Butter London

July 15th, 2009

The beautiful lacquers, treatments and products by butter LONDON are impossible to part with, and create a stunning visual for your dressing table. It exudes British elegance with a hint of rock and roll.

Better yet, butter LONDON a 3 Free company which means that their products contain NO Formaldehyde, no Toluene, no DBP, and never have. It’s true green beauty in a sea of imposers and wanna-be’s.

Picture 10

So it’s no wonder, given the appeal and approach, that butter LONDON was founded in Seattle (not London) in 2005. They continue to support the environment with exceptional products and our community.

Meet Nonie Creme, Creative Director for butter LONDON, at our Closing Event & Raffle. Maybe she’ll even dish about her work with Kate Moss, Vogue, and Jimmy Choo.

Jackstraw

July 15th, 2009

Picture 15It’s not a fashion store, it’s a clothing store.

Drawing on over 20 years’ experience as connoisseurs of laid-back menswear and haberdashery, co-owner John Richards and Paola Medina have achieved an authentic portrait of the American man with Jack Straw. It’s serious style without the attitude.

An extremely skilled editing process threads clothing, furniture and accessories. Only at Jack Straw will you find an urban collection of men’s clothing (Dries Van Noten, Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto) mixed with button-downs from Italy’s Danolis, Buddah statues and Deja Neu furniture. Picture 12

With your City Stimulus card, enjoy 10% off regularly priced clothing and accessories (excluding Deja Neu furniture), plus an additional 10% off of sale merchandise.

Tequila Savation

July 15th, 2009

Picture 3If you love tequila and the time-honored process of cocktails made by hand, then you’ll love The Saint.

And if you appreciate an approach to food in that very same spirit, with natural, slowly cooked flavors, then you’ll be staying at this brilliant turquoise restaurant and bar for longer than you expected.Picture 4

That’s because you’re a City Stimulus card holder who will enjoy the insane happy hour dubbed “5 for $5” on select signature cocktails and tapas all night long — all week long! It’s The Saint’s way of celebrating our local community with flavor and history.

The Saint is located on its own block, at the intersection of East Olive Way and Bellevue Avenue, in a triangle building painted brilliant turquoise. You can’t miss it.

Fancy Jewels, Dottyspeck & More

July 15th, 2009

Picture 9Fancy on second avenue in downtown Seattle has the corner market on playful dedication to the whimsical and cute. Owned and operated by Sally Brock, who has been designing jewelry since she was 13, the petite store carries the complete Fancy line (handmade in the USA by one lady with two hands), and fabulous local jewelry by independent artists.

Brock is the only woman I know who could write “Custom orders are available -any piece you see can be re-made just the way you like it, unless you’ve got bad taste, or maybe if you want your ring made of bacon and titanium.” and bring a smile to your face. Maybe it’s Leroy the labradoodle but we suspect it’s Sally’s charm.

Picture 8

The above images are from new batch of work from Seattle’s own- Dottyspeck (named after Pee-Wee Herman movies of course) in all sterling silver. Use your City Stimulus card on these, or other purchases, and receive 10% off, including custom orders & free gift with any purchase over $200.

World Spice Merchants

July 15th, 2009

When I’m feeling like making something obscure for dinner, or even just needing to restock my African Cayenne, I swing by World Spice Merchants.  Located just below the Pike Place Market on Western, this hidden gem is for local foodies in the know.  Other City Stimulators, like Dahlia Lounge, How to Cook a Wolf, and Palace Kitchen have already figured out what the rest of us are dying to know:  World Spice is the place to educate yourself and stock up on herbs, spices, teas, and gifts from around the culinary world.

World Spice is offering 10% off all their merchandise this week. If you need to stock your pepper mill or give dinner-at-home some pep, it may be a good idea to swing by.

Babeland

July 14th, 2009

I was lucky to move to Seattle after Babeland was born.  Before I got here, my girlfriends and I would stay up late at night, talking about the mythical place in far-away Seattle, where women could feel confident about their sexuality and explore “adult toys” in a really low pressure and informative setting.

Have I mentioned how much I love Babeland? This week I’ll have something extra to write home about. Babeland is offering an outstanding incentive for City Stimulus this week: 15% off Sunday-Thursday.  A free Silver Bullet with purchase Friday & Saturday.

Babeland has received numerous awards over the years, including a 2006 and 2003 Zagat’s Survey award. It was voted “Best Place to Buy Sex Toys” by The Village Voice and The Seattle Weekly.
