Our Annual Fall Trunk Show is quickly approaching on Nov 2! Join us from 11AM-2PM when Le Jacquard Français representative Lynn Sultemeier will be here to take your holiday linen orders! Bring in your china and paint swatches to find the most perfect new linen for your holiday table. Place your order by November 4 and we guarantee that you will get your linens by Thanksgiving! And as an added bonus, if you order a tablecloth during this weekend, you will receive four complimentary napkins as a gift with purchase.

Easy Entertaining......Baked Feta Appetizer!

The Fall is here and with the cool weather comes warm parties! Be sure to bring this delicious appetizer to the next event you attend or host. We served it at CAPERS during our artist reception for the October Art Walk and it got rave reviews from our customers!

CAPERS Baked Feta Dip

8 ounces Feta Cheese (crumbled)

6-8 ounces of pitted, mixed, marinated olives

Line the bottom of a greased small baking dish with feta.

Layer the olives on top of the feta.

Drizzle with olive oil. 

Bake at 400 degrees F until warm and melted (about 20 minutes).

The recipe we served in the store was adapted from the Kathy Casey recipe below.

WARM BAKED FETA WITH ARTICHOKE ROASTED PEPPER & OLIVE SPREAD

Makes 10 to 15 servings

1 jar Dish D'Lish Artichoke Pepper Olive Spread

1 thick (7- to 8-ounce) piece feta cheese

Lightly oil the bottom of an 8- to 9-inch ovenproof skillet, such as cast iron.

Place the cheese in the center of the pan, and then top with the Artichoke Pepper Olive Spread. 

At this point, you can cover and refrigerate the skillet for up to 1 day.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Bake the cheese for about 20 minutes, or until soft and gooey. 

Serve immediately, right out of the pan, with slices of rustic bread, crostini, pita, or pita chips.

Kathy Casey is an amazing celebrity chef from Seattle. She is frequently 

featured in magazines, on TV and radio, and she is the owner of Dish D'Lish.

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
