November's Featured Garden of the month. This trio is planted in a square embossed metal cachepot 9" wide and 6" tall. All three varieties, Merry Christmas [red], Carnival [striped] and Alfresco [white], are from the southern hemisphere which means you can expect blooms in about 4-5 weeks. The bulbs will produce 1-2 stems each and a profusion of blossoms.
The Living Gardens Difference
This picture shows what a typical pot of our pre-rooted bulb specialties will look like when it arrives to you. What you can't see under the soil, and what sets us apart from the others, is that we do not grow mass market quality bulbs. Their bulbs are smaller and are very common varieties that are often purchased with no knowledge of the source. Living Gardens knows the growers worldwide and brings you bigger, better quality and unique varieties for the best results. Striving to beat the customers' expectations has been our philosophy for 25 years.

Kids at Play - Christmas G Part 2
|Posted on November 21, 2014 at 3:25 PM

G is for
Gingerbread House
Actually, I don't do real gingerbread houses - instead I have always made mine using graham crackers. I found the instructions for this type of Christmas holiday house many years ago I believe in Family Circle magazine and made quite a few for my little girl and her friends over the years. Now it's all over the internet, but you have to look hard to find one that is really easy, peasy to make.
Some, like Stephanie Lynn over at stephanielynn.com use hot glue to hold the structure together. And, like me, Stephanie uses ice cream wafer cones for 'trees'. But you and I know that kids are gonna eat these little houses, so forget about the hot glue gun and make the whole thing edible. I make a version of what's called royal icing for the 'glue' and also for the snow.
If there are older kids in your household, have them help you assemble the wee houses and, of course, let the little ones do the decorating. Decorating the ice cream wafer trees is easy enough for a two-year old. Just be sure that you have enough candy goodies on hand, as I am sure some will mysteriously disappear.
Royal Icing - My Version
I combine icing sugar and enough lemon juice to thicken the sugar into a nice paste and then add a quarter teaspoon or so of tartar which hardens the icing. It hardens up very quickly so if the batch gets too thick, add a little water. Use this also to create the snow on the roof and on the 'trees'.
Kelly Moore supplies complete step by step instructions (with great photos) and recipes here.

Ah, one of my favourite letters and I've found a ton of stuff that start with this letter. Please note that I post only what I like (okay, I hope you'll like them, too), so if you find something missing, have a wander around the web - you're sure to find plenty. Meanwhile, these I have posted are all kid-friendly but remember that they always need adult supervision. Let's start.
Garlands (Orange Peel)
I love this idea - you get to eat the orange or drink the juice and then, instead of tossing the orange peel into the compost, upcycle it into a pretty and aromatic garland. The above photo is from luluto and gives instructions in Bulgarian. But don't let that stop you, it's a lovely blog, so take a wander.
If you need instructions in English, another Bulgarian blog, Spice and Roses gives you easy ones to follow to make a citrus garland as a tabletop ornament. Another lovely site worth a visit or two. Find the how-tos here.
I know, I know - there are tons of stuff on the internet claiming to be kid-friendly and inexpensive. If find that most of them are great but for me it's all about how nice it turns out. Both the following gift ideas are easy enough for the smallest kiddie to help make and have fun, too.
DIY Sparkle Pencils
These sparkle pencils from Rachel at Love from Ginger would be a great gift for a favourite teacher. I found I had a couple of old greeting cards that had stick-on gems decorations, so I just peeled these off and will use them for my own version of these pencils (if and when I get around to it, ha!). By the way, Rachel is full of nifty Christmas holiday ideas for both you and the kids, so take a little time to look through her gallery. Find the instructions for the pencils here.
Bath Salt Bombs
Kids like nothing better than getting their hands into something squishy. These bath salt bombs are perfect for this. So why not have your kids whip up these as Christmas holiday gifts for almost anyone - grannie, mom, sister, aunts, uncles, teachers, neighbours, etc. You can vary the herbs, using what you have on hand or what you can pick up at the grocery store. The project is from Red Ted Art, yet another great site for craft ideas for kids and not for just the holidays. The bath salt bomb instructions are here.
Gingerbread Men (Edible)
Christmas without gingerbread is like winter without snow - possible but nowhere near as much fun. Here's the best recipe I have found and every easy to make. Kids can help whip up the batch and, once baked, decorate away. For the recipe from Aussie chef extraordinaire Donna Hay, search for Donna Hay Gingerbread Men Garland recipe (for some reason I can't provide a direct click to her site).
Gingerbread (Play Dough - Do NOT Eat)
Play dough gingerbread men will last forever (I know because I still have a few even I made as a kid) and make the house smell great while you make them (not as much fun to eat, though). I looked for a site that could provide a no-cook play dough recipe that only required a few ingredients and was lucky enough to find it over at Growing a Jeweled Rose. For this fun no-cook play dough recipe, click here.
Snow Globes (Edible)
There's something magical about snow globes and they're surprisingly easy to make. But how about one you can actually eat? The kids will love this one.
How to do it:
If, unlike me, you know how to bake (and enjoy doing it), you could make an edible snow globe cake in a ramekin. There's a great recipe for both the base and the cookie on top over at La Receta de la Felicidad. It's a gorgeous Spanish site (but with English recipes). Even if you are not a foodie, you'll spend hours here. The recipe for baked snow globes is here.
How to do it - My Version:
The edible snow globe photo above is my version. Because I am neither a cook nor a baker, I look for easy ways to get the same effect. Instead of baking, I bought cupcakes at my favourite bakery to make my edible snow globe and then add shredded coconut for the 'snow'. I topped the cupcake with a tiny marzipan evergreen tree but you could also use a holiday cookie (your own or store-bought) and then plop the whole thing into a small ramekin. Then I recycled a small clear plastic bubble flower vase to serve as the globe. You can use any small jar that will fit over the ramekin or a stemless wine glass (you can get these at wine stores or department stores like Target). What could be easier?

