After church today, we joined two good friends and went on a field trip. Our first stop was the
Northwest Wood Gallery. The most gorgeous things all hand made of wood. In fact, this month they are having a box and container competition. Check it out online. But here are a few of the amazing things we saw,

| Approx. 7" x 12", with compartments inside |

| Small dining table |

It really was so impressive. All this gorgeous work. You could only just run your hands over the satin finish on each piece.

I really know nothing about wood working, but gosh it was so lovely. It was grand to be able to wander around all these beautiful wood products.
Our next stop on our journey was the crumpet shop, for a crumpet and a cup of tea. Mine was ricotta and lemon curd. In our group we also had one strawberry jam topping, one almond butter and honey and peanut butter and blackberry jam. Do you remember this place Caro?
Then it was on to the Pike Place Market.

| Fresh pasta for sale - even chocolate pasta |
 |
| Pasta shop's partner, with amazing vinegars and oils |
 |
| One of several fish stalls |
We had a wonderful time wandering and looking. In the end we chose our dinner of: fresh halibut, lemon basil pasta and steamed spinach with balsamic vinegar. Oh so amazingly good.
And here are the intrepid shoppers,
We all decided that it was such fun, we will definitely do it again!
