can i bribe you?

....what a question.....

the problem is i really would like some of this fabric..



(sorry picture is truly awful, it is so grey and dull here today....)





but it is from Ikea :(

now, as most of you know i live far, far away from an Ikea and cannot justify driving miles and miles and an overnight stay (!) in order to purchase a few metres of fabric.

well i can justify it in my mind - but Stephen says no!!


if any of you kind bloggers happen, by chance, to be visiting the big old Ikea in the near future and would not mind purchasing me four meters of said fabric - i would be most grateful x
i would of course send you the money up front for the fabric via cheque or Pay pal - whatever suits you.
if you then let me know postage costs i will send you yet more pennies before it starts winging its way North.

so here comes the bribe.....


as a thank you, thank you, thank you i will send the kind soul that has no doubt queued up for days in order to pay for a trolley load of Ikea goodness, a bundle of goodies including one of my new cushions....



...be gentle
...be kind


any offers??

*************************************

the weather here today is really awful - wet, windy and cold
Stephen is out collecting our sweet Rayburn, so i am free to sit at my sewing machine whilst wearing lots and lots of clothes.... i am not actually convinced i can move my arms sufficiently to be able to sew, or see above my thick scarf......
ack - I'll give it a go!
for today it is Christmas here inside Betsy, just as it is over here x

folks - it is time to accept that Christmas is coming at us really fast now...
i for one am beyond excited

edited to say...... blooming Ikea will not offer online shopping to Scotland until 2009 :(

Lovely fabric! I would be easily bribed if I wasn't also a zillion miles from Ikea as well. I'm sure someone will happily help, especially for a lovely cushion. Happy weekend, Tracy.

Funny you should mention Christmas. My daughter (11yrs) and I were just out for a walk and she was saying how lovely it is that the Fall is coming.She was saying this is her favourite time of year. When I asked her why she said because of Christmas and when questioning her further she said she looks forward to many things. On her list were log fires, hot chocolate, home made cookies, family dinners, wrappping up in a blanket and snow. we talked for a long time abought what our own interpretation of Christmas is and how we would change it. Yes it is just around the corner and time to plan those christmas projects for gifts for the family.Ahhh

hey, I think Ikea is on-line now?

I'm not going there for this very reason but if I was I would happily get you some.

Try on-line. Anyway if it's that easy get 40 metres huh?

I'd be more than happy to go for you next Saturday (the 20th) if you still haven't gotten any fabric. Just send me an e-mail to Sakkasie@hotmail.com and let me know if you're still looking.

Kitty said...

Twinkles is right, you can order online, but the postage costs are shocking :-O

If I lived nearer one, I'd spend half my life in IKEA *blush*

Hope you get some! x

Hi Tracy.. I would love to be able to help you and would enjoy every moment of my mission to Ikea.. but firstly.. I don't drive and our nearest Ikea is 18 miles away and secondly.. I am not allowed near the place.. beloved comes out in a severe rash if I even mention the name!
I do hope someone comes to the rescue for you !!
