Sales are fun!

After our first day of our first-ever sale, I can say, sales are fun!

We're continuing our 25%-off-everything-sale through Saturday, May 15, so 9 more fun days to come :^)

And, yes, I know this sale is to make room for a big consignment coming in late May, but I couldn't say no to friends who came by with just a few more consignments this week:
(Pictures like this always bring to mind the theme from Masterpiece Theatre that would play as the camera panned the artfully crowded display of photos and objets d'art from the series.)

Shoppers need lemony sustenance. We have it!

Kittyhugs Baking Company in Shoreline has been our source for treats to go with our Davidson's organic tea, to rave reviews. Today, I'm trying their lemon poppyseed minibread, and I can gladly give it the same A+ as their cupcakes and ginger cookies: it's just perfect. A lemony fragrance is the first wave of sensation that greets you, followed by a delightful balance of sweet and tart flavors in a moist, come-back-for-more texture. As I'm scraping the baking paper with my teeth to get every last morsel, I wonder if there's just the slightest touch of ginger?

Well, that was nice. I hope you'll have an opportunity to come by for your own lemon poppyseed experience soon. Or try the banana walnut minibread. Or come with a friend and share one of each while you enjoy a pleasant cup of tea or coffee and feast your eyes on the new art from Donna Reed, Tom Traeger, and Linda Jacobus.

Hmm, let's try an experiment. Say The Living Room blog sent you, and get 30% off a Kittyhugs Baking Company cupcake or minibread. One discount per customer; good through Valentine's Day, 2010.
