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!

    Holy guacamole, my BFF Chelsea and I had pretty much the same exact weekend! Except we went straight to Pinkberry, then Borders to meet the delightful Ree and be backgroung photo bombers in Marlboro Man’s admirers’ photos, ate tapas at Twist, and then shopped until we (pretty much literally) dropped at IKEA on Saturday… and we even did the whole meatballs-n-taters thing, too. What a BFF weekend for the books!!!
