I used to go to Solvang all the time. There's this one kitchen kisch shop I always loved to go to, it's right next to the quilt store! And the antique stores? Marvelous! I especially love their selection of jewelry.Tina D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16320028196406399667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-21236236831890149902014-02-18T08:29:08.687-08:002014-02-18T08:29:08.687-08:00What an awesome outing!

I am beyond jealous of your time with the pastries. I can still taste a sort of Florentine cookie that was filled with mocha cream. I have not been there in 8 years or so, do you think is it still going strong? I hate to think of the place falling on hard times.MmePolairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764228219077539111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-31940972158685634322014-02-17T11:04:46.890-08:002014-02-17T11:04:46.890-08:00I remember been there 17 years ago... I was 18 yea...I remember been there 17 years ago... I was 18 years old... oh gosh, time flies!<br />It's always fun to see how americans recreate Europe... so old fashionned... I remember how France was recreated in Universal studio... not our nowadays country but probably Paris 100 years ago! I think they don't want to recreate the reality but just a pleasant place just inspired by our old Europe like Disneyland!Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936447176191219940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-30244775618035194782014-02-17T08:36:51.518-08:002014-02-17T08:36:51.518-08:00Many many years ago I saw an episode of Kathy Grif...Many many years ago I saw an episode of Kathy Griffins old show and she went to Solvang.