F is for
Feathered Frends
Baby it's cold outside and our feathered friends need a little help keeping warm. Serve them up some flavoured treats that will keep them warm, if not snug. But be sure that you use a little common sense. I once made a peanut wreath and used boiled sugar to attach the peanuts into a wreath shape. The birds and even the squirrels weren't able to get any of the nuts because these were 'cemented' into place. I also don't get those frozen rings of ice containing berries and nuts. Birds may have sharp beaks but I think they'd need a chisel to get at those berries.
Here are a few bird friendly treat ideas.
Bird Seed Ornaments
Hmm - I think you may want to add a wooden skewer through an ornament like this to ensure the birds have somewhere to land to enjoy their feast. Kids will enjoy making these as they envolve a lot of hands-on squishing.
The instructions for these ornaments are here and also here.
Popcorn Wreath
Paul Lowe over at his Sweet Paul blog has this nice little popcorn wreath that's easy to make. You can hang this wreath where birds can enjoy it. If you can, place it somewhere near a window so you and the kids can enjoy birdwatching while they munch away. Be sure that you make extra popcorn for the kids to munch on when making this wreath. The how-tos are here.
Cranberry Hearts
No instructions but I think you could figure it out. Just thread a thin wire through cranberries and form into a heart.
Faux Fireplace
No this one has nothing to do with birds but look, every kid knows that Santa needs a chimney attached to a fireplace to come down. If you don't have one, chalk this one up and hang it up. Santa is sure to appear. This one was designed by Brian Patrick Flynn for HGTV and instructions can be found here.

E is for
Now that you've got your kids' creative craft corner set up, let them at it. They'll spend hours (hopefully) away their electronic gadgets and come up with tons of stuff for Christmas holiday decorations and treats! Though these projects like all the others I have posted are easy, an adult must be present on hand to help out with cutting, etc.
Here are a few ideas to start off with:
No instructions but easy enough to figure out.
Note that these lamps use battery-powered tea lights.
If the kids have been busy making Christmas holiday cards, they're going to need envelopes. These are easy enough to make using magazine pages, gift wrap, junk mail. comics, pages of old books.

