Or, "What We Did On Our June 'Vacation', Part III"
Before going to art camp in Idaho, we got to spend four days up in the awesomeness of Whidbey Island and its environs . . . which involves the awesomeness of ferry-riding.
On and around the island, we spent a whirlwind four days visiting friends -- and visiting some of our earliest and kindest brick & mortar vendors. They've all been highlighted individually here on Beans, and you can click on their names to see those more detailed accounts of why we love them so. And right now, bless them all for their reorders and consistent generosity!!!
This fabulous grocery/clothing/houseware/cool set of stores in Langley, Washington is your one-stop shopping experience for just about everything wonderful you'll need in life. And look at our cards in this spindle :) Thanks to Tamar and her great staff, always. 2. Joyworks
Located in historic (and totally cute) Snohomish, Washington, Joyworks has been bringing the joy for over 30 years. Amy and Janna have taken over their mother's awesome vision of housewares, gifts and clothing. Thank you, thank you for including Bean Up The Nose Art's goodies in your happy dance of great things.

Aqua Gifts
Cindy runs this great shop on the waterfront of historic downtown Coupeville, and keeps it chockfull of wondrous finds ever-changing with the seasons. It's a feast for the eyes just to walk in the door. And we were delighted to find our greeting cards at the place of honor next to the register this summer :) 
Ah! What a treat to walk back into this great little place where such big things happen! Love always to Katrina for doing such a terrific job producing Bean Up The Nose Art goodies when we were running in small enough batches for us to fit in with all of the other good work she does for everyone mid-island. And for always carrying our goodies. And thanks to Cameron for being an excellent up-and-coming shop girl :) 
Located right next to the yummy and notable Rhododendron Cafe in Bow, Washington, the Rhody Too Gallery is stocked with all sorts of cool things from local artists. Because we spend as much time as possible on Whidbey, we get to be local, too :) Thanks always to Carol for carrying our greeting cards, for being such a great person to visit, and for making the best meal a marketing gal could ask for.We hope everyone up in that neck of the woods will give these businesses the business! THEY ROCK!!!
