Here's What's New for May...
Yeah Spring! Longer, warmer days - a time of renewal! We have abundance everywhere! New shops, new artists, new activities - AND Kathy's Kove Bucks Program!
WASHINGTON'S NEXT ART WALK - MAY 17TH
Each month, 10 or more downtown Washington shops host an artist for the month and an Artist Reception the third Thursday evening, from 5 to 8pm. You will be provided with a program listing the participating shops and artists hosted at each of them. Come early so you can walk to each shop and enjoy the installations, artists and refreshments. There is no charge for this monthly event. We are working on expanding the Art Walk to include performing artists! If you know someone or a group that may be interested, please let me or Washington BID know!
The Art Walks are getting better and better! This month Kathleen Morrielloi, Dance Instructor and owner of a dance studio will join us and offer you FREE classic dance lessons! Come with a partner (or pick someone you meet at the Art Walk!) and have fun learning the Linde, Fox Trot and Cha-Cha. DJ Mitch will accompany Kathleen with a full range of dance music. You are invited to drop off your BYOB at Kathy's Kove before the walk. I'll keep it cool for you until you return after the Art Walk! I'll be open late, so you can sit and relax a bit. Please bring a cork screw if you need one!
Kathy's Kove & Kafe' will host DIANE FARRIS this month. Here's a sample of her Watercolor work:
Some Info About Diane:
Diane expresses herself through a variety of media, including a radio show on WFMU - listen on Thursdays Noon-3pm on wfmu.org. The work you see here may be motivated by music, maybe not! Diane is a retired tattoo artist, and after decades of drawing other people's ideas, She thought she'd like to see what came out of her when left to her own devices. I find her work to be free, fanciful and uplifting!
PLEASE NOTE: Thanks to those of you who have joined our Facebook page. It sure does make sharing information fast and easy!
If you use Facebook, PLEASE frequent and "like" our Facebook page (Kathy's Kove & Kafe')! That is where I can quickly and easily update you on what's going on at the shop in between the newsletters I send you. I show photos of interesting new items, let you know what specialty we may be serving in the tea room, what the "Free Tea Friday" flavor will be, if there's an event being planned - that sort of thing.
Dealers Wanted - Please Consider!
We are still seeking a couple established dealers for our shop. Additional dealers will increase the variety of merchandise in our shop and offer you more choices! Floor space and case space is available. Floor time is not required, we do not take a commission and the rent is reasonable! If you are interested or you know a good dealer who may be interested, please let me know..

New at the Shop
We have received a nice Shaker style table with drawer. A quality piece, ready for your home! We've also received a very collectible vintage (1960s) men's Accutron Wristwatch.
Have you heard about the 350 Project?
It's a movement that just may save our independent brick & mortar shops - 3 shops at a time! If shoppers put aside $50. per month and spend it among their favorite 3 independent shops you don't want to see close, it will create millions of dollars and keep the independents open. Please check it out and share the concept. Independent businesses and organizations may sign up as supporters of this project - there is no cost to you to be a supporter. www.the350project.net Thanks!
