One afternoon, we set out to find some less active branch members on our very long list. We found the home of some, but no one was there. We went next door and found out the three sisters we were seeking moved from that home some 10 years ago. This is quite common. The branch list is in serious need of cleaning up- and it's our goal to check out every home.
On the way, I noticed this little shop. It looked SO American and like the kind of shop I love to browse when we travel. So we stopped to check it out.
It is owned by Naomi- a quilter who loves America and has been there some 10 times in the last few years. She brings back American products and sells them in her little store that is attached to her home.

We purchased a few little things, including some sachets' for our car and closet. We found it hilarious that, when we read the package, we found out they were made in Ogden, Utah! We had to come all the way to Tsuruoka, Japan to buy something made in our home state.
It felt like home in there and I'm sure we will be going back to visit Naomi.

What a fun adventure! You and Ken are so awesome to check on every home and update the ward list - what a job!! I love that quilt in the old window frame - that is so creative. I'll bet the shop keeper was happy to have you come!
What a fun store. It looks like a fun sister shopping store. It definitely looks like a store you'd find in the states.
I can't believe that those sachets were from Ogden! It gives "It's a small world" even bigger meaning. And that did look loke a good sister shopping place!
It IS america-tekki! I love it. I'm glad you got a taste of home.
