Market Analysts Say Now Is The Time To Buy

2011-05-08T21:18:00.000-07:00

Buying a home is now cheaper than renting in 4 out of 5 major U.S. cities. And, along with affordable home prices, low mortgage rates, and building economic confidence, the increase in rent makes market conditions ripe for prospective house hunters this spring and summer. Ken Shuman, of Trulia, said people looking to buy a house this summer should be encouraged by improvements in the market and feel optimistic about their chances of finding an affordable home, much more so than in previous years. Conditions are particularly good for buyers looking to stay in their home for at least five years. Because prices are expected to appreciate slowly, industry experts say the market is best for buyers looking to plant roots or find a family home.

Selling Coos Bay Real Estate? Clean Your Home for Closing.

2011-03-25T18:26:00.000-07:00

Selling real estate can be an arduous process, but it is important to remember to leave a home clean for the closing. Today many homes are languishing on the market, offering up long periods of time that a seller has to keep a home tidy for showings and open houses. Cleaning may be the last thing on a seller's mind come closing day.

Most buyers will clean a home, possibly paint a home, and maybe even rip carpet and flooring up to replace, but it is still a positive move to leave your home in the best possible condition for the new owner.

What should a seller do? Remove all personal effects from the home, clean the floors, clean the appliances inside and out, clean the bathrooms, wipe down walls, wipe cabinet fronts and interior shelving and drawers, and check attic, basement, and garage spaces as well.

Your real estate contract most likely has language in it that states what condition your home should be in when ownership changes hands. If you don't know, check with your REALTOR. Most importantly, try to think about what condition you would appreciate finding your home in on move-in day.

Rents may go up, Good time to buy a Coos Bay Home?

2011-03-24T20:38:00.000-07:00

There is much talk in the real estate world about increasing rents. The decrease in home ownership caused by the bursting of the nation’s housing bubble, combined with an increase in renters has put a big demand on rental markets across the country. This demand is creating a competitive market that is allowing a climate for rents to increase.

This is a prime example of how owning a Coos Bay home can be more beneficial than renting in certain markets. Housing is more affordable than it has been in years in the majority of the United States. Mortgage rates are low, inventories are high, and home values are still falling. In areas where a monthly mortgage payment is the same or less than monthly rent, home ownership is a wise investment.

The National Association of Realtors has been hosting “Home Ownership Matters”, visiting cities across the nation and educating people on the values of home ownership. A staggering statistic that they show is that the majority of home owners have a net worth of more than 30 times that of renters.

The mere fact that rents can go up as much as 10%, whereas fixed rate mortgage rates stay the same, make buying a Coos Bay home in today’s market smarter than renting, for those that can afford to buy a home. Rent is, in essence, paying someone else’s mortgage.

Stop paying someone else's mortage today and contact Jan Delimont, a Coos Bay Realtor, about Coos Bay real estate for sale. Jan Delimon can be reached at 541-290-1850 or by email.

Vacation Real Estate, It's What's Selling

2011-01-20T18:58:00.001-08:00

Vacation real estate appears to be what is selling. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal noted how vacation property and second home markets are starting to see activity. When real estate is suffering all over the nation what is making vacation real estate loosen up? Low mortgage rates and bargain prices. While volume is way up in certain sought-after areas, prices are down and that is bringing buyers in, buyers who don’t want to miss the opportunity to buy a vacation home.

The key is patience and an absence of emotion. The true deals are being bought by patient buyers who are submitting offers until they succeed in finding sellers who are willing to accept a low price. A lot of vacation properties are being bought by cash buyers who are in a position to offer a quick closing with no financing contingencies. As the economy improves so do the piggy banks of the wealthy, who are all too happy to buy a second home in a desirable location.

Coos Bay Home Owner Benefits

2010-12-12T22:14:00.000-08:00

Many people grow up assuming that they will own a home one day, and while the days of taking everything for granted may appear as days gone by, Coos Bay OR home ownership is a viable dream that has its benefits. Recent reports show that those who own a home are often more financially stable than those who have stuck to renting.

If you have been considering Coos Bay home ownership here are some of the benefits you could expect from your endeavor:

Affordability. Right now OR home ownership is at the highest affordability level seen in years. The historically low interest rates, high inventories and low home values have created an ideal buyers market.

Community. Owning a home helps create roots in a community. Neighborhood involvement, dedication to local education, and community spirit all seem more prevalent for those who own homes and are dedicated to making their neighborhood a better place to live.

Tax break. While there is talk about putting an end to the mortgage interest deduction, for the time being the tax law is still in effect. The ability to write off mortgage interest paid is an added bonus of home ownership that you will especially appreciate come April 15th.

