Sale!

Along with most retailers, we’re heading into sale season, or as they say in Italy, “Saldi”. Sadly we won’t be walking the streets of Rome and Milan for the January sales this year, but you can walk the streets of West Seattle and find some pretty good bargains.

Speaking of Italy, the Italian leather handbags are 25% off, as are the Orla Kiely and Highway bags. Ceramics by Kenneth Wingard are half price, along with all holiday decorations and cards. All of our candles, clocks, and sake sets are 20% off. And everything else in the store is 10% off. Several other items will be getting bigger discounts as the sale goes on, so come in to see what is still available.

We are now returning to our regular hours, already in progress:

  • Tues — Fri, noon — 7pm
  • Sat/Sun, 11am — 5pm
  • closed Mondays

We will also close early (3pm) New Year’s Eve and be closed New Year’s Day.

Merry Merry!

Thank you all for making your way out to Click! throughout 2008 and especially during “Holiday Snowpocalypse — Revenge of the Flurries”. John and I wish you all much joy and merrimaking.

Holiday Hours — updated

The original holiday hours post has fallen pretty low on this page, so here’s an update. We are open today and tomorrow, December 22 and 23rd, 11am until 7pm. The 24th we’re staying open until 3pm, or until the guys doing their last minute shopping stop coming in, whichever comes first (last year it was around 5pm).

We’ll be closed the 25th and 26th for Christmas and Boxing Day, and will be closed again New Year’s Day (and will close early — 3pm — on the 31st).

Since we live so close to the store, we are always open on snow days!

“Like a snow day from school with hot cocoa…”

Click! is open today, despite the weather that seems to be shutting down much of our town. So bundle up and come on down… we’ll have coffee and hot cocoa. The snow plow just went by, and cars seem to be going down California Ave with no problems. We plan to go ahead with our open house tonight, which you can read about in our newsletter (subscribe here).

Added bonus: the special tonight (scheduled from 6 to 9pm) is a $5 gift card for Mission with every purchase over $50 and 15% off all purchases over $100, but we’ve decided to make that an all day thing. No telling when we might pop that first bottle of prosecco!

Donating jewelry to women’s shelters

As recently reported in a story in the Seattle Times, we are a drop-off site for the Women’s Shelter Jewelry Project, a program started by our former studio partner Micki Lippe. Drop off your unwanted jewelry at Click!, in any condition, and a group of jewelers from the Seattle Metals Guild will love it into shape and donate it to a number of different charities, most of which assist women who are victims of domestic violence or are otherwise disadvantaged.

As Micki says in the Times article, “Something as simple as a pair of earrings or a brooch can brighten a mood or make a woman feel special”, and this is an easy way to cheer up someone who really needs it.

Chilly outside, warm inside

The local snow flurries and chilly weather are not slowing us down. Even up here at the top of the hill, the roads are pretty clear, and it’s warm and cheery in the store.

Megan Bailey Screen Printed Art!

The opening party for Megan Bailey was a huge success. Her show Length Wise came together just in time, defying every technical challenge that was put in her way. Having been told that it couldn’t be done, she blew everyone away with Crocodile, a seven piece spread in which each scale was painstakingly illustrated.

Crocodile

Megan’s work is about line and form, and it is about animals that are at once figurative and very literal. She started with a series of small 4″x4″ blocks, and soon found herself working larger, as in the series of Albatross images entitled “Bird Parts”:

Bird Parts Blue

Bird Parts Green


Megan has been our graphic designer for the last year (remember our anniversary cupcake?), and we are thrilled to be hosting her first art show. She has priced the work to be very accessible, and we expect the pieces to move quickly.
If you do not live in the Seattle area, please call or email for sizes and pricing. Note that all of the images here link to larger versions.

Holiday Hours

I’ll bet you’ve been wondering, “what are Click’s hours during the holiday season?” Well, wonder no more; starting Dec. 1st, we’re open seven days a week.

  • Monday — Friday 11am — 7pm
  • Saturday/Sunday 11am — 6pm
  • Dec. 24th 11am — 3pm
  • closed Dec. 25th and 26th for Christmas and Boxing Day

Also, we will be open late on Thursdays (until 9pm) for special events, so come join us for festive holiday shopping!

Holiday specials and events

Here at Click!, we love an excuse to throw a party. Holiday season? Heck, let’s throw three.

This Thursday, Dec. 4, will be the first of our three Late Night Thursdays. Each week we will be staying open late and serving refreshments while offering a special discount from 6 to 9pm. This week we will be giving 15% off all holiday decorations, ornaments, and cards. Everyone puts this stuff on sale after the holidays are over, but you need it now, and you need an excuse to get out of the house, have a glass of wine with us, and pay attention to what your spouse/friend/family member is not-so-subtly fawning over.

Offensive and Delightful cards

The name pretty much says it all. These cards are delightfully offensive… you probably don’t want to send one of these to your mother, but you’ve undoubtedly got a few people on your list who would appreciate them.Offensive Holiday CardsWe’ve got singles and packs of several designs that are equally offensive, including cards for other occasions, like birthdays and new babies.
