That's right, I'm heading to Amyville, um, I mean Scottsdale! Why, you ask? Isn't it like Eleventy-billion degrees down there? Ummm, yes, but my parents needed my help and bought me the ticket so I'm going!! It's a little mini-vacation, I'm always ready for that!! I'll be in the Scottsdale area from Friday to Sunday...and don't you just know that I'm hopefully going to be visiting this place...

Wow! Amy and Ikea? What a trip!

Oh, you will LOVE IKEA! Have fun shopping and be sure to show us what you bought.

That's so cool that you are going to meet Amy of Amyville. I love her creations.

Shame you won't be here on Tuesday, we would love to have you come to our SnB group! Yep, it is frickin hot out here. Ikea is lots of fun, I live 15 minutes from there.

Have a wonderful trip!

Oh boy you are coming to my neck of the woods! Pack lots of shorts and drink lots of water - it is hotter than heck here!

Amy is as sweet as apple pie and a wonderful knitting buddy - you will just LOVE her!

And bring an extra suitcase.... IKEA is a dangerous place for anyone needing to return home with the same bags they came with :-)

IKEA! What can I say. Love that store!

Can't wait to see the new bag you are sure to find. :D

IKEA, so much fun. Loved it when I went to the one on Long Island, I'm sure you will love it.

Have fun in AZ and enjoy meeting Amy too! So cool.

Have fun shopping at IKEA. I love that place. Half my house is furnished by them. But, I just have to rub it in...I'm surrounded by THREE IKEA's! Stay cool and enjoy your mini vacation!

By the way where can I purchase those yummy stitch markers? Are they make with polymer clay?

you will have so much fun! and you have to love the chance to travel when it isn't on your nickle.

oH I am blushing here! Thanks for the amyville tribute :) I will make sure to wear ribby when I see you on Saturday...NOT! Watch out "Snottsdale"- mad knitting shoppers will be crazy in the streets!

Oooohhh. Ikea! Ours in Pittsburgh is apparently one of the smaller ones but it is still so much fun to shop there. You'll have fun! Plus it has A/C!

Ariane- you can get the little stitchmarkers at www.amyville.com
