We drove to Tampa last week to shop at a certain store with a famous yellow and blue SIGN. All kinds of people were there. We even saw these guys hanging out in the parking lot. I guess their road manager was inside doing the shopping for them.
The whole little trailer seemed like a kind of traveling sign-board for the local artist who created it, but to make sure this post qualifies for Lesley's wonderful SIGNS SIGNS meme, here's the well-known store logo.
We are in the middle of a cottage kitchen renovation project and the Tampa Ikea store is the closest one to Fort Myers.
Thank you to Lesley for hosting this meme.
What a great find!

Oh, what a fun camper van!

amazed to see facebook/twitter symbols on the van - they could maybe be accused of copyright or trademark infringement for that - only joking (I hope, but..) I'm sorry you don't have anywhere better than Ikea to shop.

That trailer is so groovy, man! Since my daughter just moved into her first home she's been spending a lot of time (and money) at IKEA. Have fun with your kitchen reno! Would love to see before and after photos.

Dearest Sallie,
Very colorful and attractive trailer(*^_^*)
I learned the word 'showcase' and the way to use it from the comment of your friend p;)
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

Pretty funny. One of my favorite stores. I hope it wasn't horribly crowded. It usually is on the weekends.

It pays to advertise. I've seen a lot of these and even sedans.
I think its fun (LOL) for the kitchen work, I can cook some meals!
