We are honored to have Pauline Lian as our guest artist on Friday, September 5, 2008.  Pauline produces exquisite pressed botanical art at Iceworm Studio here in Fairbanks.  She chooses flowers and berries indigenous to the area and presses them while they are still fresh to give them lasting color.  The pressed botanical art is mounted on textured or handmade acid-free paper.  Pauline’s pieces are truly one-of-a-kind.  If you’ve missed Pauline at the Farmer’s Market this season, be sure you put this First Friday on your must do list. 

We’ve brought back Langford Petals Shortbread to complement Pauline’s work and will reintroduce it to the store on Friday.  We’ll be serving Pansy Up-delicious blueberries with a glorious mix of multi-color playful pansies, violas, and bachelor buttons, and CranSnaps-tart, chopped whole cranberries garnished with radiant pink and red geraniums.  Beverages include misty fjords Raven’s Brew Coffee and jade bouquet Sterling Tea.
