When we heard about Karen’s accident we were shocked. Karen used to work with us at Click! We know her to be a very focused individual who set high standards for herself whatever the task.
While we constructed jewelry, she and I had conversations about riding and her bikes — a Kawasaki and a Harley. She is passionate. I particularly remember how long it took Karen to leave work. There was ritual; the jacket, the chaps, the hair pulled back, the helmet and the bike warming up. It seemed to take forever, but none of it was optional and she took care with each step.
We’re so glad to see that Karen has made such amazing progress since her accident. We are also glad to have her and her photography at Click! She will be joining us sometime after 6:30pm for the West Seattle Artwalk so come by, wish her well and take a look at her wonderful photography.
BTW, Click! will not take any commission on the sale of her work. 100% of each sale goes into her pocket for expenses during rehabilitation. So consider a purchase (cash or check, please). We will also have envelopes available if you would like to make a donation directly to the account set up by her friends to help her out. Friends Of Karen Derby, Account Number 3622621070, at any Wells Fargo Bank.
Hope to see you!
Also, we mentioned this all in our newsletter, which you can view here. And you can sign up over here.

Summer is here (finally!) and that’s worth celebrating. This weekend we’ll be kicking up our heels at the West Seattle Summerfest in the Alaska Junction. The free, three-day festival is in it’s 26th year and will feature booths from area merchants, works by local artists, and tons of activities and demonstrations for all ages.
Click will be setting up across from Northwest Art and Frame, showing off a sleek, new red loveseat and handing out coupons for 15% off in our booth or at the store. You can find us outside from 10am-8pm on Friday and Saturday and 11am-7pm on Sunday, taking advantage of the live music and food vendors and trying to appear as though we’re working. Come enjoy the lovely weather with us!

Shopping Trolleys regularly $49,
25% off for mentioning The Cart Project $36.75 [UPDATE 9/14/08: Cart Project promotion is over. Carts will be available on our e-commerce site soon.]
Surfing the West Seattle Blog (a favorite pastime here at Click), we were delighted to encounter an article about The Cart Project. This program encourages Westwood Village shoppers to use wheeled handcarts to run shopping errands rather than driving to and fro. Until the project expands to the rest of West Seattle, we’ve decided to encourage this great idea by discounting our lovely shopping trolley selection. Just come in and mention the The Cart Project and receive 25% off the purchase of one of these sturdy, stylin’ little numbers. [UPDATE 9/14/08: Cart Project discount no longer available]
Personal Testimonial – John and I have had our trolley for over a year now. We carry quite a load between home and Click! Zara, (we’ve named her) has saved our backs. Farmer’s Market? Go ahead and buy a sack of potatoes, some beets and a bunch of flowers. It all fits and it will be a much more enjoyable walk home.