At the time I thought it was a good idea but I didn't realize how much of my time would be taken up with finding just the right idea or project to post in this Christmas holiday roundup. Ha! You realize, of course, that what I post is what caught my eye and I think is just great. You can find your own if you don't like what you see here - believe me, it takes work!!
D is for
DIY Upcycling/Recycling Craft Box
I wish I had thought of posting this idea first but it's not to late and just fits (barely) under the D category. I found it over at the Modern Parent Messy Kid (MPMK) site and its a great idea. It goes back to advice that Dr Phil gives folks who want to lose weight. Dr. Phil? What's he got to do with kids and creativity? Just stay with me here.
According to Dr. Phil, if you want to lose weight, one of the things you need to do is to create an environment that makes it easier to do just that. You put your running shoes by the door, get rid of all your junk food, stock your fridge and cupboards with healthy alternatives and this makes losing weight feasible.
So if you want your kids to be more creative and maybe learn a little about recycling/upcycling, create an environment that nurtures this. Create a work space just for the kids - one that stores all the items they'll need to create and accessible enough so that they can easily start creating without having to ask you where to find what they need. Somewhere close to where you work around the house because kids love to work near their parents. When my daughter was small, my husband built a work desk and small cabinet for her to work alongside him in his study. He stocked the cabinet with paper, pencils, crayons, etc. so when he was working, she could work along with him. Everything she needed was handy for her and, best of all, she could spend time with Dad.
For hints on how to set up a creative workstation for your kids, visit MPMK here.
One of our most favourite songs at Christmas songs is the Little Drummer Boy. So this year I will be making my litle guy a small drum that he can play to his favourite music. The ladies over at A Beautiful Mess have a lovely little drum you and the kids can make together and bang away at your heart's content.
Click here for the instructions.
I am not a fan of dressing up your dog except for booties during the winter when the streets are salt-ridden. Imagine walking on that in your bare feet! However, I don't have any problem with doggie toys or doggie treats. For a doggie biscuit treat that's nutritious and easy to make, go here.
For decorations, you'll have to wait until O is for Ornaments. I'm too pooped to continue.
Kids at Play - Christmas C - Part 2

More for the letter C (as in Christmas). Hope you enjoy!
C is for
Christmas without cookies – well, it just wouldn't be Christmas and sugar cookies are our favourites. What kid wouldn't love to create their own versions of the perfect Christmas cookie. And listen, if you're, like me, not so great at making up batches of cookie dough, why not cheat a little and get some ready-made cookie dough from the grocery store.
You can choose from sugar to chocolate chip. The dough is all set to roll and cut and decorate. You don't need to do anything to it. Kids can decorate the cookies with sprinkles, frosting, even paint them with food colouring. The important thing is you all will have fun with no hassle.
For how to use this dough creatively, click here and here.
C is for Chocolate
Remember looking forward to getting that Pot of Gold box of chocolates? I still look forward to it. If you want the kids to make their own chocolates treats, it's not hard if you plan ahead and have all the ingredients ready. Here's an easy recipe from Tea for Six.
Older kids might want to make something a bit more sophisticated - perhaps as gifts for family, friends, or teachers. You'll find a delectable recipe for chocolate dipping spoons from Instructables here.
And, of course, don't forget those hot chocolate drinks. Our lady Martha has a great peppermint chocolate drink recipe here.
{Christmas Holiday Greeting} Cards
Because I can't draw worth a bean, I've never felt I could create a card from scratch so I make them by using pictures out of magazines and junk mail. Kids, however, have no such inhibitions. So just hand them some construction paper, old greeting cards, buttons, ribbons, crayons, and tin foil, stickers, bits of gift wrap, etc. and let them get on with it.
The blog, Artful Kids, has oodles of ideas to get started, if a bit of a push is needed. Click here.
{Paper} Chains
Paper chains are easy, fun and very decorative. All you need is some attractive paper (anything will do from book pages, old gift wrap, magazine pages, newspaper comics, ribbons), scissors and glue. It will keep the kiddies busy all afternoon, leaving you time to finish wrapping up those presents.
To make a paper chain like the one shown above (these are from a kit over at notonthehighstreet.com), cut 1-1/2-inch-wide paper or ribbon into 6-inch lengths. Bring the ends of a strip together to form a circle and secure with glue stick or double-sided tape. Insert a strip of paper through the first circle and glue or tape the ends together. Continue until the chain reaches a desired length.
Last but not least, what's Christmas without crackers. If you've been disappointed by the cost and the contents of store-bought crackers, you'll be delighted to know that you and the kids can make your own using whatever you've got on hand. Follow Tan's instructions over at her blog, Squirrelly Minds, to see how easy it really is! For how-to, click here.

