IKEA

I visited the Atlanta IKEA this past weekend with my lovely friend Barbara. It was so overwhelming. I had no idea IKEA made so much stuff. They even had a cafe where you could order Swedish meatballs (how appropriate considering the founder is Swedish) and other Swedish delicacies. The baked goods smelled wonderful but I resisted.

I did buy a few small items and so did hundreds of other people. We could barely find a parking space when we got there. I assumed everything was very Jestons-esque and cheaply made but they have wonderful things to suit everyone's taste. After working up an appetite walking around the huge showrooms (two-floors) we went for lunch at Cafe Intermezzo. It was so very yummy. We had croque monsieurs and fried potatoes and two desserts. I was in heaven. I didn't really do much else except shop and eat this weekend. Again, I was in heaven.
