A Third Friday Gallery Opening at Pulp!
Please join us in the gallery on Friday, May 17th for an Artist's Reception for Jeff King. The event runs from 7pm to 10pm and will be followed up on Saturday, May 17th with a Gallery Talk at 1pm. Hope to see you there!

Things are starting to bloom this month over at Pulp! Welcome Spring with new floral notecards from Smudge Ink and Nantaka Joy... and I've got some great new notepads in stock from La Familia Green (out of Chicago) made from recycled album covers and vintage postcards. I also have a new shipment of screen printed canvas bags from Puckish -- a little company run by two of the nicest (and, um... most adorable) guys I know in Seattle.

A Little Something for Mom
Mother's Day is right around the corner! Send the moms in your life a little extra love with a hand made letter pressed card (I've got some perfect picks in stock from SidePony, 8mm ideas and A.Favorite). The shop is also stocked with some great gifts: how about a handmade limited edition book from The Nebraska Book Arts Center, or a wallet from Queen-Bee Creations? We've got journals by Jill Bliss, wonderful work in the gallery by Andrew Hershey and Carlos Guerrero, notecard sets by local photographer, Dana Damewood and ....

Gray Salt Caramels by Fran's Chocolates! Yup -- they're back! Wrapped up in a brown linen box -- they're the perfect way to wish your mom a super sweet Mother's Day. A harmonious blend of complex flavors that is an intricate dance between the smooth chocolate, buttery caramel and the unexpected boldness of the gray sea salt. Each ingredient is hand-selected and paired perfectly with Fran's single origin chocolate to reveal its own unique and mesmerizing taste characteristics.

The shipment is due to arrive on May 6th... if you didn't get a chance to try them in February, I hope you'll come by for a box -- they really are amazing!

Gifts for Grads
I'm just starting to get some graduation gifts and cards into the shop -- there are plenty more on the way. I just wanted to mention that I'm now stocking a couple of Queen-Bee's JetPack Laptop bags -- made of recycled felted wool, with a bright orange waterproof nylon interior, these bags are environmentally friendly and super functional... stop by and check them out!
