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 found the Pioneer Website through your previous post… and OH. MY. H.E.DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS! I was up until 1:00 this morning going through it and loving EVERYTHING I SAW!!! Hubby on the other hand wasn’t such a fan of having my lamp on that long, but I couldn’t help it!! I’m Addicted!! I love photography and design, and blogging has become a HUGE part of my life. (personal and business) I would love love LOVE to have a copy of this book. Boo Ya! Baby! And Hubby would be stoked to have another long night (read: early morning) of my lamp on. lol. I’m not sure this classifies as a comment anymore, but emails are nice too right? anybody? Bueller?
