If there’s one thing we like as much as good design, it’s good sushi. Fortunately, we’re lucky enough to be right down the block from the best sushi in Seattle, Mashiko restaurant.

Tonight during West Seattle Art Walk and Shop Late Thursdays, Mashiko is rolling out some happy hour specials. If you make a purchase at Click! tonight, show your receipt at Mashiko (paper or smart phone if we email your receipt to you) and receive a complimentary order of edamame!
This should be a great night to spend in West Seattle with so many of the shops open late and what promises to be a particularly good Art Walk. Shopping + Art + Sushi = Love.

Very many of you have admired and/or purchased Rachel’s engaging work in the 2 years we’ve featured her at Click! We are so happy to represent an artist whose work continues to change in such a thoughtful and graceful trajectory. We hope you will take the opportunity to meet Rachel and see how her work continues to evolve.

Fisherman’s Bay
In the new “Cartography Series”, Rachel still uses maps to reference place and incorporate texture into her paintings. But she has added the graphic imagery of landscapes seen from high altitude, to give the work more abstraction than in her previous paintings. The results are wonderful.

Seattle
Mark your calendars for a pre-Artwalk Reception. Rachel will be at Click! from 2 to 5pm this Saturday November 5th, to chat and answer questions about the “Cartography Series”.
Of course there will be sips and snacks!

Pachyderms in love, eager to shake some salt and pepper for you!
And from another side of the collection, the Pill Carafe. Perfect for your bedside beverage!

We’re looking forward to the first week in September! Our very own Sarah Loertscher is taking over the store, filling it with her drawings, prints, new installation work, and very new jewels from her latest collection, the F-series.

Fe is the symbol for iron, the element at the heart of her steel collection. Sarah’s clean, angular forms are cut and folded from mild steel to create light, faceted structures. Some of these edgy steel jewels have the addition of 18k gold to starkly contrast with the steel; others are studded with punchy colors of glass beads: aqua, orange, and magenta.
The details:
Thursday, September 1st 6-9pm — opening reception
Saturday, September 3rd 11-5 — trunk show
Mark your calendar — it should be a rockin’ show!

This week’s Shop Late Thursday in the Junction is not to be missed! We’ll be joined by Kim O’Donnel, the author of The Meat Lover’s Meatless Cookbook, who has a delicious knack for making veggie recipes that are hearty, substantial, and savory — you won’t even miss the meat. She’ll be signing books and sharing samples of her summery recipes taken straight from the pages of the Meatless. How do Sun Gold tomatoes stuffed with garlic scape pesto sound? What about romesco sauce with roasted green beans & baguettes? Hungry yet?

Stop in from 6 to 9pm to get your book autographed, have a little taste, and find out what she’s up to with “Canning Across America” and its participation in “Can It Forward” at the Pike Place Market August 13/14 — both of which are grassroots initiatives to encourage home gardening and canning. Join the canvolution!

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!

Yes we are open!…Stop in for that host gift you’ll need for the evening BBQ. Doors will be open, well, until they are closed, probably around 2:30pm. If you are cutting it close give us a call, 206.328.9252, and we’ll try to keep the doors open a bit longer.
Or head down to South Alki were you can catch up with the other half of the Smersh duo. John along with other Beach Naturalists from the Seattle Aquarium will be shedding light on the secret lives of tidal plants and creatures large and small. (12:30pm to 3:30pm) Just go on out there and ask the folks with the tan vests what’s going on. It’s pretty interesting stuff!
