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!

    I love Ikea. I just wish it was not a 150 mile drive. I am also a biig fan of Ree Drummond. I remember the good old days when you would have maybe 700-800 comments on a contest post. Plus she cooks food my hubby likes.

  38. Leslie

    Mar 16, 2011 at 8:44 am

    Worlds colliding!!! I love it when bloggers I love get together! (Although it makes me really, really want to be there!) I have both of Ree’s books and love them, but I’d pass mine along if I won the autographed copy! Glad you had a good time! (Oh how I wish there was an Ikea in my vicinity!)

  39. Whitney
