In light of my absence here I wouldn't blame you one bit if you thought I got swallowed up forevermore into the black hole of retail that is IKEA. Well, luckily we survived the shopping trip, we've just been caught up in the vortex that is the furniture assembly process ever since! As my mother pointed out on our way home from the Red Hook store, Ikea's prices are cheap, but it is possible that they are not cheap enough, considering all you have to do to get them home and functioning. And yet we are lured into semi-annual expeditions to the Land of Swedish Meatballs nonetheless.
Here we are standing in line to pay, already plum tuckered out:
Considering the fact that I'm not the most enthusiastic shopper in the world, it was a very good (fun)day. If I'm shopping with my family I'm a happy camper.
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful week, just ended to soon.
I love you!!
Oh, the Ikea Hellhole. The place where all good things go to die. You survived. You are one of the lucky ones.
ReplyDeleteDid you stop at the cafe? I always ending up eating those meatballs, even though I don't think I actually like them that much.
ReplyDeleteI love IKEA, I scored a huge floor length mirror there that no one would guess is actually from IKEA
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it out alive! {Barely, by the looks of it}
ReplyDeleteikea is exhausting!
ReplyDeleteall those $1.99 signs make you think you're getting a deal, but once you get to the counter you realize they've all multiplied and you're paying a lot! ... plus all the furniture! but i love ikea anyway.
Fun! "The Land of Swedish Meatballs" made me laugh, but doesn't Ikea have surprisingly good food?
ReplyDeleteI can't understand American obsession with IKEA. Sure I've used to have a whole room furnished only with IKEa and it's extremely popular here. But we don't pretend it's designish or anything else then the McDonald of house decoration.
