Yesterday some friends and I took our babies and headed down to our local IKEA for a day out. They do really cheap and tasty hot meals in the cafe, and great coffee in the bistro. Plus there are toy centres and play lands scattered through out the store. It has all the makings for a perfect day out. And yesterday did not disappoint.
I could not have asked for more perfect timing. We got their, played a bit, had some lunch, e picked out some toys and then she went to sleep in her stroller. For 2.5 hours. And I had baby free shopping time! £70 later we had some coffee and headed home. It was an awesome day, causing my love of IKEA to only grow stronger.
I have taken a picture of two of my favourite purchases. Cloth veggies for ele to put in her kitchen...
And a lampshade for e's new room in America.
I know we don't even have a house yet, let alone a room, but the shade is awesome! I left the plastic on it because we are shipping our stuff and I wanted it to stay nice. It is white with hand embroidered flower designs. I love it!
I also came away with a few more toys (hey they were only £1!) and some baskets for our bathroom in America. Apparently I am planning ahead! ha, I just couldn't help myself. I love IKEA.
What about you guys? Like IKEA or think it is cheap crap? Let's here what you have to say.

i love ikea. in our first apartment in palestine, it was basically furnished by ikea stuff. all the furniture in hiba's room was from there, and pretty much everything besides our couches and bed was from there. and it held up just fine. i love the lamp shade! hiba had one very similar to it when we were over there - now i'm sad we didn't ship it. i always loved ikea outings. i wish there was one closer than dallas - but when you move here, we can road trip to go to it. ;-)
I LOVE IKEA. My stuff from there is all fine. Our office/guest room is all IKEA, we've got a kitchen cabinet from there, two couches in our living room and probably most of our baby furniture will come from IKEA as well.
