Save The Date......October Art Walk with Mary Flynn-Gillies

The West Seattle Art Walk is less than one week away!
For those of you who don't know, the Art Walk is a monthly event that takes
place from 6-9 PM on the second Thursday of each month. Shops stay open
late and display art by local artists. During the month of October, we will be
featuring artist Mary Flynn-Gillies at CAPERS.


Mary's paintings are available for viewing and purchase now in our store.

Stanley Rivers 10x8

Poppy Blue 23x30

Here is an excerpt from Mary's artist statement:

"This fascination with weathered
integrity has found a comfortable
home in her two-dimensional work.
Her desire is to achieve this sense of
time and history in her work by using
tattered, stained, and once cherished
found papers as the foundation for
her imagery.

Her imagery at first glance is ageless
but at closer inspection is interjected
with modern thought and often times
whimsy... bringing together the inspiring
dynamic of past versus present"

Visit Mary Flynn-Gillies' website for more information on her and her art.

Hope to see you at CAPERS on October 10th during the Art Walk!

Independence Day at CAPERS

We just wanted to take a minute to wish everyone a happy Fourth of July this week. The holiday is one of our favorites here around the store, because it gets everyone outside (if the weather cooperates of course!) and is always a great day of family, friends, BBQ, and outdoor entertaining.

We also have a few favorite pieces in Store that would be perfect for this week, and all summer long!

We love these great solar lanterns we have in the store. Beautiful and energy efficient, these would make a great addition to your Independence Day festivities. 

This is where we would like to be on Wednesday, away at a cabin relaxing on a Fermob bistro set. Made of powder coated recycled steel, this furniture can handle our Northwest weather!  

Although us ladies at CAPERS sure know how to BBQ, we are also always looking for new recipes to add to our arsenal, so it's a good thing carry this great book, "Slow Fire: The Beginners Guide to Barbecue". It will  come in handy this week!

Have you been on the new Seattle Ferris Wheel? It's now open, and we can't wait to check it out!

And please, please, please, Seattle, let us have some of this! If not this week, then soon! 

Our Anniversary Sale ends tomorrow! All piece mentioned above are still 20% for one more day!

C2OTD {Cute Chair of the Day}

Thought it would be fun to feature some of the fabulous chairs we offer, or see in the world. I love how a chair can lend so much personality and define the style of a space. It can be the va-va-va-voom or just blend in......the choice is yours. Today's chair is a fabulous basic. Meet the "Boston Chair." Available in leather or upholstery, this piece is stylish, compact, and clubby. It looks great in a persimmon leather.
