I always get nervous before a big sale -- like I should've trained harder, stretched more, recruited more friends to help fend off crazed shoppers. But the Crave Spring Market Party, from noon to 4 p.m. June 1 at Seattle Center's Fisher Pavilion, is nothing to stress about, particularly since there will be plenty of opportunities for pampering.

Urban Living is a gem of a shop that focuses on feminine and fragrant
nature-inspired gifts and accessories for the home and body. On a

But in the light of day, my walls more closely resemble an unfortunate South Beach coral. It was with this painting error in mind that I approached Authentic Home Color Paint Bar in West Seattle to select a paint color for my master bathroom.
