1. I know this limits the playing field, but if you ever get a chance to go to an IKEA it's worth the stop just for the food. I recently discovered their Lingonberry preserves. Oh. my. goodness. It is the right mixture of tart and sweet. Most jellies/jams/preserves are too sweet. Not so with Sylt Lingon.
Delish.
2. Since you will already be there, you HAVE to buy the IKEA cinnamon rolls. Six giant rolls for $4. I can't even make them that cheap! Oh, and you can even buy one for .99 to munch on whilst you shop.
3. It had been awhile since I perused the dollar section at Target. My pet-whisperer child found this little notepad. It provided hours of entertainment for our resident veterinarian.
It would make a cute birthday gift paired with a stuffed animal.
4. I just started a summer bible study. It is
Beth Moore's Loving Well. I'm only 2 days in and I have already gleamed so much. It's a much lighter study than most of her others. Perfect for summer.
5. Speaking of light reading. I just discovered
this little fiction series. It's a great little read for the beach if you like a mystery. The main character buys and remodels houses to resell so it gives just enough design detail to get my blood pumping.
I'm weird like that.
Happy Friday, dear friend!!!

Great favorites you have there! I have never been to IKEA. Maybe I should find one and go some day. lol
I've never been to IKEA, but the Denver store is opening in July and I'm excited. I'll be in AR the week it opens BUT I'll definitely be making the 35 minute trek up there when I return! SO anxious to check it out and so thankful it is so close to my house! :)
I have not been to an IKEA in. . . let me see. . . 24 years, I think. Seriously, I think the last time I visited one was in 1987. Something tells me it would be worth it for me to make a trip! Do you go to the one in Charlotte?
I've not heard of that Beth Moore study; I should check it out. Are you in a study group for summer? My regular Bible study groups don't meet in the summertime. Makes sense in a lot of ways not to have the organized groups, but I miss the structured study!
Have a great weekend, Gretchen!
I took inspiration from your post today and did my own list of Friday Favorites... and gave you a shout out as well. Have a look if you get a chance. http://www.kekukila.com/2011/06/friday-favorites.html
