Fabric and Claus Olsen

Off to do more shopping today.  We had heard about a store, Claus Olsen, that had a wide variety of items.  David heard they had tools so off we went.  On our way we found a fabric store.  I was so excited.  There was a wide selection of different types of fabric including so quilting cotton.  Ellie’s big find was material to make paci and bath baby a tutu so they could match her.  I feel so much better knowing where I can find fabric and sewing supplies. 
We wandered on and stumbled across a model of the city.  It included buildings that are planned for the future.  David has a really good feel for the city and was able to point out our building, Electrolux and various other landmarks.  I on the other hand could only see them after they were pointed out.

David loved our next stop.  Claus Olsen has a similar selection to a Wal-mart minus the clothing and food.  There was a small toy section, small household items, electronics, a camping section, and David’s favorite…tools.  We were able to pick up a few small items that we have needed and also a ladder so we don’t have to borrow one all the time (some of the storage in the apartment can only be reached with a ladder).  It is a store I am sure we will return to many times.
