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!

    It looks like you guys had a blast! I’ve been dying to hit up an Ikea for a long time, but unfortunately, there aren’t any in my area (or even within a reasonable day’s drive). Looking at your pictures makes me hope we can find one on our next roadtrip!!

    I would love to win a copy!! I was all set to go to her book signing in Dallas, but it fell smack dab on when we were totally ripping apart our house, so no cigar! Looks like y’all had a blast!

    Mar 16, 2011 at 8:19 am

    I don’t think a day could be much more fun than that! I’d love Ree to come Down Under again, this time to do a book tour . . . you could come too and tell me how to “fix” my living room!!!

  48. Angelique

    Mar 16, 2011 at 8:19 am

    Ooh, I’d love to win Ree’s new book! When her cookbook came out, I went to one of her signings and got it autographed. 🙂 Also chatted for a few seconds with Marlboro Man (and had him sign his behind…).

    P.S. I lived across the street from that IKEA for a summer a few years ago! Loved it! Every once and a while I would just walk over there to get dinner and wander around the super cute set-ups. 🙂
