Saturday April 30 and Sunday May 1, 2011, Grand Opening Weekend!
We will be open from 7:00am to 7:00pm, all day, both days. Come celebrate the Coffee-Espresso/Bookstore in Clinton, take a walk around and come back to celebrate the new Bookstore/Coffee-Espresso place in Clinton.
Explore the books, meet the staff and put down your anchor for a bit. A delightful place to sit and visit with old friends and meet new ones. Discuss books and art, music or even the weather, enjoy a great hot or refreshingly cool drink. Check out Whidbey in print and online at the Clinton Chamber of Commerce Kiosk, maps and information for your island exploration.
It's the people of Whidbey who make our offerings special to all of us. Beth and Gary Smith of Mukilteo Roasters Coffee, Dori Hallberg from Island Tea Company, Ron and Florence Hecker of Whidbey Island Ice Cream, George Brunjes' Chocolates by George, Mona Newbauer aka Sweet Mona and all her sweetness!. Perry Woodfin's watercolor prints, Rick Lawler's Whidbey photos and Nora Harrell's painted whimsy. Craig and Joy Johnson's birds in print and book form are here not far from Dan Pedersen's stories of Whidbey's places and people. These folks and more will be dropping in throughout the weekend. Come see and taste their work and meet the artists of brush, sugar, camera and words.
We think you'll find the right spot for you at our new store, sit in the comfortable lounge warmed by the gas stove, engage in one on one conversation in the book chairs, find a lively group in the cafe seating or get your power point on with free wi-fi at the window counter. If you are a kid at heart or even better a real kid, check out the just right seating and lounging in the room that's made specially for you. Look for the sign-"Kids".
You can get here any way you like, we are a brisk walk up the hill from the ferry, an easy Island Transit ride from the whole island and right on your highway to Whidbey. We aren't particular about how you get to the door. We just know you'll be glad you did.
The coffee is on, the water is hot, the cookies, pie and ice cream are waiting. There are people to talk to and books to be read. Bring a friend, or meet one here.
It's such a pleasure to see this new coffeehouse and bookstore take shape. Bruce and Trish welcomed Sue and me graciously to the shop yesterday when we dropped off some books, and we had a very fun visit. We love it!
