We’re back

As it turns out a week is not very long to take off. But we did manage to clean up a bit, and hang some new art on the walls — more on that soon.

Our “regular” hours for the rest of winter: tues–fri noon–7pm, sat/sun 11am–5pm, closed mondays.

Closed until Saturday

As we’ve mentioned in our newsletter (you are on our mailing list, aren’t you?) we are closed this week. We will re-open Saturday, see you then!

New file tote on its way to Click!

We are just on our way home from the California Gift show and couldn’t wait to tell you about our favorite new product. As it turns out, paper is not obsolete. We frequently have people have come into Click! looking for something to carry paper files to client meetings. The ladies at Oblong have it all figured out.

Introducing the Oblong BoxTote. Made of high-quality, laminated paper, it breaks down to ship or store flat, and snaps together in seconds. Its sturdy, boxy structure is ideal for carrying anything that might otherwise get folded or bent. There are even matching file folders available.

We expect to have them in the store in a few weeks. Call or email for availability.

City Honeycombed Lamp

These are hanging in the window at Click! right now. Classic shape, contemporary material… such a great combination. They caught my eye as I walked into the Lazy Susan booth at the New York International Gift Fair in summer. When I heard that they were constructed of recycled polycarbonate, I was sold.  Medium $134, measures 12.5 x 6″, large $152, measures 16 x 6″. Small is not currently in stock but measures 9.5″ by 6″ and can be special ordered for $115. Power cord included.Lazy Suzan City Honeycombed Lamp 

Art in West Seattle!

We are so excited to go to Twilight Artist Collective‘s 3 ladies + 3 years + New Location grand opening party this evening to welcome them to West Seattle! The Twilight gallery features eclectic local art including 2D work complemented by handbags, funky t-shirts, jewelry, and other great things.

The artist cooperative is all about giving artists opportunities to show their work. In fact, they have put us in touch with several of their members, whose work will be featured on the walls of Click! in the coming months.

New paintings by Stephanie

Stephanie Hargrave was the first 2D artist we featured at Click! and people still regularly ask about her encaustic paintings. Thursday evening, January 10 from 6 to 8pm she will have an opening in Kirkland at the Patricia Rovzar gallery. She wrote the following about her new work:

Chrysanthemum, A Series will be in the back portion of the gallery, and is, essentially, one very lengthy encaustic painting. 32 feet to be exact! It is a concept I’ve been working on for quite a while, and is finally complete.

The painting is broken up, of course, into sections. Each of the 12 paintings is framed and available separately, and while each one stands alone, each one feeds visually into the next, and the last into the first. Oh, if only I had a round room!

It’s pretty hard to get us out of West Seattle these days, let alone Kirkland, but this is not to be missed.


UPDATE 1/12/08 changed image below to one from the show, which was stunning, and will remain up at Rovzar Gallery until Feb. 11.

Old favorite nesting bowls in new colors

These melamine nesting bowls have long since been one of our favorite suggestions for a hostess gift. They are now available in two new colors: brown outside, mustard inside; and white inside, robin’s egg blue outside. The original bowls have a matte finish outside which I like visually, but some people complain that it tends to show fingerprints. The new ones are gloss, which (oddly enough) seem to clean up somewhat better.

Wool Rugs by Angela Adams — sale

We’ve carried the Angela Adams cotton rugs and handbags since shortly after we opened, but the wool rugs are still pretty new for us, and we are completely bowled over by how they warm up the store. Her winter designs have finally arrived, and they are beautiful:

Angela Adams Birch Evening

Angela takes her inspiration from nature, which is perhaps more obvious in the “birch” rug above, but also, like Frances, uses abstract forms and color for a more subtle effect.
