I've noticed a few folks have been friending me here, and I just wanted to say "Hi"! Please don't be offended if I don't friend you back. I am using this forum a lot less lately, but I will continue to blog here, so if you want to read my ramblings, you can find them here for now. I really don't read much other than communities here anymore. Just thought I'd mention that, so you know.

If you are interested, I have a new blog post up!

To our beloved and much missed Wayward community,

After months of effort and exhaustive searching we have finally secured a new location for Wayward Coffeehouse!

The new site where we can once again gather over delicious coffee is in the Ravenna area at 65th and Roosevelt. We tried valiantly to find a suitable location in Greenwood, but although there are a few vacancies there, none met our needs for space and other criteria.

We are thrilled to finally have a new home and grateful that it is close by and we hope that many of you will still be able to come by as frequently as before. We are also excited to be able to spread the wonders of Wayward to a new neighborhood and expand the fabulous community of friends we built during our five years in Greenwood.

We hope to reopen by late October. There is a great deal of work to be done at our new space before we can once again greet all of you with a Muad’Dib Latte and Melbourne Sandwich. But we’re gathering the crew and work is underway to transform our new space into our much missed coffee haven.

We have been so grateful to all those who contributed to the Wayward Phoenix Fund in the weeks and months after the fire and those donations helped the staff survive as they sought interim employment and helped with our ongoing legal costs.

... but we still need your help.

If you can, please help us get reopened by donating to the Wayward Phoenix Fund. All new donations will be used to help with the costs of rebuilding at our new home. For more information on how to donate, please go to: Wayward Phoenix Fund Donations (http://www.sbcharities.org/?page_id=16) and look for the Wayward logo to donate online or for information on donating by check. We again wish to thank Seattle Browncoats Charities for their support and assistance.

We have missed you all so much and are eager to open our doors again to the wonderful community of Wayward friends. Keep watching your inbox for updates on our rebuilding progress!

We aim to keep flyin’ ...

A few months ago, I came across a display of handbags in the window of Fossil. I was in love! They had keyholes and large brass key keyfobs. Many seemed quite useful in a steampunk wardrobe. Being a frugal person, I did not buy one, so it was unrequited love. Well, yesterday at Macy's I discovered some of them on sale for 40% off! I am now the proud owner of a huge gorgeous bag that will work great for my many steampunk activities. I just thought that some of you might want to check it out.
