They don’t feel like they go together, but this week they do. Seattle Public Schools are on spring break and the rest of us are within the final push to meet the tax deadline of April 15th. While some of you are on your way or already in a sunny spot, some of us are enjoying a staycation filled with last-minute visits to the CPA, long walks searching for deductions, and longer than usual stops into Sip and Ship. We are ready for you! With the aroma of freshly brewed Herkimer coffee and warm banana bread out of the oven, your visit can easily become an escape. Meanwhile, our shipping team prepares your certified mail documents for exotic destinations like Fresno, California. And you can go back to enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest- maybe with a little less traffic this week. :)
And while you are visiting the Island of Sip and Ship, don’t forget to check out our new spring arrivals. Home fragrances, Easter treats and hostess gifts sure to make your springtime parties and visits a hit.

As always, we look forward to seeing you!
