Internet Findings: Seattle Show, Moshi, Moshi (new sushi restaurant), and Vancouver BC Deal

I subscribe to all sorts of email newsletters including Daily Candy and Pop Sugar Daily; plus a smattering of local Seattle distribution lists.

Yes, I am the girl that signs up for all of those newsletter sheets they pass around.

Anyway, I thought I would share of the new things I heard about via my inbox:

The Seattle Show, a design competiton where the 2009 winners will be announced (in all honesty I have no idea how I got on this distribution but it seems like a cool event):

Why: Go Support Seattle Designers!!

New Sushi Restaurant Opening!! Courtsey of the Fabu DC, it's opens tomorrow, Thursday the 5th in Ballard.

A drumroll for . . . . . . . . . Moshi Moshi Sushi!

Date: February 5th
Time: 4:30 pm (I think but I'm not sure because it's opening night)
Place: 5324 Ballard Ave NW
Seattle, WA 98107
Why: Because there is supposed to be a Cherry Blossom tree inside of the restaurant! And their happy hour menu prices look just right.

Support a Washington Artist: Love, Natalie

If you're looking for adorable and affordable baby onesie gifts, diaper bags, play mats that will be unique, handmade, and long lasting then you NEED to visit Natalie Carr of Love, Natalie's blog and her fabu Etsy shop.

In this time of the economy downturn (I know we all hear that everywhere we go), I think it's great to support local artists and get back to the simpler things. It's hard to ignor someone like Natalie who is a true budding talent.

Fun New Seattle Internet Findings: Lynne Alexander and Capitol Hill Blog

As this blog is not just about me but also the fabulousness that is Seattle, I thought of a new category: Fun New Seattle Internet Findings because I love to post about cool things I find out about Seattle and so much can be found online.

After I found the below perfect painting, I looked up the artist, Lynne Alexander, and discovered her fabulous website. She's agreed to a payment installment plan (because I am a broke 20 something) and I couldn't be more excited!



Then I found this cool Capitol Hill(my 'hood) blog that anyone can contribute to. Yay for community blogs. I browsed around and it's pretty awesome.

I really want this t-shirt!! But I'll have to wait until after the crazyness of the new year!
