Summer's
still here, but you don't need a season or a reason to enjoy a cool treat from Wallingford's Fainting
Goat Gelato. The
roomy and amiable shop handcrafts over 30 kinds of rich,
dense and creamy gelatos on-site, with an eye for quality ingredients such as local
and organic dairy, organic sugar, seasonal fruits and imported Sicilian pistachios.

Can a sassy garter belt result in a proposal of marriage? Apparently
so for one woman, who relates her tale of love and lingerie in
"Underneath It All," a self-styled "Girl's Guide to Buying, Wearing and
Loving Lingerie," by Seattle authors Jennifer Manuel Carroll and Kathy
Schultz. Blithely covering everything you need to know about life
with your lingerie -- from bare essentials to sultry extras -- Caroll
and Schultz have imbued their stylish paperback with a well-blended mix of
practical how-to and perky, cheeky fun.

With autumn in the air, so
begins the time-honored tradition of celebrating the harvest. Although we're
more than a few miles from our rural roots, Seattle's got its own urban-style harvest party
at Seattle Tilth's Harvest Fair on Saturday, Sept. 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can stock up on everything you'll need to keep your
garden growing into the fall and winter months, and
shop the Urban Marketplace for locally made goods such as soap, organic
clothing, honey, jams, jellies, teas and chocolate.
