Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
The new Grocery Outlet store has opened, although the official “Grand Opening” is today. They’re advertising free coffee and treats, face painting and caricature portraits, ice cream floats, balloon twisting, and a variety of drawings for prizes. The newness hasn’t worn off yet for its next door neighbor, Ross Dress for Less, which opened just a few weeks ago.
I posted a shot of Amie’s Garden at the beginning of the month when they were putting up the display sign outside. They have done even more work since then and I stopped by yesterday to look around. I ended up staying over 30 minutes, talking with the owners and browsing around. They have beautiful flower bouquets, hanging baskets, plants, lavender, and more. In the bottom shot, the pot on the left came home with me. I also got some flowers and lavender. If you are local and haven’t stopped by you should check it out. 102 Vautier Road, see link. I’ll post a couple more shots tomorrow.
This is inside The Old Post Office Sweets and Gifts shop on Carlsborg Road. My husband had a birthday over the weekend so I went in search of pie for him at our favorite bakery in town. I found it was under new ownership and the owner greeted me and was very friendly and I hope she has much success there.
Twice Loved Books is at 353 West Bell Street and is a great place to stop in Sequim if you are a book-lover like I am! I went on Friday to look for a book and she had one by the author I was looking for and was also able to give me a good suggestion for another one. She has a large selection of paperback books in all different subjects, it is fun to browse around there.
Today is theme day for City Daily Photo and it is also the one year mark of me posting pictures to this site. My goal in the back of my mind when I started was one year…so mission accomplished. Special thanks to those who visit, especially those who leave comments and let me know you are out there. Without that, I’d probably have lost motivation.
This picture above is where Ross Dress for Less and the Grocery Outlet are coming to Sequim.
It has started to snow here, I hope it keeps coming.
