Your IKEA product name is your name spelled backwards with an umlaut. LLESSÜR. I'm a chic multifunctional bookshelf that doubles as a room divider. There's a hidden compartment for snacks and a reversible chalkboard for doodling.

🎶 Who will buy my sweet rad brooches? 🎶 🥚🍳🍆🔴🟩🔷🟡🔺 (selling at a fair this weekend, wish me luck OK 👉🏻👈🏻)

A dark wood table on which sits a pile of handmade brooches in the shape of fried eggs, birds eggs, penises and colourful shapes. All are attached to a colourful card back that has "Brooch Of The Day and Russell Dornan" stamped on it.
