The House on Penn Cove

09/02/2024

It's the 2nd annual Penn Cove Jazz Guitar Workshop! We are hosting a very special House Concert with the two awesome musicians.

This is The House on Penn Cove on Whidbey Island, Washington State (I hate when an event that I want to attend is posted, and then I learn it's in a different country)

Space is limited, and donations warmly accepted. Get in touch if you want to come listen (DM or email)!

Just got the new logo design for the all girls jazz combo we started last year! Thank you Zack Wight at How It Works in Anacortes for doing such a great job with this.

Jazz musicians will get the name, Whidbey Islanders will get the Bridge.

Sunrise or sunset?

First house concert scheduled March-April. . .

Yippee!

Don't live on Whidbey and can't wait to get your hands on Clam the Wham? It's now for sale online.

Mom aka Beatrice Powell, wrote this charming little in 1983. I found the original artwork in a box after she died a few years ago.

Mom's art is lovely, and I'm delighted to share it with the world. I think she would be thrilled that it has been officially published.

The house in the book is The House on Penn Cove, which still stands and is now an Airbnb.

In 1983, my mom wrote a little book about a Clam and my sister, Min. In going through boxes of stuff, I found the original artwork for the book and am super excited to share the finished book. It is now available at the The Kingfisher Bookstore in Coupeville, Washington.

If you are standing downstairs in the bookstore, you can look out across the tidelands and see the inspiration for the book!

The book is a delight full of whimsy and would make a great Christmas present for readers of all ages.

Full disclosure - no clams were harmed or eaten in the making of the book.

Penn Cove mussels :-)

Everyone knows that an oyster filters up to 50 gallons of water per day. But what if shellfish aren’t there to do this job? What would it cost to remove

The art is in the house

Have you ever been to the paint store and counted how many different paint colors there actually are?

If you were at an Airbnb with a bad kitchen, would you want an Instant Pot?
