May 20 2008 Spring is a delicious time in Fairbanks. I love the smell of fresh rain, the darkening afternoon clouds amid azure sky, the sight of water droplets on new birch leaves. There is new talk on the street with the arrival of visitors from Outside. My eyes and ears are open.

This is a reminder to visitors to mention our ad and receive a free Alaskan art card designed by Terri Jo Hedman of Anchorage. Locals will be interested to know I will soon be getting a new dress. Come in to browse the new offerings in the store. We’ll be open an hour later each evening beginning in June, so you’ll have time to stop by as you’re out and about in evening sun.
