I love the bed frame. I have a Pier 1 near me. I love it. I really want to go to Ikea but the closest one is a little over an hour and a half away. I can't believe I have never been.

Happy Belated Birthday! Shopping is always fun. :)

What IKEA do you go to? Ours is ALWAYS out of the Bygel cups that hang from those rails. And they don't even list them on the website anymore so I figured they quit making them. Guess not! I have a couple of the Bygel rails in my creative space and hang finished quilt tops from them. They are so cheap and I like having my quilt tops hanging to get them out of the way and to keep from getting too wrinkled (granted, I don't have many quilt tops, but it works for me). I use a rail and cups in my girls' playroom to hold their crayons and other bits. A great system! Get it while you can, especially those cups!

Sounds like a fun time! Love the storage cups. Where did you see those? I might think about that for my sewing room. Do you think it could keep me more organized????

looks like a great wishlist from IKEA, since there isn't one near me, I save up a list and wait until a trip to Philly. Those baskets look like something that needs to be on my list!

Don't you just love Ikea! I think those little holders would be awesome for quilting supplies!

I love going to Ikea! Since we have moved closer to one, Ikea is taking over my home. They do have great storage solutions.

I was an assistant textile buyer for Pier 1 for seven years. I don't go in there as much since I left, but they always have great holiday decor.

My closest Ikea is an hour and a half drive... I wonder if I should try to fit a trip in before Christmas? Hummm....

That's the same bed frame I want! Although I made the mistake of going to Crate & Barrel, and spied a far more expensive version of it. Bah!

Shopping's my idea of a good b'day too hehe Although I'm sure by the second store the hubs would be sighly very very audibly.

I love Ikea and could spend hours there. Thank goodness it is an hour away from me.
