Who’s ready to win Kajsa Virkaaaaaaaa (in my best game show host voice)!!!!!!!???  Confused?  Something about Ikea: the names of their products–well, mean nothing to me.  I have NO idea what they are talking about.  Maybe if I understood Swedish, I would have a leg up on the name game…but I don’t, so moving on.   It’s that time again.  The time where I get to spill all about my lucky find in the as-is section of Ikea and then give it away to someone.  And wow,  I really scored this time.

Meet Kajsa Virka:

Kajsa is a really soft, large, striped, multicolored throw that will no doubt go with the decor in any room in your home….and this little pretty is no longer available on Ikea’s showroom floor.   As you can see above, we have been keeping her tucked in our entertainment center for safe keeping until she finds a new home with one of you.  She looks so pretty there.  But Kajsa Virka would also look amazing strewn across the bottom of your bed,  folded neatly under a few books on a console table in your foyer, tossed ever-so-casually on the couch to create that magazine look or, around you and ___________.  It is Valentine’s, after all.

  • To enter: Leave a comment on this post about whom you would be cuddling up in Kajsa with.  (don’t forget to leave an email address so I can contact you if you are the lucky duck who wins)
  • Giveaway closes: Thursday, February 17th at 9 pm MST
  • The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Friday. Good luck! 

Only one entry per person. Prize only ships to 48 contiguous states. (We still love you Alaska and Hawaii). 
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED, 

BUT KEEP CHECKING BACK FOR OUR NEXT ONE.

    I would be cuddling with James my hubby, Cassidy my daughter, the three fur baby boys, and if my daughter has it her way, the guinea pig as well. Yes, we have a zoo and the animals outnumber the humans at this point. We did have a fish and turtle too but they went to a friend’s house as I just don’t have time to care for any more critters at this point. I’m tired. Lol. I stay cold and hubby and daughter stay hot so this would be fantastic for me. They would gladly let me have the bulk of the blanket. Yay, me!

    Thanks for this rockin’ chance!
