I LOVE this store! Being 100% Norwegian, I'm always looking for Norwegian items, food stuffs, restaurants, etc., to remind me of my heritage.
This Scandinavian store is inside an adorably decorated house. Rosemal painted doorway (it looks like a dollhouse), 2 large trolls on the grass and a little Scandinavian wooden house on the lawn - great detail!
Once I was inside, my husband looked quickly into each of the rooms and came back and said, "I think we're going to be here a while!!" haha! He knows I be spending a lot of time there...
They have everything you can imagine (except Lutefisk! - but that's fine with me, I didn't want any!!!). There is clothing, food, candy, cooking utensils, home décor, furniture, Christmas decorations, and so much more. Not only do they have Scandinavian items, they have German gifts too.
There were samples of a traditional Scandinavian almond cake out for people to try, and it was SO good. I ended up buying an almond cake pan of my own so I can make it myself. After searching the whole place for the perfect rosemal-decorated almond cake serving tray, I found one up at the cashier. She was just about to put it on display, but I snatched it up before she could!
I ended up buying an almond cake pan, a cake serving tray, 6 chocolate bars (Melkesjokolade - best chocolate bars everrrr), and a Norge sticker for my car. I hope to be back in the area again someday, with LOTS more money. read more
