If you’re like us, you love a little bubblie on a summer evening, and you also like helping out great organizations. The summer evening of Thursday, August 27th, we will be sipping sparkling wine and raising awareness and funding for the most excellent peeps at Girls on the Run of Puget Sound. From 6 to 9 pm we will be sampling several different effervescent beverages, and donating 10% of all Click! purchases directly to Girls on the Run.
Girls on the Run is an afterschool program for girls in third through fifth grade. It is ostensibly about running, but at its core it is about giving young girls the skills they need to survive their coming teen years. As such it teaches self-esteem, healthy living and positive body image in the context of a running program.
They will be starting two new programs this year in West Seattle. Join us in supporting them, and consider volunteering. Be sure to see our newsletter here, if you’d like you can subscribe here.

We’ve spent the last week in New York City, kicking the pants off of the trade show and wholesale showrooms to find everything that we can’t find locally. This means that Click! is going to have some sweet merchandise coming into the shop for fall and winter, including new home decor from our favorites FluffyCo (bottle openers, wallets), Modern Twist (place mats, coasters), and Three by Three Seattle (yes, we order from them in New York, it’s just easier that way, don’t ask us why, but for crying out loud they’ve got DRY ERASE BAMBOO MAGNET BOARDS which are genius; all we can do is love them). We also found some sweet new items, including table runners, holiday ornaments, cocktail shakers, and much more, that we promise to document for you here just as soon as we can get our hands on some images.
Oh and hey ladies, you should note that we have not only ordered the new fall lines of Orla Kiely and Highway handbags, we’ve finally added Portland’s finest Queen Bee handbags. We’ve always loved their designs, but didn’t like that they were made of PVC. They’ve gone to a much more eco-friendly leather alternative and we LOVE THEM.
New work will be arriving at the store within a week or so; we’ll continue getting fresh new pieces in until holiday madness begins in just a few short months.

May (detail). Actual piece 12 x 12
Gail Howard will be our August artist. You can check her work out here, but don’t miss her West Seattle Artwalk opening at Click! from 6 to 9pm on Thursday, August 13th. Her paintings really must be seen in person to be appreciated and beside that you’ll enjoy having a glass of wine and chatting with her. She’s been a Click! customer for ages and we are really excited to have both her and her work in the store.

Also, try to catch those Girls on the Run from 6 to 9pm on Thursday August 27th! While tasting several lovely sparkling wine selections, you can find out about this excellent nonprofit and it’s mission to “Educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.” Click! will donate 10% of all sales during the event to Girls on the Run – pretty good motivation to do a little shopping. Gail’s work will still be at Click! if you aren’t able to make her opening.
