Let's Celebrate Small Business!

Join me for a packed weekend of sales and events. I'll be offering discounts Friday-Monday in-store and online. Friday is Plaid Friday--a downtown Astoria tradition! And for Small Business Saturday, I'll be offering free refreshments, an in-store raffle, gift bags, and a fundraiser for the Chinook Indian Nation. Shop small!

A Fruit Crisp Recipe for Berry Season

You can be absolutely terrible at baking and still make this delicious dessert. I used marionberries and peaches, but feel free to mix up the varieties of berries and/or stone fruit in this or use all berries--it will be good almost no matter what!
