The shop is decorated and ready for the holidays with treasures to decorate with, to wear and for unique one of a kind gifts. It's a visual treat from our window to the back of the store. Look at the Seattle Sounders calendar for 2016 - It's beefcake in pink and would make a great gift. Best of all, 100% of the proceeds goes to the American Cancer Society for on-going research and support services for patients. The all volunteer run nonprofit American Cancer Society Shop hours are: Sun., 11–3 p.m.; Mon. - Sat., 10–4:30 p.m.
