The prettiest wine carafe ever!  Pair it with a bottle of wine from Bin 41, and you won’t even have to leave the Junction.  Done!  $34

You may have thought all the monsters left when Halloween ended, but you’ll find plenty of little gremlins adorning the tableware from Lollypop Pottery!  Lollypop is a husband and wife duo from Ohio who throw, glaze, and decal each piece of pottery by hand, and their clever pottery is a Click! customer favorite!

Among the monsters, you’ll also find endearing, slightly crazy owls (with the most amazing eyelashes!) perching on tumblers and mugs.  For those of you not completely swayed by funny monsters and birds, the “Swirlygig” pattern (not pictured) is a combination of bright, yummy colors and swirling line drawings.


Also new to our Lollypop collection are the small cucumber plates, perfect for little snacks or little people.

Tumbler $23 • Mug $30 • Creamer $34 • Small plate $19

Art Walk!

It’s already time for another West Seattle Art Walk, which is pretty unbelievable – the next Art Walk is this Thursday! (which happens to be tomorrow.) We have a great evening planned, full of fabulous paintings and delicious food.

We’re welcoming back the lovely and talented Rachel Austin from Portland with a new selection of her oil paintings.  We carried her work last year, and are thrilled to have a new collection of her paintings to love on.

Also joining us on Thursday is Kim O’Donnell, West Seattle food author extraordinaire.  She recently published the incredibly successful The Meat Lover’s Meatless Cookbook, and will signing books and sharing appetizers from her book.  Kim was just voted one of the Most Influential People of 2010 by Seattle Magazine for her leadership role in Canning Across America, a grassroots movement to bring canning back to America’s kitchens.

Join us from 6-9 pm this Thursday, November 11th!

West Seattle Maptotes!

A Click! exclusive.

John teamed up with our friends at Maptote to create our very own West Seattle canvas tote.

New Jewelers

With all the extra space we have at our new location, we’re please to announce that we’re expanding our collection of jewelry to include four new jewelers!


Dinah Coops is a local artist who silkscreens modern designs and funny animals onto Paperstone, an eco-friendly product made entirely from recycled paper.  We love her designs any way we can take them — Click! also carries her coasters, table mats, and silkscreened t-shirts.

Sarah Loertscher is another local artist (and Click! gal) who meticulously fabricates her crystalline-inspired jewelry from sterling silver.  Clean angles and sparkling facets make up her light, linear jewelry, which is simply stunning to wear. 


Daphne Olive designs elegant jewelry from bamboo.  Her nature-inspired designs are strongly influenced from the daily walks she takes through the woods with her young daughter.   We love her light, bold, eco-friendly jewelry.

Verre NY is Jess Panza & Julie Burton, a two-woman team who create simple, colorful, elegant glass jewelry.   All their jewelry is flameworked glass on sterling silver, and each jewel comes in it’s own tiny glass specimen jar.

New Store, New Products!

We’re settling into our Junction home quite nicely and are thrilled to be here.  Along with loving our new location, we are loving some of the fresh products we’ve introduced this month.  Here are some of our new favorite things!

Fatboys!  Super comfortable, in a range of sizes and colors.  We love these new chairs!  $89-$298


Thomas Paul rugs — with our new space, we’ll be able to carry larger rugs and more patterns.  Pictured is the “Flora” pattern, in an eight foot round rug.  Many more patterns, sizes, and colors can be special ordered to fit your decor.  $270-$1466

New Queen Bee handbags!  Lovely new designs — dynamic stitching, minimal patterning, and iconic birds and leaves make up the Queen Bee Fall collection.  $38-$118

Forged and fabricated belt buckles by local artist Erica Gordon of Steel Toe Studio.  This particular buckle doubles as a bottle opener — pop a cold one while you keep your pants on!  $45-90

Click! is open in the West Seattle Junction

After a whirlwind couple of weeks moving and creating an amazing new space, we are now open in the West Seattle Junction (“downtown west seattle“). Our soft opening was October 1st, six years to the day since we opened in West Seattle’s Admiral District.

