Day one at the New York International Gift Fair had us covering the aisles in Handmade and At Home. What were we excited about? Well for one thing, the most adorable salt and pepper shakers in the world, and their friends, cozy-wearing mugs:
Handmade in Montreal by PMO Designs, these are absolutely adorable, and surprisingly affordable. The cable-knit cozies are made by the artist’s mother. Love it!
The next most exciting news? We’re having a Poppi party. The exact date hasn’t been set, but it sounds like the amazing Dawn Benedetto, creator of the fabulous Poppi rings, will be bringing a full selection of her jewelry for a show at Click! in early May, just in time for mother’s day. I’m just saying. Here Dawn and John are discussing possible dates:

Ever wonder what would happen if they closed California Avenue and put up a bunch of canopies with an odd assortment of artists, businesses and musicians? You can get your answer this weekend, as the West Seattle Junction folks do just that. We’ll be joining them in an effort to spread the good word that is Click! to the unwashed masses. Our booth will be near Cupcake Royale, just north of California and Alaska.
Why go to Summerfest? You can see Mudhoney for free. You can see Omar Torrez at the Elliott Bay Brewery. You can come to the Click! booth and get 20% off Smersh Design Jewelry and Orla Kiely Handbags, and take home a coupon for 15% off your next purchase at Click! Design That Fits. Or, you could just bring us a drink to help us survive our return to the summer swap meet battleground. We’ll probably need it.

This Saturday, May 9th is West Seattle Community Garage Sale day. There are hundreds of sales including individuals, groups of neighbors, and many businesses. We’ll be participating by taking our sale and clearance items out to the sidewalk, marked at half price or even less. And we’re not just talking about Christmas ornaments here. There will be previous season’s handbags from Orla Kiely and others, the Angela Adams wool rugs that we’re not able to carry any more, handmade pottery, picture frames, and much much more.
The highlight for many is the sale jewelry. Each year, we dig through our drawers and find the sad and lonely pieces looking for a home: the prototypes that never made it into production, the “seconds” that have a minor blemish, the discontinued designs, and the single earrings that have lost their mate. We price these to be very affordable, and they usually go fast.
We will open at 9am on Saturday for all you early birds, as that is when Garage Sale Day officially kicks off. See you then!

Apologies to anyone who tried to make any online April sale purchases, only to find that when the items were put in your cart they were full price. That has been fixed. But hey, you’re a day early anyway, right?

Valentine’s Day is rapidly approaching, and with it the eternal question: what to get for your sweetie? Boys are notoriously difficult to shop for, so let’s start there…
Malcolm Fontier makes the best boy bags on the planet. Made of polyurethane-coated canvas, they are a modern, PVC-free alternative to leather — and they look awesome. We have new designs scheduled to arrive on the 9th they’re here!
Whether he’s a manly man or a metro-man, he’ll love the industrial look of these stainless steel wallets by Stewart/Stand. Add a set of Smersh Design concrete cufflinks and you’ve got one tough present!
And for the ladies… forget about roses and chocolates. Show her you know her taste with an Orla Kiely handbag.
And of course, you can’t go wrong with Smersh Design Jewelry. Frances’s recent designs in gold with red cork ought to be sufficiently romantic.
Of course, one of the best ideas is to go experiential. How about treating your sweetheart to a home spa day, complete with an organic cotton robe and slippers set, currently half price? Or, you could get a set of Roost cocktail glasses from Click!, then make Frances’s favorite drink, the Damask Rose:
Hendricks gin - enough for a generous martini
cranberry juice - a whisper to a splash (frances prefers a whisper)
rose water – preferably in a spritzing bottle
cucumber round for garnish
Chill a frosted or platinum Roost cocktail glass from Click!
spritz with rose water 5 – 7 times
measure Hendricks gin and a touch of cranberry juice
shake well with ice
strain into prepped cocktail glass from Click!
garnish with cucumber and give it one last rose water spritz.

As recently reported in a story in the Seattle Times, we are a drop-off site for the Women’s Shelter Jewelry Project, a program started by our former studio partner Micki Lippe. Drop off your unwanted jewelry at Click!, in any condition, and a group of jewelers from the Seattle Metals Guild will love it into shape and donate it to a number of different charities, most of which assist women who are victims of domestic violence or are otherwise disadvantaged.
As Micki says in the Times article, “Something as simple as a pair of earrings or a brooch can brighten a mood or make a woman feel special”, and this is an easy way to cheer up someone who really needs it.

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.

As we’ve been hinting about in our newsletter, we have something special planned for May. Beginning May 1, we will be featuring the work of five of our favorite jewelry artists (in addition to Frances). There will be an artists’ reception on Thursday, May 8, just before Mother’s Day weekend, where we will be serving cosmos and donating a portion of the jewelry sales to Northwest Hope and Healing. On a personal level, it seems natural for us to support an organization that assists women with breast cancer for Mother’s Day. It’s also exciting to get the chance to show off the work of some very amazing women!
We will highlight the individual artists here in our blog, but in the meantime you can view the postcard for the event here (front) and here (back).

When we first opened Click!, we knew that we would not carry anyone’s jewelry other than Frances’s. But almost as soon as we had made that decision, we knew that it wouldn’t last. 
Introducing Poppi, the creation of the fabulous Dawn Benedetto. We couldn’t be more thrilled than to have her fabulous, funky, fun rings in our store. The problem with rings (usually) is the sizing issue. These rings get around that problem by being created from sterling silver and elastic which makes them easy to size for just about anyone. The “petals” and “roe” are glass beads which the wearer cannot stop playing with, and everyone else cannot stop admiring. 
Because the sizing problem has been solved, these rings make great gifts!
