I have a pair of quad roller
skates, Riedell's model number R3. They're big and they're heavy and when I put
them on I feel as if I've strapped a Camaro to each foot. I love my Riedells,
but you may roll a different way.
K2's Eco inline skates sport a unique bamboo frame and are made with a host of natural and recyclable materials, making them a fashionable and environmentally friendly choice for when you join the eight-wheeled traffic circling Green Lake.

I enjoy buying art for my
home, but find that the poster tubes that protect my new prints soon start to stack
up as they wait for frames. The problem is, I'm a bit intimidated by frame
shops. There are so many options for molding and matting that I just can't pull
the trigger on a custom frame. But West
Seattle's new Wallflower Custom Framing may well be the shop to conquer
my frame phobia.

You've probably seen him: that glum guy following his girlfriend through a women's boutique or slumped in
an uncomfortable chair near the dressing room. Fortunately, savvy businesswoman
Kimberly Carney, owner of Jaxx Boutik on Eastlake,
has opened Aficionado for both men who like to shop, as well as men who are persuaded
to accompany their wife or girlfriend while she shops.

With
the advent of the digital age, has the art of putting pen to paper gone the way
of the dodo bird? For the sake of spelling and social graces, let's hope not. Instead
of the ubiquitous "sent from my iPhone" message, consider sending
your next communiqué on stationery from Running Rhino & Co.,
a decidedly more decorative and personal form of communication.

Located
in Seattle's
University District, Sidecar for Pigs Peace is a modern-day mercantile filled
with vegan delights. Although they've been around for a while, I decided to
stop in and see what's new for summer.
