It's much the same for us Canadians with things like maple sugar candies and hats with beavers and loons on them.<br /><br />Also, I did see bags with what I thought at the time was moose on them in the shop.

I had no idea that the Swedish American Museum had yarn -- the last time I visited I wasn't a knitter yet.<br /><br />Next time you should check out Nina, a lovely yarn shop in Wicker Park. Plus there are great boutiques, cafes, and bars (including a speakeasy with amazing cocktails) right nearby.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122120372734286698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20584844.post-18771306552394389152010-03-18T11:20:41.442-04:002010-03-18T11:20:41.442-04:00I love that bag, but since I am Swedish, living in...I love that bag, but since I am Swedish, living in Sweden I could never get away with carrying that around.
