A one of a kind Ikea

Shopping at IKEA for something that nobody else has. The chance is small, so the formula is rock solid. You don't want to know how many houses I've seen the red-bike-on-canal hanging in.. It is indeed a one of a kind artwork, let's leave it at that. But if you travel to Älmhult, where IKEA saw the light, you will stumble upon limited stuff. And if you tell me that it's only available here, then greed surges through my body and wallet.

Yes, the result of my splurge in the gift shop at Ikea of Sweden: a nice striped canvas bag in cheerful yellow, a notebook (I'm addicted) in exactly the same jacket, and a Swedish horse because it's handcrafted and Swedish (I mentioned that). And… Salmiak balls. I'm more of the savory family, but this candy is so delicious that I can eat myself sick in five minutes. Oh, and an empty bank account, but a little something will always remain.
