KungFuPanda Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Have you seen these designs? Ikea has a line of dishes and textiles with a pickle theme. These pickles have arms and legs and faces. The main character who is displayed prominantly on a bowl (or cup?) is this pickle who is looking at his phone and is alarmed by a text. If you look beyond him at the other pieces, you see that his friends have been sliced up. Their faces reflect this atrocity with bugged out eyes and distressed expressions. It's soooo weird. I think there's a bowl with a pickle running away. You never see the attackers. Dd and I did a double take and had to examine every piece. They had another theme that was a bit like Salvador Dali meets Wonderland that weren't so violent. I grabbed a few of those pieces just for the conversation value. I have an Ikea problem.

Arcadia Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) https://www.thelifecreativeblog.com/homewares-furniture/design-and-decor-finds-may-5/ Is it like this? My DS12 likes pickles. We'll be making a trip to Ikea and see if they have the Stunsig pillowcases in store since we are out of pillowcases. http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_AA/ikea-collections/stunsig/index.html ETA: Kids say "Ew" to dancing pickles when I showed them the IKEA page.

milovany Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) I'm headed to IKEA next week and so have been shopping online to make a list of what I need to pick up (our store is a couple of hours away). One of the things is bed covers for the younger boys and I saw the pickle! I didn't know it was a store wide thing until this thread. A pickle! Who wants to sleep under a pickle with a face, I ask you? Weird. But I'm looking forward to my trip. Rented a full size pick up for the day and everything. :D We just closed on a different house and are moving the next couple of weeks. We're getting some beds, rugs, curtains, bath stuff, maybe bookshelves, etc. I like the occasional trip to IKEA for the most part, and while I'm looking forward to it, I'm sure it'll be a challenging trip too. Lots of decisions, and a new store to learn to boot (it's a newly built store that I haven't been to yet, on the same property as the old one, but a new building).

Guest Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Awe, it makes me think of the book "Pickle Things", which was one of my favorites as a child :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I don't know. Looking at those pictures I think I like the pickle guys better than that enormous bee mixed in with the flowers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Ikea is as bad as Black Friday today. Long lines at cafe, and checkouts. People has to stand around to eat or wait for a table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
