It’s no secret that we love coffee here in the Emerald City. It takes a lot to impress the average Seattleite with a cup o’ joe, so when we tried the coffee from the French presses by Forlife it was a pleasant (and delicious) surprise. Apparently the editors at Imbibe magazine were just as inspired as we were to give due accolades to these stylish little presses. In a recent article, Imbibe names the Coffee For One press as the best singe-serving coffee press, touting it’s attractive design, functionality, simple construction, and clean, sediment-free coffee. The only con they list? The enclosed brewing instructions don’t yield a strong enough cup of coffee — a problem easily remedied by more grounds or more sleep. We have the single-serving press and a larger 34 oz. press in an array of fun colors at Click, so snap one up before they’re gone!

Well, if not, it’s right here. And you can sign up over here.

For what it’s worth, that top image is Seattle jewelry artist Jennifer Bauser. There ought to be a post about her right around here any day now. Or, you can just come to our party Thursday night and meet her yourself.

They’re back! After the Seattle Times featured them in their Valentine’s Day gift guide, demand has been pretty high. Sure Calla Lilies are nice, but these will last well beyond Easter.

With our new Click! Design That Fits Blog, Frances and I hope to introduce our latest findings to the world more quickly than previously possible. So many of the fabulous designs we select for Click! are limited edition or one of a kind, or we simply don’t buy in the quantity that would justify placing them on our e-commerce site, yet we want our customers and friends to be able to preview them from the comfort of their couch.

As such, we intend to use this space to give a quick “what’s up” regarding our latest finds, as well as miscellaneous musings on the world of design, jewelry, or perhaps our cats (come on, this is a blog; what did you expect?). Expect our posts to include not only our store product updates and notes on upcoming events, but also thoughts on trends we are seeing at trade shows and elsewhere.

We expect this blog to more or less replace the “info” page on our website, which from here on out will primarily be about our hours and location. It is also intended to compliment the product pages of our site by showing the items we have in the store but are not ready for e-commerce. For our customers outside of the Seattle area, feel free to inquire about products listed here; just because you can’t click to buy doesn’t mean we can’t ship them to you. Send us an email, give us a call… we are pretty easy to work with.

More than anything, thank you to everyone who has supported us thus far. Frances started making jewelry about 16 years ago, we’ve worked together full time for about 8 years, and we opened Click! as brick and mortar just over 3 years ago. We’ve enjoyed the support of family, friends, and fans along the way… we love you and thank you for your support and kind advice. Starting a blog may not be exactly revolutionary anymore, but it does set a milestone of sorts for us. Mark this: Click! blog milepost zero, and look for more to come.
