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!

Day 1 plus 28 {years}

June 18th is always a day of review and reflection and remembering.  Remembering that youthful
 "I can do anything" spirit I brought to a small coffee shop and gourmet take-out replete with 
crazy kitchen tools all those years ago.  Remembering the anticipation of taking off on a 
new adventure.  Remembering the excitement.  Remembering the possibilities........at that time
 it was "we'll have 50  stores up and down the coast and then retire." 
 (this was when Starbucks had less than 5 locations).

After 28 years, and many twists and turns, here we are.....................a lovely home shop, 
an anchor in our neighborhood, and a contributing member of our community.  
We began with the mission:  sell products that are interesting, get to know our clients, and
 become a contributing member of the community.  Even though the format has changed the 
mission is as relevant today as then........different container, same mission.  


We invite you to join us in celebration......

Tuesday, June 18 
4-6 p.m.

cake & champagne & some fun specials will be served up.
We're raising a glass to another year and most importantly to the many customers 
that have traded with us over the years.  
You're the reason we're here and we're truly grateful........
Best,
Lisa and the CAPERS staff
