New Ikea spring line up

Have you seen the new spring line up? I have to say Ikea has stepped it up on the cottage farmhouse look.
 Here's a peek at some of the new spring stuff.


come to MAMA!!!!!! Hurry april hurry!
 First of all the faucet will be mine. I already have the apron sink from Ikea, It was meant to go in our old cottage. It never got put in, so I have been storing it. So now I am going to get this faucet to go with it. I think I am in love.....haha
 This trolly is O to sweet it also comes in black .  This would be great in a kitchen or bathroom.
 This is so for my bedroom. What a beautiful laundry basket.  This will also be on my pick up list.
Cute farmhouse table and the light fixture this  is also in the spring line up. Could that fixture be any sweeter?

Daffodil's in a blue mason Jar

Here are some beautiful daffodil's I picked yesterday and put in a blue mason jar.





If your wondering about the J. Elaine Photography~ That's my photography name on facebook


You don't have to spend a lot of money to make things look beautiful. I used a old blue mason jar! you could use a coffee cup ~ teacup~ or even a glass. 
Simple beauty

What I saved on this week

Another Goodwill or as I like to call it (The Will) deal!  Found these Knife dividers/holders  sitting on a shelve just waiting for me! Brand new..  total score



Two of them were .99 cents and one was 1.99 Williams-Sonoma

The large one was 34.95 new
The small ones were 19.95 new


That's 54.90 if bought in the store new.  I scored them for 3.00 still in the wrappers! Total savings= 51.90