Ownership. While you may start off by financing your home, if you stay in it long enough it will eventually be yours. Having your monthly payments go toward owning a home, rather that making your landlord richer, is a great accomplishment.

Equity. Owning a home is typically like owning a giant piggy bank. Homes typically appreciate each year, making your home more valuable the longer you stay in it.

Home ownership is still seen as a beneficial move and when it comes to southern Coos Bay real estate there couldn't be a better time to be a buyer. For those who have steady income, money set aside for a down payment, and the desire to stay in an area for the next two to five years, it might just be time to jump off the fence and let Jan Delimont, a Coos Bay Oregon Realtor, find the perfect starter Coos Bay home that meets your needs today.

Coos Bay Real Estate: Mortgage Rates Going Nowhere For Now

2010-03-01T07:17:00.000-08:00

The good news for Coos Bay real estate is that interest rates appear to be staying put until the US economy gets back on track and stays there. This past week Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, announced his desire to keep interest rates low due to the fragility of the economy. Unemployment figures are continuing to rise. These increasing unemployment figures are interfering with recovery and affecting real estate and general sales figures in Coos Bay Oergon and across the Country.

Historically low interest rates and low home values combined with the extended and expanded First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit, have been instrumental in boosting real estate sales in the Coos Bay area. These incentives are bringing buyers off of the sidelines and have created a true “buyer’s market”.

Real estate is typically a catalyst for for economic recovery and keeping mortgage rates low will be a significant help in keeping the sales coming.

Click here to see a recent article about Ben Bernanke and his commitment to keeping interest rates low.

Human Trafficking Program Sponsored by Zonta a Success

2009-11-22T08:33:00.000-08:00

Zonta sponsored the following program along with "The Commission on Children and families".

This is a program put on last Wednesday, November 18th, at the Chamber of Commerce IBO luncheon. There were 118 attendees at the one hour Chamber of Commerce program. This was followed by an afternoon of training. This training included 82 community members: police, social workers, health care workers, representatives of religious organizations, etc. The members of the Human Trafficking Task Force were so pleased with the strong community support, they are looking for individuals to start a task force in Coos County. Please contact me for more information.

Teenage runaways and “throw-aways” are especially vulnerable to human traffickers. Meth or other drugs can be used to recruit or control victims. This is not just a big city, urban problem. Twenty homeless youth, either runaways or abandoned by their parents, between the ages of 11 to 17 years (11 boys and 9 girls), were identified in January, 2009, during a one night “street” survey in Coos County conducted by the Oregon Housing and Community Services to count the homeless in our community. This is a Coos County issue. We need to recognize the victims and assist them and help prevent others from becoming victims.

Be careful What You Spend on Remodeling
Posted: 22 Nov 2009 07:08 AM PST

Buyers are looking at the basics. In Coos County, a good roof is critical with our winds and rain on the coast. A nice entry welcomes buyers. Just like meeting a person for the first time, that first impression (the entry) sets the tone for the home tour. When you click into more information of the cost vs. value at the bottom of the page, you will learn more about where to invest or not invest, in remodeling.

Take a look at the cost vs. value when taking on a remodel project
Be careful what you spend these days when you are thinking about remodeling your house. Home values are down and so are the recovered costs of remodeling. In 2005, at the peak of the real estate market, approximately 87% of the cost of a remodel would be recouped in the sale of a home. Today’s real estate market is recovering approximately 64% of the remodel costs. Everybody is watching their wallets, so if you are considering a remodel think carefully.
While remodel costs are down it is important to remember that home values are down too. Unless you want to stay in your home for a long time you cannot count on recovering costs of a major remodel.
The most cost effective remodel items today are: Roofing, siding, windows, and doors. Similarly, redoing a basement or attic is recommended instead of adding an addition. These items are recommended because a seller will recoup a greater percentage of the cost when they sell their home.

Art History Lecture at Coos Art Museum

2009-11-11T10:36:00.000-08:00

CAM's Fall Lecture Series continues on November 19 featuring Art Historian Anne Sobbota. The illustrated lecture is titled “Form and Fragment: the Purposeful Language of Visual Art” and is an intimate visual and philosophic journey into works from the 15th through 21st century Western culture. This lecture is focused around the premise: "The artist is reflector, predictor and definer of cultural change". Using the Classical Greek form and ideals as the standard for comparison she will examine transitions in artistic representation of the human form and environment, then analyze the way in which these transitions reflect cultural sentiments, stresses and impending changes in historic trends. Ultimately, her talk will lead us to ask a contemporary version of Paul Gauguin's question, "...Where Are We Going?" and perhaps even to draw a few predictions.

Anne is a graduate of California State University, Los Angeles with a Master's Degree in Art History and an emphasis on the development of photography. She taught high school art, photography and television production in Corona, California for 10 years. Sobbota also taught art history as an Adjunct Professor at Pasadena Community College and at Glendale Community College.

