On Labor Day my dear husband surprised me with a family day trip to Atlanta. We walked around Atlantic Station, shopped at Ikea, ate, and rode the mini train. A trip to Ikea may have thrown off my shopping hiatus technically, but I paid all in cash and it was all for the house and kiddos. I even stuck to my needs list and if it weren't for my husband I would have spent even less, ha. Needless to say I am thrilled with my finds and can't wait to share. We then hit the Peachtree Mall and I did not want to shop at all. So weird I know. We then drove around and looked at all all the great architecture. Next time we go sans kiddos I definitely want to hit this shop and Pieces.

It's funny bc I usually spend more when my hubby is there with me too. I love it!!
Great photos!
Sounds liek a great trip! Eager to see what you got!
Thanks for tips on shopping in Atlanta. I live about 2 hours away but I don't know enough to really know where to shop so I loved the tips from Smitten Design. thanks!
Sounds like you had a lot of fun! Good girl!
Gotta Love Ikea! Sounds like a great Labor day trip!
O.k. I want to see what you bought at Ikea but please no more spiders. Can't believe you came face to face with that guy. I have chills.
those spiders seem to be out in droves - my sister has one that has decided her front door is the best location ever. every time she chases it away - it comes back.
sounds like a fantastic trip:)
A day trip, huh? We must live pretty close! I'm glad it was a nice day and can't wait for you to visit Pieces!! It's one of my faves (I'm orig. from ATL) Check out my recent post on Pieces...if you'd like!
What a sweet husband you have!
I was doing yard work a few weeks ago and found that same kind of spider making a beautiful web on one of my windows outside... :)
Gorgeous photos, they both have amazing focus :)
Love this post

I am proud of your shopping hiatus abilities!!! Usually I can't control myself in Ikea. I am impressed you stuck to just needs!
that is a really cool looking spider and i'm very glad you did not run into it! cooling looking and then it touching you...not a good combo in my mind...cool looking to me screams scary poisen filled spider!
that sounds like such a lovely day!
Good for you for your shopping haitus! Sounds like a fun trip!
P.S. that's one scary spider!
Well done on keeping to your 'need' list. I think your doing a great job and wish I could have more self control. ugh to the spider.
those flowers from your garden are amazing. and the spider made me shudder. i keep finding so many bugs at my house; it's horrible.
Sounds like an absolutely lovely weekend; you're a lucky gal!
what a wonderful day! your flowers are lovely, and that spider is creepy--eeee!--and amazing at the same time.
