This is no surprise though because they were even blooming even in December !
Enjoy your day !
