The “taste good” part is a visit by Rebecca Staffel, proprietess of Deluxe Foods. Wow! She recently visited Click! on her way to help with the grape harvest for an upcoming jelly she was creating. A few tastes later, we were convinced, and Click! now carries a selection of her beautiful jars of taste sensational fruit concoctions that you can sample Thursday night. Rebecca has also promised to to bring a small collection of brand new cocktail syrups – pour into a glass of sparkling wine or water and you’ve got instant “festive beverage” and who doesn’t need that right about now?
The “do good” part of the evening involves a visit from Arts Corps. Click! will donate 10% of all sales during Art Walk to this fabulous local non-profit organization that brings art education and opportunity to youth who might otherwise not have access. Arts Corps will have volunteers on hand to tell us about their programs, give out information and accept donations. Several other West Seattle businesses will have a charitable component to their evening; please see the Art Walk blog and Facebook page for more details.
Our featured artist is Rachel Austin. See a preview of her beautiful map-inspired paintings by clicking the image below.
Columbia River, 9 x 15
The West Seattle Art Walk is every second Thursday from 6 to 9pm. December promises to be a particularly festive edition of this fun community event.

Brett from Alchemy Goods will be joining us at Click! for Shop Late Thursday, December 1st from 6 to 9pm. He has assured us that he’ll have plenty of bags that you haven’t yet seen at Click! and of course all the favorites.
the Ravenna, $98 • one of the best selling bags we carry
Mission statement by Alchemy Goods: “Turning useless into useful”. In AG’s SODO studio this means upcycling used bike tire inner tubes for a second go ’round as great looking handbags, wallets, laptop bags, backpacks and more. These hardworking, stylish bags stand the test of time (again) and keep whatever you need to tote safe and sound. Although this time of year, their greatest feature may be that they are a great gift for both guys and gals!
the Pike, $138 • a new and welcome addition to Click!’s collection.
Elliott Dopp Kit, $32 • so much classier than a ziplock bag.
This is the 4th of seven Junction Shop Late Thursday events before the holidays. Don’t miss out on the fun. Most shops are open until 9pm with specials and events all evening. Stroll around and get festive! Check here for a full list of Click!’s line up.
Did I mention that beverages will be provided by Alchemy’s SODO neighbors DRY Soda? Keep it local!

Seven years ago on October 1, we opened a boutique in West Seattle showcasing contemporary home accents, gifts, and personal accessories. One year ago (again on Oct. 1) we moved the whole show into the West Seattle Junction. Now it’s time to celebrate!
• Rotating Sale • From October 1 through 15, we will have rotating sales on some of our favorite items. The sales will be announced here on our blog, and also via our Facebook page and Twitter feed.
• Celebrate with us • at our Get Lucky 7 year Anniversary event. Snacks, beverages, free drawings for Click! gift cards and a fair amount of fun Saturday October 15 from 6 to 9pm here at 4540 California Ave SW in the West Seattle Junction!
• Drawings for 7 loaded Click! gift cards • Everyone who comes to our Get Lucky celebration on October 15 gets a free entry to win one of 7 loaded Click! gift cards. Don’t worry if you can’t make it on the 15th: between the 1st and 15th, every purchase over $27 gives you an additional entry in the drawing!

The lovely monoprints by Dawn Endean are still enlivening the walls at Click! Make sure to see the Scroll Series that she created specially for us. The rich colors bring summer into any room and are accessibly priced.
sm $80, med $250, lg $350.
You also won’t want to miss the Dry Soda Truck in front of Click! (It’s pretty hard to miss actually.) The folks from Dry will lead you through a Dry Soda Flight to find your favorite flavor. Don’t forget to ask how your beverage experience can benefit the forward thinking Farestart program.
btw, have you heard that the Shopping Trolleys at Click! are still 20% off? that makes them a cool $39. Good thing, because as soon as you’re done tasting all the Dry Soda flavs you’re going to need that trolley to pick up a couple of packs of the delicious beverages from a local purveyor. See you tonight!

