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!

    Hi!

    My name is Brittany, I’m 24 and I’m moving into to my first apartment after college this weekend!!!! I love your blog, I’ve been able to gather so much design inspiration! Between you and Ree your blogs really embody everything I enjoy from cooking to decorating and doing it yourself! I really look up to both of you as you are both strong women who know what they like and want in life! I can’t wait to see more amazing ideas from you and recipes from Ree. I would be ecstatic to win this signed book to add + show off in my new place!

    Thanks,
    Brittany