We love analogies. No matter what the topic, analogies are a great way to explain something in a different context to make a specific point with a frame of reference that may be more familiar to those we are making a point to. There is one that seems to come back over and over again in our industry, the one that compares the network to the power grid, network connections to power plugs. I had not heard it for a while but at Interop last week, I heard it used twice in booth demonstrations as part of plug and play pitches. And I really do not like that analogy.
The comparison to power comes from the angle of it just being there and available. Plug something in and it turns on. Its universal and it's simple, anyone can use it. It's highly standardized, you can buy bits and pieces that work together in any hardware store. It's reliable. You just get a bill each month, pay it, and in many places you can even pick your provider different from the owner of the cable that actually plugs into your house. It's all good, it's mostly invisible.
Except that all of these come with their own challenges. The overall power grid reliability is well below 99.99%. Across the US, the average outage minutes per year is hovering in the 2 hour range, in the Northeast almost double that. There are only very people I know that do not have a backup generator, just in case, and get to use it at least once a year, ignoring the smaller outages where we just live in the dark for a few minutes. It is very standardized, with plenty of standard variations from country to country, thank goodness for $30 converters. And the cost, well, it's rising faster than inflation (almost twice as fast in fact).
Now, this article is not meant to be a complaining session about power. When power works and you forget about the bill, it is very much invisible, which is the only piece of the analogy I do like, maybe.
Networks should be invisible, but not in the same sense power should be invisible. When comparing networks to power it always comes down to "it's just there, plentiful, accessible, and just works". And (not surprising), I think the network can do much better than "just be there". Networks need to migrate away from an entity that is architected, designed, implemented, managed and debugged separately from the applications it serves. Networks have to become an integral part of the application infrastructure.
Now, any two (or more) distinctly different entities need to be glued together. No different for applications, servers and networks. Applications are glued to servers by means of the OS. As a consumer of an application, or even an administrator, the amount of work you have to do to put these two together is (usually) fairy minimal. The creator of the OS has provided tons of hooks and tools to give the application what it needs, the application provides to and asks what it wants from the OS.
The glue between the server and the network is much harsher, much less refined. There is an expectation of matching configuration, very little is actually transacted between the two to get them to work together nicely. Yes there is DHCP and perhaps you can even count LLDP in that, but the amount of alignment of information between the two so they can work together seamlessly without human intervention is minimal. And if something is not quite working the way it should, you need heavily certified network engineers and tons of homegrown tools and scripts to figure out why. That is by no means a knock on network certifications (that is for @cloudtoad to comment on), but it should not be that hard. The exchange is extremely focused on data plane traffic for transportation, very little provisioning, debug and other feedback is exchanged and reacted to.
We need to get to a network that is invisible enough to allow you to create coarse provisioning policies created from application templates. There should be no need for me to configure individual ports and protocols on ports. There should be no need for me to configure how network components are tied together and provide optimized connectivity based on the needs of its customers. The network needs to provide debugging tools that interact with applications in feedback loops. It needs to provide enough details for orchestration systems to adjust their placement of apps. Or in Plexxi's case, take in information from orchestration systems to change the L1, L2 and L3 behavior of the network to the requested demand. And that orchestration system could be a specialized Hadoop controller or a far more generic cloud orchestrator.
The network needs to cease to exist as a separate entity, it needs to become an integrated part of the application infrastructure that uses its services. That's the kind of invisible we need to achieve.
[Today's Fun Fact: An Iranian man paid $500 to a wizard to become invisible. The man then walked into a bank and grabbed money from people's hands believing he was invisible. He was promptly arrested and convicted. Conclusion: pay more or pick a better wizard next time.]

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management.

