Ikea, The Pioneer Woman & a Giveaway

Mar 15, 2011 By Layla

Last Friday was f-u-n, fun.

We rode up and down escalators…

…and ate Swedish meatballs and mashed pa-taters…

We tripped out on trays…

…and smiled at striped duvets…

We sipped tea on aisle four…

…and found lots of little goodies, all over the store…

We got hid our hands in our bags, and sang with invisible mics…

We ran into unbelievable prices that made me say “yikes!”

When we were done at Ikea, we headed over to Borders. We sat on the floor, and counted our quarters. (Not really….it just rhymed.)

We met lots of cool folks hanging out in the store…

…and I’ll never forget seeing this guy and his family stroll in through the door…

We had a blast chatting it up with the incomparable Miss Ree…

…and I had her sign an extra copy of her book, with love from TLC…

Want a chance to win it? Just leave a comment on this post and we’ll pick a winner on Friday!

    I love being a military wife and feel especially blessed to be stationed overseas where we can travel and see sights most Americans only dream of. In fact, our local IKEA sits right by Wembley Stadium. How cool is that?! While I love living overseas there are a couple things I miss – Borders and not having the opportunity to see PW in a Borders. But winning an autographed goodie would go a waya toward making up for that! 🙂

    Isn’t Ikea awesome?

    I wish I had been able to go to the book signing myself, since the ATL isn’t too far from me. Alas, work beckoned…. Thanks for giving us loyal followers a chance to win one!
