Ikea

We happen to be lucky enough to have an Ikea store about 3 miles from our home.  We don't go often, but when we do go, it's usually a fun and amusing trip.

Ikea has just about anything you might want.  It's a department store that's true to the name department.  You can buy all kinds of furniture, linens, kitchenwares, art, lighting, I could go on and on.  The fun part is seeing items that you wouldn't see in other stores and the names that go with them.  Ikea uses it Swedish names for darn near everything.  Just trying to pronounce some of them can be a gigglefest all in it's self.  I'm looking to redecorate and reoutfit my sewing room.  Some of the wilder names of products I looked at were: Agerum, Leksvik, Lysvik & Kavalkad. 

Ikea makes a great rainy day outing.  It can take you hours to go through the whole store (it's laid out so that you follow the arrows and you see EVERYTHING) and if you get hungry, you can hit their restaurant and have a plate of swedish meatballs.  Fun, Fun, Fun!....Bunny

1  Nic and I went there one morning last month, for the 99-cent breakfast and some shelves. Somewhere, we saw some rather cute stuffed rats, but couldn't really justify buying them. After all, we have 11 real ones, what do we need a stuffed one for?

Yeah, on the way home we were regretting not buying them.
