Singer and song-writer Susan Grace will perform on acoustic guitar.  She’ll sing some old favorites as well as some new tunes from her soon-to-be-released CD.  Toronto designer Nadia Bizzotto’s grocery totes are the featured art for the evening.  Each tote sold will provide a nutritious meal for 50 children in India through the United Nations World Food Programme.  Join us for a frolicking good time.

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.

 Our wide array of jewelry represents the artistic component of our exquisite findings. Browse our displays for styles that resonate personality and individuality. We offer works by more than twenty artisans at any given time.  Chosen for shape, color and texture, river rocks enhance the remarkable silver artistry of Rebecca Bashara depicted in the photo at the right.
