Day Out Saturday.

Yesterday we went to Poulsbo... a short trip north on the highway. Our first destination was the Cat's Meow. There I added to our already crowded shelves after rearranging a few things.

Street scene of the store...

The little green heart is a new addition.

It is a challenge to see how much I can get on one shelf!

After I ran over to Rubber Soul and stocked

up on some Cavallini stickers

and Memory Box stamps and paper.

Then we went and got a cup of "joe" at CUPS...

Dad always treats!

Kay (an owner) shared her new apron one of her customers made for her. If you click on the picture you can see all the coffee cups and more printed on the fabric.

Thanks for sharing Kay!

We had a fun day!

Above the door of the post office in Poulsbo, Washington is the image of Pillar Guri.  Pouslbo is a community based on a Scandinavian culture.  Pillare Guri is a legendary Scandinavian woman.

Her story is of a woman who blew a prillarhorn to warn the Norwegian peasant militia of the oncoming Scottish army. The army was making their way through Gudbrandsdal on their way to Sweden to enlist in the Kalmar War against Denmark and Norway. She played a key role in the successful ambush of the Scottish army.

The victory over the Scots is celebrated in Otta and Dovre to this day.
