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!

    Ni faurs!

    OK, that was really supposed to read “No fairs!”, but my fingers were all wonky on the keyboard, and then I just thought it was funny, so I kept it.

    🙂

    Aren’t you glad you know me????

    I would love to go to IKEA with you gals! You look like you had an absolute blast. I’ve only been a couple times, I’ve been thinking I need to make the 2 hour trek and go again. Thanks for the nudge!

    I love signed books. A local Borders used to have tons of great readings/signings – but after having kids, I didn’t have free evenings anymore. Would love to win this – great giveaway!

    We don’t have an Ikea around here!! It’s a shame. 🙂 I’m jealous of y’all meeting Ree, too, I didn’t get to make it to her signing in Dallas…I wish she would come to my town!!

  37. Jennifer M

    Mar 16, 2011 at 12:29 pm

    I love to watch the women come off the elevator at Ikea. We are all so excited to be there! So much to see! So much potential! So much under $20! Whee! I’d love to win the book, too! Thanks! 🙂

  38. Laurie Ann

    Mar 16, 2011 at 12:33 pm

    Oh, I could kick myself for not attending Ree’s book-signing — I live in Huntsville (I’m fairly new here) and didn’t want to trek to Atlanta alone. I love the story your fun images tell — ah, Ikea, looks like I’m going to make that drive soon, hopefully with my husband in tow to load up our truck with home goods.

  39. Deborah

    OMG, I just began reading her blog recently. She has the perfect life (and we live in the same state) how about that! I would dearly love to win a signed copy of her book FROM YOU. Reading your blog starts little fires of wish-I-could-do-that-too hopefulness in my heart.
