The shop is the brainchild of a Ballard resident and mommy of two, Sarah Furstenberg. She is a textile designer and illustrator who managed a toy store in Berkeley, Calif., before moving to Seattle to open Clover. "The concept is to engage and amuse children, to wean them away from television with dress up, musical instruments, science projects, games, and many other activities," explains Furstenberg, who has packed her whimsical store with play kitchens, little wooden animals, classic toys such as jacks and rubber balls, and futuristic remote-controlled robots.

Booking my recent trip to the Caribbean was easy; shopping for a swimsuit wasn't. I'll be honest; winter hasn't been kind to my physique. (Is there a sane person in this city who wants to go jogging during a 35-day stretch of drizzle?)

With the Virgin Islands on my mind, I searched the city for the perfect itsy-bitsy -- no yellow polka-dots, thank you — bikini.

Frustrated, you ask the clerk for assistance, but the response isn't encouraging: "Sorry, we don't carry anything in that size." Sound familiar? Well, gals, here's some good news: A bevy of local lingerie boutiques are now catering to a broader range of sizes than ever before.

It's not that my closet lacks festive attire, it's just that, well, what's a holiday party without something new?