The lecture will be held in the museum’s Uno E Richter Atrium Gallery on Thursday November 19 at 7pm. General admission is $5 (free for museum members). CAM asks that you pre-register by calling 267-4877.

Fall storm on the Oregon Coast

2009-11-08T09:49:00.000-08:00

Too Big for me.

Pete wanted to do a little short notice surfing inside Sunset Bay. The weather forecast was for small craft advisory. I had an open canoe on the roof of my car and tossed a wet suit in the car with my regular kit. I checked out the wave issue on the coast for myself and decided an open canoe was not safe to play in. Pete on the other hand had his kayak and helmet with a number of years more surfing experience than me.

This is a view of Shore Acres State Park. You can see the people standing on the far left. It gives a good idea of the scale of these huge waves.

The view after the wave.

This is a great spot as the waves explode when the air gets trapped against the tilted rocks.

This was not a place for any boat.

YouTube - Shore Acres Storm

Behind these rocks is Sunset Bay. It is protected by some rocks and the island with the dead trees on it.

YouTube - Cape Arago Light House

Inside the bay the waves were confused. Multiple breaks were all over the bay and moved frequently.

Even if it was too big for my open canoe it was a great day to enjoy a fall storm on the Oregon coast.

Tree-friendly Blank Cards!

2009-10-21T15:00:00.000-07:00

This is a great time of year for hand made greeting cards and Strathmore has introduced an earth-friendly blank card alternative. These cards are made with a blend of alternative fibers and post-consumer waste fiber and they are beautiful!

The sugar cane cards are made of 50% sugar cane and 50% post-consumer waste fiber and have a smooth light cream surface with subtle flecks. The hemp cards are 25% hemp and 75% post-consumer fiber. They are a cooler off-white with slight flecks and a laid pattern. The bamboo cards are 90% bamboo fiber and 10% cotton. They are a warm off-white with a surface rather like a good quality watercolor paper, somewhere between cold press and hot press.

These cards are a beautiful and “green” alternative for your hand-made art cards. Now you can make a statement with your materials as well as your art!

Trains and Quilt Frames

2009-10-02T16:28:00.000-07:00

For every gallon of fuel, a train can move one ton of freight 460 miles. Why? Because of the small amount of friction that steel wheels have against steel rails. The Queen Quilter uses the same technology of steel wheels on steel rails for the same reason, it moves fluidly with little effort.

Good quality quilting makes a pieced top more spectacular. When you have completed your artistic interpretation by piecing a quilt top the art does not end there. You can dramatically change the look of a quilt top with the quilting. To make your quilt more spectacular you can accent the top by outlining and highlighting the important features. This can be done by close quilting the background to make them retreat from your view and outlining to enhance the foreground. This can be done with both patterns colors and textures. This is easiest to do on a Longarm quilting machine.

An incredible quilt from the show that demonstrates how quilting makes a quilt.

What makes a long arm-quilting machine different form a regular household machine?

Large industrial needle

Hopping Foot

No Feed Dogs

Long Throat space

Needs a frame

Quilting at high speed the needle takes some abuse, as it will still be in the quilt as the machine is moving. This can cause the needle to flex, which can cause skipped stitches, make loops or even break needles hence the need for an industrial needle.

The hopping foot holds down the quilt as the needle comes out of the fabric then hops up slightly to let the machine glide easily across the quilt.

No feed dogs allow you to move any direction across the quilt so a sensor is very useful to stop the machine when movement stops to prevent knots that can jam the machine and break needles.

The long distance from the back of the machine to the needle is the throat space. For example this varies from 5 ¼ inches on a Singer feather weight to 9 7/8 inches on the Viking Sapphires. Longarm (long arm) machines are from 16 to 26 inches. The size of the pattern you wish to complete determines how long a throat you need. For free hand quilting the 18-inch throat allows you to quilt a 12-inch block with an entire king size quilt rolled up inside the throat.

Critical to the function of a long arm-quilting machine is a quality frame. The frame needs to be stiff enough to allow good control of the needle in all directions at any speed. Both the frame and the deck must move easily in all directions to quilt easy circles and sew diagonal lines.

Espresso Shop in a Boat

2009-08-28T15:43:00.001-07:00

This 1973 Fiberform was gutted and fabricated into an espresso shop in 2008-2009. The boat (then named the Wetta the Betta) was used in the Port Orford, Bandon area as a fishing vessel for many years. After a trade and barter deal made by my father (John Berge) in the late 80's the boat was in his north forty for a long span of years.
While I was out of work for several months my father came up with the idea for the shop. My brother (David Berge), myself, and my father spent 3 months on the project. We began gutting the fiberglass shell and framing up in September 2008 and finished construction in December 2008. The shop was on highway 101 south of Bandon for 2 months and moved to its current spot in May 2009.
We serve custom espresso drinks. Most of the drinks can be served either hot or cold. Creamosas and red bull drinks are very popular items.
We are located in Coquille, Oregon at 1081 West Central.

