Spent 3.5 hours in IKEA and got some great accessories for the bedrooms. Then headed to Woodfield mall and nearly spent as much in a store called H2O. LOVE their stuff!!! Had some great Tex-Mex at Chevy's (their salsa is incredible) and a well-deserved 20oz. margarita too.

It was kinda a scary ride home though as we drove through all the storm damage. West Michigan got hit pretty bad with heavy rains as roads were washed out. But it was still worth it!

Ah, SERIOUS shopping, sounds great. I was just looking around the house the other day and was thinking about how old all my furniture is and how tired I am of the look.

Maybe I'll go shopping, after all, it IS my patriotic duty ;o)

Glad you had a wonderful shopping trip and glad you made it home safely....the margarita is sounding pretty good to me right now! The winds from yesterday's storms are still blowing in my part of the US but at least there isn't any snow yet. Once again, thanks for the daily dose!

gotta get to Ikea myself soon! Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for these FANTASTIC pix tonight.

We have Chevy's here in California too! I love their tortillas don't you? Mmmm! Yummy. I have never heard of the stores you went shopping in though, at least I don't think I have, although I am not sure what the initials stand for in the first store you mentioned!
I too have been doing my patriotic duty, only most of mine has been done at local nurseries buying plants for my yard! I am a fanatic gardener! (but I am helping the economy, honest!)
Thanks dear for the posting tonight! Goodies as always.

Great dose, once again.
I'm glad you had such a profitable shopping trip.
The 20 ounce margarita is a great bonus!
