The other day, I received my 2012 IKEA catalog in the mail!
First of all, I was excited because it's always great to get something that is not a bill, but also because I really like perusing this catalog. It gives me lots of great ideas. And because most things are a steal!
I don't love everything at IKEA, but there is a lot of great stuff there!
Like the Children's Tableware...6 cups for $2! And these babies are tough. We've had some for years and the only thing I don't like about them is that they aren't all blue, because everyone wants the blue one for some reason. And not the light blue one. The DARK blue one.
I also love this couch. I do not own this couch, but I've always admired it from afar. Actually, anything with a white slipcover on it is awesome in my book.
I also do not own this chair. But I think that 4 or 5 of them would look neat on a patio or deck with pillows.

I love this rug. Love.
I also love SOME of their fabric. Some of it is a little weird. It is. But there is still some good stuff there.
I recently bought some scissors there as well and they. are. awesome! And were only $6! So I got the pinking shears too! For $7! Have you ever priced pinking shears, ladies? They are more than $7, I can tell you that.
And their baskets. are. excellent.
Here's what I have decided about IKEA: You have to be selective, but for the most part, they have some great stuff!
What have you bought from IKEA?

My biggest deal from IKEA was when I was decorating for my sis-in-law's wedding I got lantern style candle holders for $1 and some small tealight/candlestick candle holders for $0.50. Also, got all the boxes and the big square shelf unit for my craft room. And I love the bookcases in my family room. Uhmm, I could go on, but I think that's enough.
I like Ikea, but I find it overwhelming. I wish I could go pick up something quick, but it's a rat's maze and I am not a smart rat. I usually get so frustrated trying to find my way around, that I just leave when I find the exit. I need an Ikea shopping buddy.