We’re so excited to introduce Junko Yamamoto for April’s artwalk. Junko is a Tokyo-born, Seattle-based artist who creates light, lovely oil paintings exploring the “voids and fullness of pictorial spaces.” She describes her paintings as being based on “shunyata”, meaning emptiness in Sanskrit.
West Seattle’s Art Walk is this Thursday night, from 6-9. Come out and enjoy the lingering twilight, snacks and refreshments, and a fantastic collection of local art.

Puppets! “Cate + Levi” started when Josh Title, the founder, became a father and wanted to provide environmentally friendly toys for his son. Not finding what he wanted in stores, he decided to make his own. The end result of this father’s quest for sustainable toys are these awesome puppets, hand-stitched in Toronto, Canada, from reclaimed sweaters.
Each puppet is uniquely one-of-a-kind, since they are all handmade from found materials. Click here for a video of how they’re made!
The puppets come in a range of animals – from dogs & cats to walruses & slugs – and each one is $30.
We also have the perfect card from Seltzer that dovetails nicely with our new puppets! If you’ve ever been confused on the rules of peek-a-boo, here are the details:
Seltzer cards $3.50

It’s getting close to spring — the birds are coming back, the daylight is lasting longer, and we’ve actually seen the sun lately. In keeping with such cheery news, we’re happy to share that we have new Poppi rings in the store! Come visit — these jewels move quickly!
We’re also hoping to persuade the lovely Dawn Benedetto, the woman behind Poppi, back to the West Coast for a springtime trunk show in May — just in time for Mother’s Day. Cross your Poppi-bejeweled fingers and stay tuned!

The Monster Factory is the best kind of factory — they make cute & funny monsters that you can cuddle with. Each monster comes with a tiny story describing their odd personalities, which makes them even more loveable. Here are a few of our favorites:
a monster named Doyle — “When giving Doyle directions it’s probably best to draw a map, no matter how short the trip.”
a monster named Todd — “Todd puts undue pressure on himself to succeed. It makes him walk too fast.”
A monster named Colin — “Colin divides his time between playing video games and fretting about his future.”
large monsters — 8″ tall, $23
small monsters — 6″ tall, $15

Well, today is as good a day as any to talk about umbrellas. Tray 6 makes great compact umbrellas in bright colors and modern designs. These mighty umbrellas are small enough to slip into a purse or bag, and sturdy enough to combat the Pacific Northwest spring.
All umbrellas are $28. Stay dry out there!

We just stocked Click! with an awesome selection of Valentine’s Day cards, and whatever your attitude — smart, sweet, sassy, sultry — we probably have a Valentine to match.
All our cards are $4 or under, and we can probably take care of any other Valentine’s Day gift needs as well. Belts? Jewelry? Other general awesomeness?

Yes it’s true. We always have the best snacks and beverages on the West Seattle Art Walk (Thursday March 13, 6–9pm), but you have to when you’re a little off the beaten path. Of course it doesn’t hurt that we’ve got some kick ass art to show as well.
Our current featured artist Brad Strain has brought us some new work that takes some of his themes of home (and a longing for home) and incorporates them with polaroid images of local urban landscapes. He also brought more paintings, which seem to be gaining quite a following.
Our own “in-house” artist is featured this month as well: Frances is introducing new colors to her cork jewelry line. Fans of Frances’s jewelry will love the way the silver and gold light up with “ocean” and “sage” — two new colors of dyed cork, as announced in our recent email newsletter. (Sign up here)

The folks at Town Graphics have just put out The Discovery Map of West Seattle, a 3D “bird’s eye view” map showing local businesses and points of interest. We have them free of charge at Click!, and I imagine many of the other featured businesses do as well.
When you’ve got friends or family in from out of town and don’t know what to tell them to do while you’re at work, hand them one of these and turn them loose!
