Yesterday Baby C and I did an Ikea run. Oh, the madness!!! The crowds!!! We walked away with a few of these ornaments that I intend to use as gift tags.
Some of these garlands, in gold. Last year our tree was all silver and gold. I'm going to build on that theme this year. That reminds me, I need to pick up some while ornaments to balance out all that shimmer.
Two packs of these lights came home with us as well. I really love them. And I can think of many ways to use them in Baby C's room once Christmas is over.
I wish I had gotten these candle holders as well! They are so yummy. Totally my cup of tea. But our Ikea doesn't carry them. YET. And by YET I mean that the new and LARGEST IN CANADA Ikea is opening 5 minutes from my house in 3 weeks. I cannot describe to you how excited I am! Watch out, budget, I'm going to get all the things I've had my eye on for years now. Maybe not all at once, though :)
What did you do this weekend?? Are you in the Christmas mood yet?? I'm SOOOOO there! I think we're going to put up our Christmas tree sometime soon. Baby C has been asking and asking and asking for the tree. She's absolutely spellbound by them! This is the first year when she's ready to actively and cognitively participate in the Christmas madness and I can't wait! Must charge up the camera. I will be taking an insane number of pictures :)
I was there on Saturday - between the IKEA sale and the Chapters sale it was indeed madness. My tree is normally silver/blue/white, but this year I'm doing silver/red so I went to IKEA for the red ornaments. I also got those star curtain lights.
ReplyDeleteBTW the IKEA is the largest in all of North America - 1.5km from entrance to cash - now it's not just shopping it's a workout (or that's what I tell hubby)...IKEA is one exit away from my house ;)
So I am definetly in a Christmas state of mind. I know it's early but I have already been playing Christmas music, 95% of my shopping is complete and wrapped which now leaves the decorating and baking and all that fun stuff and maybe planning another EAF oldertimers Christmas Brunch. I want to change my colour for my Christmas tree this year the more I look at your blog, typically it's silver and blue and purple but I bought some beautiful Christmas ornaments last year in green and red and now regretting not picking up some of that that red garland to go with it.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun morning with you and Baby C yesterday!
We're definitely getting in the Christmas spirit over here as well. Planning on putting the tree up the first weekend in December. My almost 3 year old is beyond excited this year and makes me stop at every Christmas tree we see in the stores. I think it's going to be a fun CHristmas with him!