Chicago Blackhawks shut out St. Louis
Corey Crawford made 34 saves in his third career postseason shutout, and the Chicago Blackhawks got back into their playoff series with the St. Louis Blues with a 2-0 victory in Game 3.
The Associated Press
CHICAGO – Corey Crawford was there every time. Slap shots, wristers, backhands and tips, he stopped each one of them.
The Chicago Blackhawks needed a rebound game from their goaltender, and he delivered in a big way.
Crawford made 34 saves in his third career postseason shutout, and the Blackhawks got back into their playoff series with the St. Louis Blues with a 2-0 victory in Game 3 on Monday night.
"I'm just going shot by shot," Crawford said. "It's all I could do the whole game was worry about the next one and focus on the next shot and stop that. I don't want anything else going through my mind through that hockey game."
Jonathan Toews and Marcus Kruger scored as the defending Stanley Cup champions bounced back after two overtime losses in St. Louis. Toews' 21st postseason goal was the second score by a Blackhawks forward in the series.
"Three games in a row. It's been a very intense series and extremely close," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said.
Ryan Miller shook off another slow start and finished with 23 saves, but Toews' shot at 4:10 of the first went through the goaltender's pads and was the only score for most of the game.
"It's not a good goal. We'll leave it at that," Miller said.
It was quite a turnaround for Crawford, who was upset with his play after Saturday's 4-3 loss. Barret Jackman's winning goal in Game 2 went through Crawford, prompting the goaltender to say he had to play better for Chicago to win.
Quenneville met with Crawford on Sunday, and he responded with one of the best games of his career.
"We have a lot of one-on-one meetings throughout the season, but we get ramped up at playoff time," said Quenneville, a former NHL defenseman. "I generally stay away from the goalies. We chatted. Basically I was commending him on accepting that responsibility (for the loss)."
Crawford drew chants of "Co-rey! Co-rey from the capacity crowd at the United Center. He was helped by a sound performance by Duncan Keith and Chicago's defensemen, who stepped up without the suspended Brent Seabrook.
Other games
Penguins 4, at Blue Jackets 3
Brandon Sutter, Lee Stempniak and Jussi Jokinen scored in a span of 2:13 of the third period to revive Pittsburgh in a victory over Columbus.
Pittsburgh took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven East first-round series thanks to the goals on three consecutive shots.
Brooks Orpik added a goal in the final seconds of the second period as the Penguins stormed back from deficits of 2-0 and 3-1. Marc-Andre Fleury had 17 saves.
At Wild 1, Avalanche 0 (OT)
Mikael Granlund's diving goal 5:08 into overtime allowed Minnesota to reduce Colorado's lead to 2-1 in their West series.
Semyon Varlamov of Avalanche stopped 45 of 46 shots, a franchise playoff record for shots on goal by the Wild.
Minnesota's Darcy Kuemper made 22 saves.
At Stars 3, Ducks 0
Kari Lehtonen made 37 saves for his first career postseason victory and Dallas won its first home playoff game in six years. Anaheim leads the West series 2-1.
Dallas captain Jamie Benn skated out of the penalty box to score late in the first period, and 19-year-old rookie Valeri Nichushkin added a goal.

There's nothing extraordinary about the standard rooms, but the location allows easy access to Victory Park and the Arts District as well as many of the Downtown office towers. Weekday guests are typically business travelers; weekends bring visitors interested in shows at the House of Blues or American Airlines Center. Walking to the convention center will take about

Barbour backs plan to tax online, catalog sales
Published: December 5,2011
Tags: Gov. Haley Barbour, Mississippi, Mississippi Business Journal, online sales tax
JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is now backing a congressional proposal to allow states to directly collect sales taxes from Internet and catalog merchants.
Barbour expressed support in a letter last week.
One estimate shows that Mississippi and its local governments will lose more than $300 million in 2012 because such retailers do not collect the state's 7 percent sales tax. Consumers are supposed to pay use taxes on their state income tax returns, but few do.
The federal bill sets conditions for states to collect the taxes, including providing software and services to Internet and catalog retailers. It could also require Mississippi to direct local sales tax revenue to the place where merchandise or services are delivered. Now, law credits the tax to the place where a business is based.

