Drain, Bite of Seattle,

"Drain"-ed is exactly what many of us felt this weekend with the insane heat that the rest of the nation has had to suffer these last weeks. I'm guessing the attendance to the Bite of Seattle was lower than previous years, as moving and being in the sun seemed like too much effort to many of us.

A small boutique next to Peso's on Queen Anne Avenue has closed and much to my surprise, Monkey Love Rubber Stamps (a small hole in the wall store selling rubber stamps) is EXPANDING into that space as well. IS there really this large of a demand for a variety of stamps in this world? I do love this store - the woman who owns or manages it was quite helpful a few xmases ago with advice on how to make my cards extra special.
It just surprised me to see such a great piece of property be used for arts and crafts products.

I must admit I was not sad to see Paperspace disappear, taking their overpriced paper cards and merchandise with them.
