ILUV IKEA

Oh, my, I am in love. And I don't think it is a light little crush, although only time will tell.

Emily and I went to IKEA today. What an amazing store! If you've been, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, there's just no way to describe it. It's just...well, you see a pretty, princess-fancy chandelier, with pretty crystals and shiny silver. You think, when I was little I would have died to have that in my room. And then you see the price-tag--$19.99. And you think, my little girl is SO having that lamp in a couple of years. Or kid-sized play tent, just right for playing in the backyard or the playroom, for $9.99. Or the most gorgeous entryway bench, with places to store shoes, mittens, etc., for $39.99...

And play places for the kids. A place to nurse your baby. Fresh-baked, delicious cinnamon rolls for $.99. A full plate of breakfast, with hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, french toast sticks, a four slices of bacon for $1.99. Displays. A map of the store with a place to write down what you want. Little golf pencils. Elevators.

I'll stop, but wow. Time to start saving my pennies, because I am going back. There's an entryway shelf that matches that bench, calling my name...
