If you are looking for a great gift or something to decorate your home then look no further than Hubbub. I needed a unique gift, but just could not figure out what to buy. Rebecca took the time to show me around the store and assist me. She was the perfect salesperson- making sure she asked the appropriate questions so the receiver would be happy with a personal gift. I can't thank her enough! If you are looking for something unique, original, and locally owned then visit Hubbub. You won't be disappointed.

What a beautiful day in the PNW for a little day trip!…read more I saw a post from a general store in Doty, WA, featuring Grandma's recipe for lemon curd. I had never heard of this town, so off we went to explore. What a cute little gem of a spot for their community! The owner, Chris, was so kind, and the few locals inside were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and happy to share the history of their town. I grabbed one of each of the bakery items, and they were kind enough to hold them for me in case they sold out--so thankful for that. Anyhow... holy lemon curd! That is delicious! They should sell it in a jar--yes, please! The sourdough bread is so cute, and I'm excited to slice into it for a BLT for dinner. If you are in or around the area, I highly recommend making a stop--especially if they have the lemon curd cinnamon rolls.

Set nestled in fir trees surrounded by small mountains you find a river flowing past vast fields of sweet blue berries. The farm house, surrounding berry processing buildings, U-pick stands and gift/U-pick pay shop are a delight to the senses. There are many small touches that bring this farm past just getting your berries in a bucket. The buckets themselves are a good size for any adult to carry. I filled mine just over 1/2 full and had five pounds of berries. They also have cut baby buckets for kids to use. The row that are open are well marked with colored tapes and the father you into the rows the larger and more plentiful the berries! Here is a hint, go around 2/3 pm and walk all the way down to the West end of the row, this is where I found bushes heaped with large ripe in the "SHADE"! I could have sat in the grass and filled my bucket with out moving! This is a great place to bring your friends and family. The gift/U-pick pay shop has fresh berries for sale buy the pint/flat, honey, drinks, and other things for sale.

Bennie is extremely knowledgeable. In the past years since our neighborhood nursery closed, we've…read morebeen searching for a source of hanging flower baskets that were even close to being as nice. This year, we finally found Bennie's! She allowed us to make custom pre-orders in January when she was still selecting flowers. She showed us her Proven Winners catalog and had great suggestions for what would grow well together. Today we picked up our baskets and they look fabulous. I can't wait to see what they look like in August! The only disappointment was that with 11 hanging baskets in the Suburban, I only had room to take home 1 more plant. So back to Bennie's we'll go to bring home some beautiful geraniums, lavender, clematis, roses, or dozens of other annuals and perennials. Everything looked extremely healthy and vigorous. Customers are spoiled for choice, and prices are extremely reasonable. Well worth the 3 hour round trip!

Definitely add this to your next stop You won't be disappointed. Again, thank you Kate for everything you're so sweet. My 1-year-old daughter was getting a little fussy and she gave her a chocolate.