What's this?? Pudge, our "I ain't raisin' nobody's taxes!" wants to raise our taxes by penalizing our on-line shopping? He'll have to turn in his Retardican membership card or something. Imagine: Pudge raising somebody's taxes. He probably thinks Amazon will have to pony up the money, not realizing that the tax will simply be passed on to the Mississippi consumers. Wow. Raising taxes . . . .

Seattle, WA
AAMCO is number one in the transmission repair industry, but it doesn t end with transmissions. AAMCO is well positioned to become the market leader in brakes, tune-ups, air conditioning, and other aftermarket services.
Think of it this way: In the $200 billion general automotive repair aftermarket, we have brand recognition in excess of 90 percent. Add to that almost 900 locations nationwide and the most highly skilled technicians in the industry, and we have the tried-and-true recipe for success.

Designer bridal boutique offering brides custom- order designer gowns from some of the most sought-after designers and sophisticated, high-end sample wedding dresses off-the-rack that are unavailable anywhere else in the region.The boutique also carries jewelry, veils, hair pieces and sashes
This business is very profitably and a steal for the next owner. All inventory will be included in the price. Owner is just ready to move on to other ventures.
Option #01 - Price $129K. Purchase the complete and entire precious metals (buy/sell/wholesale) turn-key business model for $129K. The current store size is perfect in terms of physical size and location for this jewelry only model.
Option #02 - Price $329K. Purchase the additional pawn license to allow you to add collateral loans to the business model (buy/sell/wholesale/loan) for an additional $200K. There is a moratorium on pawn licenses within the Seattle City limits, thus making the pawn license itself, a marketable commodity. Washington State sets interest rates and fees associated with pawn laws. Interest is typically 3% per month, before documentation fee. Loan balances typically generate between 5-7% per month. Adding the pawn license allows additional income generated from interest rates and defaulted loan liquidations. The store currently loans only on jewelry, but could loan on anything. With the pawn license, the store could be relocated in order to loan on all merchandise types, but this would require additional operating capital.
The store is located within a corner stand-alone custom built building (approx: 1000 sq ft) sharing a real estate pad with only Bartell Drugs, a local multi-unit 3rd generation drug store. Being on an intersection, with stop lights and with glass fronted windows that store receives customers generated from the 12,000+ cars per day accessing the main arterials adjacent to the store as well as customers visiting the anchor tenant - Bartell Drugs. On the opposite corners from the store you will find three (3) national brands (Mc Donalds, Lowes & U-Haul). A strong retail location with high traffic, in a newer building with high drive-by.

We've done catering jobs up to 1,100 people! and do jobs of 100 ppl or more on a regular basis. We/you can pack 'em in at the restaurant too. on our/your 1,000 sqft. sun deck! With one of the few rest. in the Fremont hood that has parking. Our truck has a regular lunch time permitted parking spot, that goes with the sale.

