Spring Sprang Sprung

2009-04-05T17:53:24Z

The anticipation of Spring in Seattle this particular year has bordered on a tangible anxiety throughout the city. I'm not sure how at 38 years of age I was tricked into thinking that my face would never be warmed by the sun again, EVER. Of cou...

I Heart You, Madrona!

2009-02-28T16:14:12Z

The beauty of JayWalk is that there isn't anything packaged about it. One woman, one 240 square foot room, and whole lot of cool stuff. Sometimes I forget that I have a blog. Then I get excited about something and want to share it and remembe...

No snow days for JayWalk!

2008-12-29T22:54:32Z

We did it! Karen and I braved the snow and wind and ice and stayed open all through last week. Being a born-n-bred Seattlite, I felt as if I were as brave as Sir Hillary on Mt. Everest. Of course, he didn't have the bar at St. Cloud's to cozy ...

Decadence and Delight

2008-10-06T15:50:14Z

A customer sent me a link to a study confirming that spending time in a beautiful and calming environment can reduce stress levels by 45% in just 40 minutes! That makes sense of the sometimes daily visits by my neighbors. It's hard to get my pa...

For the Bird Lover

2008-10-01T16:45:12Z

Tucked away down in Seward Park there is a brick building that generally has it's doors open during the day. When walking by, it's like peeking into Santa's workshop. This is Seattle's own Seward Park Clay Studio, and classes are open to the ...

What season is it, anyway?

2008-09-18T14:13:33Z

It’s been a gentle transition to the Fall season here in Seattle. The warm September days have seemed to go on and on and on. I was approached by an advertising rep this week asking me if I was ready to select an ad size for the holidays…WHAT!!...

Fortune Cookie

2008-07-21T05:33:14Z

This fortune came to me by way of a cookie this afternoon. For once, I completely agreed with this little slip of paper...even if I add on "in bed" at the end. I just happen to be an artist who happened to help open a store and now I own it, ...

Jewelry fit for a Princess

2008-06-27T06:11:06Z

I love to pretend I am a princess. In disguise, mind you- I am not one to wear a tiara. Jeans and tee shirts are my everyday wear. All it takes is a little attitude and some small, distinguishing mark of royalty such as a lace hankie in my back...
