6 1/2 inches. another little accent piece. always a challenge to paint up these little ugly ducklings I find in the dump heap.

A tiny mirror with a big frame. A fun little accent piece. Only about 5 inches square

The Gallery is carrying baby rattles! Made from all non toxic woods and sealed with bees wax.  

Maple rattle. These are just right for a baby's hand . Sell for 15.00 each

Some edible finger paints for baby. Everything in the gallery is made locally. These two entrepreneurs both happen to be child care providers saw a need for healthy and creative baby toys.

Almaz posing in front of the shed that is behind my grandmothers home. Note the reindeer antlers! 

Old fishing cottage to house the fishermen when the seas were rough. 

Amazing and beautiful. This is what you see everywhere you turn when traveling through the Lofoten Islands.

Almaz doesn't look too excited about the prospect of eating whale burger!

cousin Gunhild hosted us while visiting the homestead lands of my Grandmothers family.... near the Lofoten islands.

this was the landscape in every direction! Amazing but alas I am not the best photographer. I guess I need to do some painting

This is the view from my guest bedroom balcony at the site where grandma Anna grew up. this was taken Oct 7th. Weather not unlike Oregon. Mild even though we are across the arctic circle here.
