Gem and Jo (and Róisin) take on IKEA

So this past week we headed to IKEA to help our friend Róisín get stuff for her 21st birthday party. Róisin is turning 21 at the end of January, so you might think that getting stuff for a party that's not for six months is a bit premature, however Róisín's a nursing student and starts placement next week which then runs up until her party, so she enlisted our help to get some stuff ready before she's run off her feet doing nurse(y) stuff! Plus we love any excuse to go shopping, so with that we all headed off to Ikea!

Róisín with some pots!

Róisín's colour theme is purple and gold so we scoured IKEA for all things gold and purple (which we found a lot of!). We started off looking for things for center pieces and decoration. We found purple candle holders, purple candles, gold and purple fake flowers and these lanterns which  we decided would look good spray painted gold.

                        

Róisín is also planning on having a sweet table at the party so we went looking for glass jars in all different sizes and shapes to put the sweets into! We found loads of them and they were all super inexpensive. None of the jars were over 3 euro which was awesome!

Along with the jars of sweets thought that sweet trees would be a good idea to make so for them we picked up a few of these purple flower pots. 

Over all our trip to Ikea was a success and Róisín got everything she needed to get started with the party preparations!
