I really don't understand why people shop here. Do you really have so much money that you enjoy paying twice what you should for groceries. If you just want to waste your money, shop at Safeway, use the club card, and then give all that you saved over shopping at Central Market to me!!!! It's funny to see that grocery shopping has become a status symbol for people, I grew out of that kind of thing in High School.

This is a very nice quilt shop. They have a very large selection of good quality fabrics, books, and supplies. They offer classes and offer a frequent user punch card as well. It is fun to look at the numerous quilts displayed on the walls that frequently change. The staff are friendly and knowledgable and are always willing to help.

Bad Blanche is an interesting shop; it sells both genuine antiques and newer replicas (which is why I put antique in quotes on the title). The shop has quite a variety of things, from basic furniture (tables, chairs, dressers, etc) to knick-nacks, toys, clothing, and various household decorating items.
Like many antique stores, the inventory is constantly changing (although it seems that there are some things that have been there forever!). For the most part, I like to stop in and browse but I usually don't buy unless it is on sale (with a significant discount).

There are a lot of pottery painting options to choose from at Dancing Brush, but they seemed to be steep in price for my taste. I took 2 of my kids and they painted a cup and saucer set for Mother's day and they turned out well. The supplies were good, the quality about what you would expect from any paint and run type place. A good experience but too pricey for us to do it again.

This is a really nice local nursery conveniently (or inconveniently) located right on Bond Rd. The staff there is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable and helpful (I don't know if they have a Master Gardner on staff or not, but most of the staff there are that knowledgeable).
They have a really good selection of plants and the quality is very good. They also carry other garden supplies such as fertilizer and pesticides. They usually have a good selection of seeds and some nice garden decorations and stuff (i.e. gloves, wind chimes, gazing balls, bird feeders and baths, etc.).
I prefer to go here for perennials but will often go to Home Depot (which is only 8 miles away in Silverdale) for annuals as their prices on annuals are a bit high here. (Home Depot does not have as good of quality, but their prices are much less).

This is a standard multiplex located on Viking Way in Poulsbo. It has 10 screens and is a typical modern multiplex with the usual overpriced concessions. However, they do have a couple of unique features that make it easier for families. One thing they offer is a reusable soda cup (I think it is called a "regulator"). It is pretty large and you can get refills for only a buck! I have really gotten my money's worth on this over the past couple of years.
During the summers, they also offer free movies (rated G or PG) for kids in the mornings 2 days a week. This is a really great thing for families and makes for a great outing. And since the movie is free, you can take your small children without feeling guilty if they make noise or won't sit through the movie. And my little kids love the opportunity to do a "big kid" activity. Not to mention the fact that it is the only way to take the whole family to the movies often without blowing the budget.

This is a nursery that specialized in Rhododendrons and Azaleas. While they do offer other plants, rhodies and azaleas are where they truly shine. They have hundreds of varieties to choose from and many of them are on display there. They also have an extensive catalog that you can order from and the plants range from very early to very late blooming, and from small to huge. There is almost always something blooming there. And their quality is excellent. They have a small selection of other garden supplies and seeds as well.
Towards the end of the blooming season (usually around May), the rhodies go on sale. I have seen them as discounted as buy 2 get 1 free, but usually they are buy 3 get one free. I usually wait until they go on sale before I buy.
They are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

This little gem is in an unlikely location- right on the main throughfare in Poulsbo, about 10 minutes off of the Seattle-Poulsbo ferry.
They call themselves a vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant, but their menu extends beyond Vietnam and into China. They have a delicious Ma Po tofu that consists of tiny diced carrots and peas and little cubes of tofu in a spicy brown gravy. Their vegetables and fake-chicken in yellow curry is also really delicious.
If you're in the mood for a lighter fare, they have a range of cold rice noodle salads and spring rolls that are really good and refreshing.
The water that they serve comes with a twist of fresh lime juice, and they offer brown rice.
This place is fantastic, and each time i go in there I get the feeling like I want to tell everybdoy I know to go and fill the often sparcely populated restaurant with some soon to be sasified vegetarian hunger!!!

More
One can really activate the creative juices by stepping in the door of Rubber Soul. They have all kinds of samples made by customers and staff at this wonderful stamp store. The stamps are all catergorized which makes finding a certain subject easy. The paper supply needs to be better displayed - they need to put each color on a separate shelf rather than in one stack. The paper is also a bit expensive. Around November/December you can pick up a stamp card - after you spend $100 you get $10 off your next purchase. They also offer classes. It is located in charming Poulsbo where there are other cute shops.

More
Amanda's is a small, locally-owned yarn shop that is everything a knitter could hope for in a local yarn store. Amanda's carries a selection of beautiful yarns, but the best part about the store is that Amanda herself is wonderful, friendly, and very very helpful. She hosts a drop-in knitting help session ($10) weekly for knitters to come to along with projects that are giving them trouble. She teaches very competently and runs a very nice little store.
