The Ikea Experience

Today Shaunie, the girls and I went shopping at Ikea. It was Shanie's early birthday trip. Last year when she saw the dishes at Ikea I told her that would be our birthday present to her. Since she will be in Washington for her birthday this worked out well. If you haven't shopped Ikea yet it's a must, the prices are great & they have neat home accessories & furniture for inside & outside the home. They are a Swedish company & have stores worldwide, we lived by one in Southern California. These are Shaunie's new dishes. Service for six in black & white stoneware. The two bowls in the foreground have borders of polka dots. We bought 3 serving bowls the two white ones have a single flower in them the other is black.


Here is another great find I picked up for Emily. They are little dog butt hooks and will look real cute in a laundry or mud room. They were $1.99 a piece. I also bought a set of Strikt (magazine holders) to match the brown fabric CD boxes in my office & a set of Klas (children's dishes) in rainbow colors. They come in a set of six bowls, six plates, six cups & service for six eating utensils. Each set is $1.99 and they are microwave & dishwasher safe.
While we shopped we went to the Ikea cafeteria at lunch, parked our carts while Shaunie and I ate Chicken Marsala and Jilly & Evelyn ate Macaroni & Cheese. Ikea is a family friendly experience, it's worth the trip to Draper, Utah. Check it out the next time you are in the neighborhood.
