For All the Foodies Out There
Stop by my favorite cooking school and delight in all that you will see. In Good Taste located in the Pearl was there long before it became such a chic neighborhood. You can sign up for Cooking Classes or just browse the collection of cookbooks & hand-selected Northwest Wines.

Too Many Emails & Not Enough Stamps
Doesn't it make you smile when you open the mailbox to a lovely hand written note from a friend. I try to practice the art of sending simple notes to friends for selfish reasons. I hope they will send one back. One of my favorite shops in the Pearl is Oblation Papers & Press, a 19th century print shop designing wedding invitations for the 21st century. The quality is exceptional and defined by simplicity and style. You can explore the history and romance of their old-world process in their urban paper mill, letterpress print shop, and retail boutique. They also have a beautiful collection of writing pens, fine papers, artful cards and ephemera.
