Now, it's a very different story - I was so giddy and happy all morning Saturday, and when we got there I just got this homely, familiar feeling. It smells so good in IKEA, and it looks just like it does back home. IKEA rules!
We had decided to take our time, and we had set aside most of the Saturday actually to do IKEA. We all had different things on our shopping lists and spent quite a lot of time walking around, thinking, considering, measuring, making decisions...
Of course, there was also time for Swedish meatballs!
When we were done, we were really lucky Jason came to pick us up - because we had so much stuff! We had bought a glass lamp, Ribba shelves, photo frames, my Ulsberg side table (for my reading corner!), towels, a rug, bed sheets, lamp feet, plastic boxes, a bread box, tea lights, a step stool, a lamp shade, cushions (yup, that was me!), cushion covers, a wooden train set, a kids' Lömsk armchair and many other things...
We managed to get it all into his car, then it was up to us to get it all in our suitcases and onto the plane..! (Which we did, of course! We're professional packers!)
