These bags are not only "totes" adorbs, but they are fabricated from unique materials such as sailing fabric, upcycled textiles and more!⁠ The most amazing chic and eco friendly totes and accessories made from recycled materials!

Our paths have crossed with Satsuma throughout our lives, first when she supplied ballet shoes for our daughter from her Wedgwood dance shop, then the softest baby blankets for gifts over the years, and now our go-to provider of school uniforms. But what we are most excited about is her partnership with @RefugeesArts to provide school uniforms and medical scrubs while empowering refugee and immigrant women with sustainable sewing and handcrafting work. ⁠

Sskein (pronounced skayn) is the newest line of luxury knitwear from our emerald city that is not only sustainable but they are so snugly soft. Made from highest-quality natural fibers, this line is the ultimate treat!

This is our go-to for floral arrangements, gifts and of course plants!⁠ We simply love the unique and classy aesthetic to their floral arrangements, and the sweet little shop offers plants of all sizes.⁠

Located in Maple Leaf Don Lucho’s has truly gourmet Peruvian food. After 6 years serving Seattle with their food truck, they finally opened their brick and mortar restaurant on Roosevelt. While all restaurants have suffered in the pandemic, Don Lucho's shifted very quickly to provide both take out meals as well as an outdoor heated patio in back for safer dining. ⁠

Home Cake is great for all your baking needs.⁠ We discovered this sweet little shop in Maple Leaf many years ago and we've been addicted ever since. From the smallest of sprinkles to the largest of molds, this shop has supplied Seattle bakers with everything they need and plenty of advice for over 60 years.

Don’t let the Lake City Way address fool you - this is hands down the BEST croissant I have had since living in Paris! The pastries are absolutely amazing, the perfect combo of flakiness and butter has been mastered in a true French format.

While we frequented Junebaby and Salare prior to COVID, now more than ever we appreciate the entire team's ability to pivot. In addition to providing gourmet meals for takeout (which is no easy task), he committed to supporting his peers and community by temporarily converting Salare into a relief center for restaurant workers when it was needed most. While JuneBaby's menu is southern, Edouardo's roots are deeply grounded right here in NE Seattle.⁠

Seatown Sweets is my go to for custom and beautiful cakes! But their cookies are my favorite - custom designs and taste amazing.

Shannon has captured our family both personally and professionally for several years. With a husband who detests getting photos taken, she truly can charm him to smile genuinely. But the way she captures our true personalities is bar none. Book her immediately!

Best dive bar ever and even better chinese food!

City People's Mercantile on Sand Point Way offers everything you need for gifts, household supplies, hardware and most importantly - stocking stuffers! They have everything I need.

Guy and his team have helped manage several project for us both personally as well as professionally with our Real Estate clients. Reliable, professional but most importantly the work is top notch.

We worked with Modernous for the first time and our experience was wonderful! Their bidding process was straightforward and easy to share with our clients. They were available when we needed them and handled everything for us as we happened to be out of town on staging day. We highly recommend Modernous for all of your mid-century style staging needs.

Sara is truly so talented on bringing a fresh perspective to a room. While I love designing my own homes, I was challenged with our family room and it took her all of 30 minutes to rearrange the room and make it staged and ready!

Wow - found out about Ben's services on Fresh Chalk and immediately called him to have him replace my iPhone battery. The normal cost would have been $150 at the Apple store (oh and not available in the time of Covid). Ben was substantially less, but more importantly he did it in just a matter of minutes. I dropped off my phone to him and was back in less than an hour to pick it up. Can't recommend him enough!

Let’s be honest, some of us may have left our wardrobe priorities at the bottom of the laundry pile. While our needs for corporate suits no longer exist, Shannon encourages us to embrace the shift and blend the “old” and “new.” And if her talents weren’t already plentiful in the wardrobe department, her unique and creative style of interior design is what had us at "hello!” She’s great!

I simply love the women who own and run this business. Not only is the place always incredibly clean, they are so nice and sweet to both myself and my daughter. It is quite and calming and the perfect place to relax. Best foot massage ever!

I simply love the convenience of booking last minute spray tan appointments via text messaging. In and out quickly and beats a machine. Custom spray tan to your body allows for the perfect pre-vacation glow.

Shannon is absolutely amazing! Her sense of style for all ages is spot on - works both with women, and men, professionals, moms, etc. But most importantly she makes it fun. She'll give your closet a makeover, provide you with photos of outfits for daily use, and will help determine basics to add to your wardrobe.

She is extremely talented in helping her clients see their true self and discover their true passions. She's the perfect professional to guide you towards a better, more inspired you!

Have worked with them for 20+ years, highly trustworthy and will do what they can to save you money.

Pre-covid, owner Lacey's studio was frequently booked with workshops to create custom signs, trays, chunky blankets and more. As Seattle shifted, so did she! You can still get most of these projects in DIY take-home kits filled with everything you need to complete.

Great service, great coffee!
