Howdy, howdy, howdy from Bean Up The Nose Art to our brick and mortar friend, the Rhody Too Gallery.
That's "Rhody" as in "Rhododendron." Because the Rhody Too is owned and operated by the same wonderful folks who bring you the delicious, amazing Rhododendron Cafe. In sweet Bow, WA. 
So, how lovely was the latest visit to all things Rhododendron during our recent (and too short) trip up to Whidbey Island? SO LOVELY!!
A delicious dinner of duck breast, with a side of broccolini and savory apple bread pudding. Yummy!!! A glass of wine. A cup of terrific, strong coffee. Heaven.
And then, owner Carol S. -- who waits tables at her own restaurant, because that's the kind of terrific gal that she is -- let Beans inside the gallery for a photo op . . . all on our own, to lock the door behind us when we went. Because that's how they roll up in that neck of the woods. So NICE!
Let's take a look inside the Rhody Too.
It's a great venue for local Northwest artists, with a mix of items from the rest of the world, too.
Lots and lots of paintings and watercolors.
Terrific work by fiber artists, as well. Check out the yumminess of these scarves (which are staple accessory you MUST HAVE in Washington).
And the purses. The purses!
Please let someone in my family know that this one especially would do just fine.
And, of course, our favorite place . . . the card nook. 
A big, Cabernet-style-hearty THANK YOU to wonderful Rhody Too for carrying Bean Up The Nose Art's greeting cards. We so appreciate your support, and look forward to delivering orders personally . . . so we just so happen to have to eat at the Cafe while we're there . . . .ROCK ON, RHODY FOLK!!!

I love your post and you are correct! Don & Carol (Rhody restaurant owners) not only operate our favorite restaurant around but truly are fantastic people. They are very community oriented, positive, and hard working. They are very conscious of using only the best organic and local food in their recipes and have an amazing variety of dishes to choose from with a monthly change in theme. Recently there was a fire in our community and every person who was a victim of the fire was treated to a meal. We didn't even know until after we ordered whatever we wanted and when we expected the bill to come it was comped! We found out the same had been done for our other housemates the night before too! Thanks for this post, it is refreshing to see them get recognized.
Heather, thanks for posting! And thanks for letting us know about the kindnesses of Carol and her tribe at the Rhododendron Cafe. It is a treasure when folks exhibit such graciousness and support, and I'm grateful for this forum for "outing" it!!!
