love and loss. Influenced by the musical likings of the late Michael
Jackson, John Mayer, Lauryn Hill, James Morrison and Sara Bareilles, Rachel
mixes a soulful vocal style with pop melodies unmatched in the music
industry today. Her passion will pay off at the end of the summer when her
debut album "Curtain Fall" will be released on iTunes and Amazon music.

 Goods From the Hoods
Salvaged from houses built in the early 1900's, the old growth fir had already been here for hundreds of years when it was harvested to build Seattle. Buying one of these serving boards, butcher blocks or trays is connecting us to Seattle history and in a way, preserving some of the last remnants of the magnificent forests that once covered the great Northwest.
Each piece is stamped with the name of the neighborhood and age of the house it came from. Goods from the Hoods only uses eco-friendly, non-toxic and food safe finishes. Available at KOBO Capitol Hill and KOBO at Higo.
