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!

    This book I would love to win,
    Consider me in.
    I would make another rhyme,
    but alas, I am out of time.
    This post has been fun,
    but I gotta run.

    What a fun day you had. I’m envious. I have been wanting to go to Ikea again with friends for months but just can’t coordinate with everyone’s schedules. Love your poem….I tend to do that with birthday and Christmas gifts and have to throw in something random just so it’ll rhyme too.

    What a great giveaway!! Hope I win!!
