Minneapolis

We're back from our brief business trip to Minneapolis/St. Paul, and I must say, I kinda miss it. 


Minneapolis doesn't really come to mind when you think of "top places I'd love to live", but I've never seen a major city so clean and quiet.  The whole place was lush, serene, and gorgeous.  That's my kind of town.


They also have some amazing mid-century homes and the best thrifts I've ever seen.  I'm kinda freakin' jealous.  Too bad my suitcase was already full of  Ikea or I would have snatched it all it all up.

Speaking of Ikea, everything made it back safely save for a small scratch on one picture frame.  Whew!  I had serious doubts as to whether we'd be able to get those suitcases stowed. 

Now, I know that some of you retro purists may frown upon my Ikea-shopping ways.  In my defense, some of the stuff there is pretty cool and there's no way that I'm gonna pass up a $29.99 goose down comforter and $5.99 down pillows!