I have successfully operated Earth, Wind, and Fire Boutique, a woman's clothing and jewelry boutique, for 23 years in the Pike Place Market. The focus has been on providing exceptional service to customers while offering unique designer tops, blouses, jackets, coats and hand-crafted jewelry. We offer high quality clothing and jewelry not readily available in other stores. Our clothes utilize sophisticated silks, soft cottons, warm wools, and other beautiful fabrics. The jewelry is from excellent designers from all over the world employing semi-precious stones and crystals in exquisite designs. Our customers appear to like what we are doing because revenues have doubled approximately every four years.
We do survey customers to determine how they found us. We have a huge number of return customers, even among out-of-towners. They tell us they cannot find our merchandise anywhere else, and we believe our exceptional customer service contributes to their positive feeling about the store and the merchandise.
The Pike Place Market hired a professional surveying company to evaluate each store on appearance, customer service and performance. Proudly, Earth, Wind, and Fire Boutique was rated in the top 20 out of 250 stores in the Pike Place Market.
Being located in the Pike Place Market has been very helpful. The 10-12 million visitors coming to the market annually is an exceptional sales opportunity. Many of the visitors stay for a day or two days prior to leaving or arriving on one of the 10-13 cruise ships sailing weekly for Alaska between May to October. Our proximity to the Washington State Convention Center and the many surrounding hotels is also a significant plus. We track the conventions and gear up for the increased traffic they bring. Conventions tend to be stronger from September to June, making a nice balance to the cruise activity.
The Pike Place Market is an excellent landlord and a good business partner. They advertise year-round in print, radio, television, and have a good website. They run many festivals during the year to drive traffic into the Market. They also offer a co-op advertising program to tenants.
Our store is a warm, friendly refuge from strain of traveling and sight seeing. We establish a relaxing, cozy environment with the romantic fountain, the crystal chandeliers, the fireplace, and the beautiful European armoire cases. Our customers are able to try on beautiful clothes and jewelry in the comfort of a charming and inviting atmosphere.
Being in the Pike Place Market has given me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, everyday! I will miss the fun and excitement of being in the store. However, I truly believe Earth, Wind, and Fire Boutique is well positioned for even greater growth. New ownership with strong sales and marketing expertise could again double the sales in a few years. We are willing to help the right buyer get off to a great start.
This grocery/deli was established over 40 years ago in the much sought after Fremont District. It occupies over 3600 square feet with ample room to expand and grow. The business is a neighborhood fixture. The current owner serves sandwiches and hot dogs, beer/ wine (90% of the business), tobacco, craft beer for growlers, and has a small variety of assorted grocery items. The business is currently set up with 2 ping pong tables and a foosball game for the enjoyment of the customers. The wine has a 35%-40% markup and the beer has a 30% markup. The business is licensed as a beer/wine restaurant and grocery store. The current owner is not utilizing the full potential of the business. The new owner could easily add a full kitchen (there is currently a large room with a 3 compartment sink) ready to be turned into a full service kitchen. The new owner could take some of the existing room and put in a wine bar and tap room for wine and beer tastings. There would also be plenty of room to add a full espresso café and deli. The demographics of this area would easily support and appreciate having the grocery items upgraded to a more deli gourmet feel. This business has the total potential for many revenue sources once a new owner takes over. The business currently has lotto and scratch but this is not being marketed to the customers. The Seller does very little tobacco sales and this could easily be increased as well as adding E-Vapor Cigarettes. The Seller is moving to Hawaii and must sell. Seller is offering terms with 60% down – 3 year term – 6%.
Establisned 25 years - 20 years at the current location. Two years remain on lease with an additional 5 year option. Many commercial accounts. FTD. Seller wishes to retire.
Incredible bar with food service in the heart of the Seattle Belltown neighborhood. This is a densely populated upper income area with many attractions to draw locals and visitors. This business is in the main foot traffic pattern of the Belltown neighborhood and is surrounded by condos. The community is an attractive area to live and work in. The facility could also be easily adapted to other food and bar concepts.
Seattle Eastside, WA
This highly profitable vodka and wine tasting martini bar is well known on the Eastside for its upscale, relaxing atmosphere and exceptional customer service. Boasting over 50 specialty martinis, the largest vodka selection on the Eastside, a large variety of hand-picked wines, and a full menu of delicious food pairings made from scratch with fresh, local ingredients, it is no wonder this restaurant has been ranked among the best in Western Washington.
This is a solid company with a history of sustainable earnings and growth, and verifiable books. All aspects of this business are managed professionally and with care.
This great little wine-retailer is located in an amazing area surrounded by upscale neighborhoods that provide a large amount of the sales performed by this business. Because this business is completely turnkey, has an amazing location and an amazing rapport with its clients, it is the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to start into the world of selling wines!

One of the most active markets in the country forecasted at 30% grown in the next 3 years. Seller has other business interests to which they would like to devote more time and energy. This business has many effortless growth opportunities. A new owner could easily open up the retail side of the business and expand without much effort.
Key employees (including General Manager) have agreed to stay on if needed by new owners. With a full-time owner/operator, payroll expenses could be greatly reduced thus increasing SDE.
Private, closely held corporation owns and operates a retail pharmacy located in beautiful, sought after Puget Sound region of Western Washington. Strong competitive position with no nearby competition within a 10 mile radius. The owners are selling in preparation for retirement.
This business is a well traveled foot traffic neighborhood. Built in 2011, this yogurt shop jumped out of the gate selling over 700 K in gross sales the first year alone. It is well ran and organized and a draw to the local area. It is in a building with a couple of other well known franchises like Panera Bread and near a college. Possibilities are endless. The seller has a few more stores but they are all out of state in his home state, where it is difficult making it to this location and for it to reach its full potential. The staff does an excellent job, but a hands on operator or someone in the area would greater reap the benefits. Not to mention you would know the local market better and who to reach out to. With out local ownership this place is flourishing. Does not have to stay a franchise anymore. Call for a NDA

