When it is cold outside, those spring touches inside really jump out, as at this winter lunch at Northfield’s legendary Ole Store at the foot of the St. Olaf Hill. The first day I began work at Carleton College in November 1985, my colleagues took me here to lunch. It remains a place for significant celebration.
Yes, that is part of the old-new charm of the space for me, too.
Including the one during which I found this photograph!
Love the old cash register. Jane
Feeling privileged that I have shared a good number of celebrations with you at the Ole Store! <3 Bonnie Jean
Thanks, Julia!
Hi Sally,
Thanks for the expert identifications! We’ll have to go to the Ole Store on your next visit to Northfield. Leslie
I loved the Ole Store the time we went there. Nice memory.
Such a pleasing combination of colors. Looks so cozy!
Love <3 Julia
Bells of Ireland, Aster, and statice (though hard to make out in the photograph). I know the other tall purply thing, too, but cannot recall its name. So lovely! Have we ever had lunch there?
