I am a huge sucker for letterpress stationery, and Flourish has an outstanding selection. The store is small and has a quaint feel, though you can find just about any paper product you could need. They also sell high-end wedding invitations from companies such as Egg Press, Oblation, Page Stationery, etc. These invitations are hard to find, so Flourish is a great resource.
Take your credit card with you when you go, prices aren't cheap, but neither is letterpress. And it is so worth every penny. The look of letterpress is pure class and elegance.

Checka Looka is everything you want a local surf shop to be. The guy who runs the place is super nice, overflowing with enthusiasm about surfing. This is a good place to rent boards and wetsuits for your first time surfing as their rates are some of the best in town, and much cheaper than out on the coast. The shop has a decent array of boards for sale, as well as some used short boards. They sell wetsuits and rash guards, along with the usual apparel. Overall a great shop with none of the usual attitude.

I bought some fine jewelry from here and it was a great experience. If I ever was to buy some nice diamonds or other jewelry I would do it here. Excellent quality and excellent service. Very good prices compared to the retail stores.

This is a delightful store, with an emphasis on thoroughness and quality. I've had several pair of boots and shoes restored here, had some shoes customized for dancing, and had the zipper replaced on an expensive bag my mother purchased in Italy several years ago. All of the work was top quality. Someone comes in and does season window displays for the shop every month or so. Those are a wonderful feature of the community!

Paula, owner of Dumb Clothing, had a small shop on Capitol Hill when the lure of travel called her away. So...the only way to get her great skirts (I sell a few everytime I wear one out) is to register on her site: www.dumbclothing.com and receive an alert when she is in town. Otherwise...you will have to find a way to New York in the Springtime to get the real thing. Paula makes great fun girl skirts...in New York you can actually design it with her in her own shop. The second best part...cost is between $40-$50 per skirt...but you look like you went to Tulip or Barney's in Seattle. My fashion secret is now out.

This store in the Pike Place Market has tons of kitchen goodies and if you're in the market for Fiesta Ware, this is definitely the place I suggest. They have open stock pieces and have a HUGE selection. You also get a frequent buyer discount after you purchase so much. The staff is really helpful too!

More
We needed wedding rings in a hurry but, of course, we wanted something special - no stones, but an interesting pattern on the band. They had books of designs. We chose an ancient Celtic one and within a few days they called us to come down and make our rings. With careful supervision I melted the gold for my husband's ring and poured it into the mold. He did the same for mine. His folks didn't know we were getting married until we invited them to watch us make the rings. We'd looked at several other places so knew their price was reasonable and the service was outstanding.

More
As far as I know, this is your best bet for finding a replacement phonograph needle for your old record player in the whole region. If they don't have the right kind in stock, they can place an order for you. I found that they were very helpful in giving advice about cheaper brands that will work for various models of record players, too, so I was able to save some money when I came in.

My hats off to Platt Electric. Not only do
they provide a good price on any electrical
product they have the best customer
service. I use Chris Alfano. He's been in the
business for years. He's always at his
desk, he always returns my calls promptly
and most of all, he knows the business
inside and out. Platt is a great company
because they are family run and have
the community at heart. They donate
to a lot of the arts/theater/music
community and that makes a difference.

More
Seattle Book Center, near the foot of Stone Way above Lake Union and close to Fremont, sells used books - hardbacks only. Copies of some of the latest hardback fiction, history, culture, and art books fill the bright, attractive shelves. Many volumes are in mint condition, with jackets sleeved in plastic, so you often feel you're buying a new hardback at a bargain price (and your friends won't know the difference). Interesting rare volumes are on display, too. Owner John opened the store when his personal library had taken over every room in his house years ago. He's fun to talk with, and browsing is a delight. Stop afterward at nearby Gypsy Trader's for vintage bargains of all kinds! (NEW EMAIL: seattlebook@seanet.com)