With its stylish, laid back lounge atmosphere and its menu of casually upscale comfort food, Social Restaurant & Bar is the perfect spot to be just that?social. Velvet chairs and leather-backed booths, smoldering in a ripe shade of berry, ensconce friends in hip comfort as they peruse the brunch, lunch, and dinner menus. Groups collaborate on appetizers, like brie fondue and tableside-seared sirloin, while individuals might order goat cheese flatbreads and rare yellowfin tuna. No detail is left to chance at this hidden gem, whether it's part of the design or the meal, and the result is a destination conducive to intimate dates, private events, and those moments in life when you're trying to convince someone you're a hot-dog-bun tycoon.
Since the time of cavemen, pests have been a household—or cavehold—headache. How many more times do you have to come home to that wild mouse taunting your domesticated woolly mammoth? While the problem has remained the same, the tactics to rid a home of pests have evolved. At Modern Pest, service professionals customize each treatment to the specific pest, and can even make their applications green or organic.
Lauded by Daily Candy for accommodating raw and vegan diners, Prana Restaurant balances native temperatures with mouthwatering flavors in organic and gluten-free dishes. After being greeted by fresh hair streaming through wide-flung windows, diners dip flora-favoring taste buds into garlic, veggie, or fig balsamic pizza on naan crust ($10). Chefs trade off gluten-rich pasta for ribbons of zucchini in the pesto primavera entree, served raw or slightly warm with spinach, a seasonal garden medley, and almond-and-cashew cream sauce ($16). Chard leaves or chia-seed shells trump humdrum tortillas in a lunchtime burrito that bulges to bursting with vegetables, beans, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa ($12). Refuel after fatigue-inducing feasts or all-night model-UN deliberations by chugging a coconut-rich SuperCharger smoothie tinged with cacao, dates, and cashews ($9.75).
Husband-and-wife team and Prana Power Yoga cofounders Philippe and Taylor Wells foster an environment in which clients can explore holistic wellness through yoga, intensive workshops, and events. Instructors at each heated studio locations roll out the welcome yoga mats, encouraging students of all interests and skill levels, from mothers-to-be to veteran sun saluters, to build strong bodies and peaceful minds in a judgment-free environment. During athletic Vinyasa-style yoga classes, certified instructors crank up temperatures as high as 99 degrees before taking mat mavens through a sequence of sweaty postures linked with mindful breathing exercises designed to boost lung capacity to Sting-like levels. Meanwhile, visitors in search of a transformative experience can attend one of the studio's workshops or events, which range from juice cleanses to destination yoga retreats in Nayarit, Mexico.

Every winter I find myself searching for the perfect coat and I think I may have found it in this Zara one. It's basically like wearing a dressing gown outside and I'm all for that.
Hello remember me? Oh it's been a busy couple of months! You may notice that things are looking a little different, I've moved out and started uni again so this is my new setup. Not much has changed though, I'm still wearing all grey.
T-shirt and coat: H&M. Skirt: eBay. Trainers: Adidas superstars.
Bought this school skirt off of eBay a couple of months ago, funny thing is that four years ago I would of given anything not to wear school uniform but now I'm actively choosing too.
Jumper: Zara. Trousers: H&M. Trainers: Nike air max.
I'm back from holiday so in my mind it's now Autumn, okay maybe I'm getting just a little ahead of myself seeing as it's not even September yet but I've already shook the dust off my jumpers and coats. So here is my not so new, new bag. I bought it in New York about 2 years ago for my mum, I have absolutely no idea where I bought it from and seeing as she's never used it being the lovely daughter that I am, I politely took it off her hands. I think felt might just be my new favorite.
