Ikea

Did I need two new coffee mugs?  Could I’ve lived without those rye crackers?  Who needs, not one but two new bud vases?

What is it about merchandise at Ikea that makes it so appealing? Is it the price, the design,  or maybe the strange name that each item carries?

In one week I’ve made three trips to Ikea. Did I really need any of the items that I ended up purchasing? Maybe one.

The new desk for my library was delivered today. It sits in eight boxes waiting to be assembled. Ugh! Time to get out the Allen key.
