I made a quick IKEA run on Friday afternoon. I just feel so relaxed there, I could move in...

Wow...all of these are super. I especially like the warm glow of the menorah on the fourth night. Sadly, I don't have the privilege of an Ikea. Wish there was one close by.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Love those candles
ReplyDeleteThose candle shots really appeal to me. I too love IKEA, but trying not to spend $$ so I have to steer clear.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes I did beat you to the post. Woke up at 4:30 today (on a freakin' Sunday). Grrrrrr. Have a great day today Tamar.
Your candle shots are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, a little different take on this season for me. Your Menorah and candles are wonderful. The door does indeed have character I love the sharply defined shadows that our low sun this time of year makes.
ReplyDeleteIKEA is wonderful, I've never bought anything there but I always take my camera.
Yes, very nice pictures, I really like.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I agree about Ikea...love that place. Beautiful lights and great old door!!
ReplyDeleteNice shots, Tamar - love the dreidels!
ReplyDeleteIt's always an adventure for me coming here. I get to savor aspects of your Jewish heritage that are not a part of my Christian Christmas. I love the door and stripes.
ReplyDeleteThe dreidels look fun! Makes me want to give em a spin! The candles have been so comforting to look at all week. And that door is fabulous! Love the rustic look of it.
ReplyDeleteOh, that Ikea picture is so cool. I like that you feel relaxed there.... :) It overwhelms me....but I still LOVE the store. Your stripes pic is so beautiful!!! :o) Have a happy week!!!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your pretty, lit Hanukkah candles! The door shot is really nice - I love that there's so much interesting architecture and detailing to look at as we walk around our neighborhoods!
ReplyDeleteBut your life is all about Chanukah & all it means - so your decorations ARE standard! :)
ReplyDeleteI love IKEA too, but it's always so crazy, busy I don't know how you could ever relax there??
Great photos this week! I love the Hanukkah decorations.
ReplyDeleteI adore the dreidels - very festive and the reflections from the menorah works perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI WISH we had an Ikea - not sure why because I have more than enough furniture and stuff in my house it has spilled into the garage and attic - so perhaps for inspiration.
Very nice set. I really liked the Striped shot of the candles and also the Favorite Things shot from Ikea (very interesting piece).
ReplyDeleteLove your candle photos Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI really think you SHOULD move into Ikea : ) A cool girl like you could only make the place BETTER!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are a teacher. I was thinking of you on Friday and praying for you and your class!
Your candles are gorgeous. Happy 4th night. Love to you.

I can only dream of an Ikea Store!! The nearest one to me is 301 miles!! Everyone makes it seem so fantastic!! I love your candle shots...just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors of the candles! Happy Hanukkah to you!
ReplyDeleteIkea - a dangerous store (can't help spending money there!)
I have no favorite. Each one is so so beautiful and dear to my heart. Fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteYour Menorah candles are so pretty
ReplyDeleteI love the candle shots... so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about IKEA. :) The only thing is with the IKEA here, it gets so crowded and busy that sometimes I can't wait to just be over and done with the shopping and leave.
These are great! I do love the festive look of the front door. Your sparkly shot is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty menorah! IKEA...if only fewer people were there when I was there I'd be able to tolerate it more. I'm so not a crowd person!
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful! I love that card, it is really funny!
ReplyDeleteI love Ikea too, but I don't get there nearly as often as I'd like (but my wallet and small and crowded apartment thank me for that!)
