I hope that all of you had a lovely Thanksgiving!
I am still stuffed, an entire day later.
A few weeks ago, my family and I made the trip to IKEA.
Have you ever been?
It is a huge Swedish design company that sells furniture, housewares, decor, and food.
My first trip to IKEA was in Germany.
I was in college, visiting a good friend when she brought me to this amazing place.
It was massive, unlike any store that I had ever seen.
We dined on Swedish meatballs and lingonberry drink at the cafe and wandered around the showroom and marketplace for hours.
I loved seeing all of the affordable decorating ideas for small spaces, and stuffed my suitcase with some fun treats for my dorm room.
When I returned home, my friend would send me IKEA catalogs and little trinkets.
But, I couldn't wait to get to go in person again.
It took a while, but happily an IKEA opened here about 5 years ago.
We now go once or twice a year to stock up on our favorite goodies.
I love going at this time of year because of the holiday decorations that they have ~
traditional, Scandinavian designs.
My father's side of the family is from Finland, and growing up most of our Christmas decorations were in the Scandinavian style ~ lots of red and white, gnomes, straw stars and goats, and woodland creatures.
Great memories.
Some sweet cookie cutters, cupcake liners, treat bags, labels,
wooden heart ornaments, and Santa ornaments.
I'll pick a random winner on November 29th.
Good luck and have a great weekend!
I loved reading all of your comments and wishlists ~ I truly hope that all of your holiday wishes come true, especially those of health and happiness.
Edit: We have a winner!