Click Design West Seattle Junction new location

Located at 4540 California Ave. SW, we are 1.5 miles south of our original location. The new space is larger and brighter, and more fitting for Design That Fits.

We’ve posted images of progress on our facebook page, where we’ll soon be announcing our grand opening party (to be held Saturday, October 16th, 6–9pm, with tunes by dj Cotton Candy, snacks by Herban Feast, and cupcakes by Sugar Rush Baking Co.). You may want to sign up for our email list so you’ll be sure to get an invite.

Merrimeko fatboy baby

Porter’s favorite new product is the fatboy beanbag chair in the merrimeko design. It’s our new favorite too, because it looks like a nice place to take a little nap.

Progress 9/25 & a Fond Farewell

Here are a few more images of the new Click! coming together – it’s been an impressive amount of change in such a short time!

Tomorrow will be our last day at our Admiral location (or “Classic Click!” as it have been lovingly dubbed).  If you’re in the neighborhood, stop by around 5 for a farewell toast!  Cheers!

Nope, nobody’s here!  Sneaky painting skills

Hey, it’s almost a wall!

Don’t try this at home

Slip pendant lamps price change

So many Click! customers have these beautiful pendant lamps in their homes, and with all of the fabric choices, none of them look the same. One of the great things about them is how affordable they are: at $148 for a custom made lamp, you really can’t go wrong.

Unfortunately, the price has gone up, but the good news is that we’re keeping the old price for the rest of the time that we’re in the old Click!. Which, as it turns out, won’t be long. If you’d like to order a lamp at the old price, get yourself into the store before this Sunday, September 26th, and flip through the fabric book to find the one that’s perfect for your home.

We’re Moving!

As was recently reported in the West Seattle Blog we’ll be moving about 1.5 miles south on California Ave to a new location in the heart of the Junction!  While we will miss our wonderful neighbors in the Admiral district, our fabulously sassy UPS driver, and our amazing landlords of Harrah’s Automotive, we are super excited to join the Junction and be a part of its retail core.  Since the Junction storefront is larger, expect to see more jewelry, more home furnishings – more of what you love about Click!

We expect the move to happen quickly at the end of this month, and could happen even more quickly if you happen to have a truck and are willing to haul a load of boxes (hint, hint!) Be sure to look for us in our new location at 4540 California Ave SW in early October, and mark your calendars for an opening celebration on October 16th.

We’re going to be open at our “original” Click! location until the end of September, so please continue stopping by when you’re in the neighborhood.  We plan on sharing pictures of the move, so check back often to see our crazy fast transition!

Above is a picture of our new home at 4540 California SW, before the wave of renovations begin!

Final Admiral District Click! party

As recently announced on the West Seattle Blog and the Click! Facebook page, we are packing up shop and moving to the West Seattle Junction at the end of this month. That makes tonight’s Alena Hennessy opening the final party at Click! Original Location™, and it promises to be a good one.

Alena Hennessy watercolor and ink

Alena arrived yesterday with some of the sweetest artwork ever, and she priced it to be nicely accessible: about half the show consists of pieces that are under or around $100. She also brought several dozen of her adorable super-soft cotton screen-printed t-shirts and scarves, so we have a better selection than ever.

Alena Hennessy Hydrangea Pod Striped Scarf

Party details: Saturday September 11, 5pm to 8pm, at Click! Design That Fits 2210 California Ave SW in West Seattle’s Admiral District. Alena’s work will be up through the end of the month, and will come with us to our new space at 4540 California Ave SW where it will remain on the walls through early November.

Alena Hennessy

You probably know Alena Hennessy for her lovely silk-screened scarves and t-shirts that we carry (and can’t keep on the shelves) at Click!  During September, we’re highlighting this multi-faceted artist with a show of delicate paintings in her signature style.  Saturday, September 11, we are hosting an opening of Alena’s newest work — opalescent watercolors and finely rendered pen & ink drawings on handmade paper.

Stop by from 5-8pm and meet Alena (who is as sweet as her delicious art!), enjoy delicious refreshments and treats, and fall in love with her paintings.  We’ll also have an expanded selection of her t-shirts and scarves on hand if you prefer to wear her art.
