"WELL DONE" is the directly translated name of this shop. ("GODT GJORT")
It opened not so long ago, and is the first shop in Norway that is run by teachers and teenage pupils from the school Bergeland.
They make things to sell, and the pupils get training in what it is to actually work, and also give service to the customers.
I popped in today with a friend, and yes, there were plenty of nice handmade things, so we both bought a few presents.
The woman you see in the picture is one of the teachers, who also told me that they have a blog at: http://www.godtgjort.blogspot.com
The shop is situated in the city centre, at Breigaten 15.

Arne, aged 6, has been making this drawing, that has such happy faces that I just had to stop and take a closer look.
He was one of many children who sent in fantastic drawings, that are now part of an exhibition inside the main office building of our newspaper, "Stavanger Aftenblad".
Well done, Arne!!

Yesterday, I visited the Christmas Market at the Rudolf Steiner school.

Nice to see and buy things, and also nice to see the pupils work.
Look at this classroom. The architecture is so unique and aesthetically nice!

We have had extremely bad weather and I really felt the STORM today!

This is one of many, very nice gingerbread buildings that have arrived at the annual exhibition at our biggest newspaper here in Stavanger.

(Take a look at last years creative houses in my archive, from December 2010.)

I had a trip in to the city centre this afternoon.
Still very windy and lots of rain.
Yesterday the people and the helicopter trying to put up the Christmas tree on top of the city bridge, had to give up the work because of the strong wind.

We are ok here in Stavanger.
Only wind and rain.
The storm is further north.
If you google Storm and Berit, you will find both pictures and film.
Statoil (oil company) have evacuated people working on some of the oil rigs out in the North Sea.

Wherever you are; HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!