Sewing Machine Repair

2009-08-14T14:02:00.000-07:00

I hear this frequently at my store, "my sewing machine just needs a tension
adjustment as it is making loops on the back of my fabric."

Many times it is not a tension problem. Here is a link to a you tube slide show
I created I hope it will help someone that is having tension problems that do
not go away with tension adjustments. This was done on a long arm quilting machine the Tin Lizzie 18 LS but the theory is the same for other machines.

What a great place to live

2009-08-14T13:57:00.000-07:00

I was at work at 7:00 P. M. and decided I should take advantage of the nice evening. I drove home and by 7:36 had taken my first picture from on the water.

I could see the fog drifting in from the ocean and headed towards the North Bend Bridge for a picture or two.

The colors kept changing as the sun set. It was hard to shoot at low shutter speed from a rocking canoe.

Artsy shot.

The fog became thicker and swallowed the bridge.

As I came back a doe and fawn were on the skyline inside the city.

It was a great 2 hour paddle.

Graceful Envelope Contest

2009-08-07T10:24:00.000-07:00

The following link will delight anyone who loves to letter or just appreciates lettering art. Each year the Graceful Envelope Contest is sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers and administered by the Washington Calligraphers Guild. Calligraphers from around the country vie for top honors by creating an envelope design. In addition to promoting the art of calligraphy, the Graceful Envelope Contest celebrates the role of letters in binding people together and serves as a reminder that the people who deliver the mail are career government employees who take pride in their work and care about the communities they serve.

See this year’s winners and learn more about the contest at http://calligraphersguild.org/envwinners2009.html

This year’s theme was Address the Environment. Entrants were urged to design an envelope that promotes the preservation of our natural world and address it artistically. A trio of judges looked for skill in lettering, effective use of color and design, and creative interpretation of the theme. Enjoy!

Encaustic - Painting with Hot Wax!

2009-07-27T17:17:00.000-07:00

Encaustic painting, painting with pigmented hot wax, is an ancient method that is currently enjoying a resurgance. Encaustic painting allows a wide variety of working techniques from delicate layering of thin, transparent glazes to the creation of heavy impasto textures. The wax paints are gently warmed to the melting point in their tins on a pancake griddle and applied with natural bristle brushes. The wax cools and hardens quickly but can be re-heated and re-worked endlessly.

Enkaustikos® Hot Cakes® brand of wax paints are now available at Art Connection. They contain only the finest artist grade pigments which are lightfast and engineered to withstand the heat requirements of the encaustic process without colorshifts. Hot Cakes are also solvent-free! The colors are rich and creamy.

And the Winner Is.....

2009-07-17T12:15:00.000-07:00

Three artists have won top awards at Coos Art Museum’s 16th Annual Maritime Art Exhibition, they are Austin Dwyer of Mukilteo, Washington who received the “Best of Show Award” for his oil painting “The Whalers,” Harold W. Johnson of SeaTac, Washington who received the “Port Award”, selected by the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay, for his oil painting “Tillamook Bay” and Frank Gaffney of Kirkland, Washington who received the “Directors’ Award,” selected by the museum’s Board of Directors, for his oil painting “Nice Row of Seats.”

Tonight's Wine Walk (Friday 7/17) is a great opportunity to see these paintings. Hours of the Wine Walk are 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. (See post below for further information).

Yet to be selected is this year’s “Peoples’ Choice Award”. Visitors to the museum will be able to vote for their favorite work through the end of August, at which time this important honor will be given to the work with the most votes.

The “Best of Show” juror and featured artist of the 16th Annual Maritime Art Exhibition was Buck Braden of Tualatin, Oregon. He commented upon how difficult it was to select only one “Best of Show” from such an outstanding body of works and that many more deserved special recognition. He chose three works to receive “Awards of Merit”:
“Walking Through the Dunes” an oil by Richard Boyer of Salt Lake City, Utah
“Monkey Fist” an oil Jon L. Olson of Seal Beach, California
“Exploring the Pacific” an oil by Grant Saylor of Everett, Washington

Coos Art Museum has been a cultural focal point of Oregon’s scenic Southern Coast since 1966. It occupies a historic 1936 Art Deco US Federal Building in downtown Coos Bay and offers a wide range of arts activities including exhibitions, art classes and lectures. Hours are 10:00am to 4:00pm, Tuesday through Friday and 1:00 to 4:00 pm on Saturday. Museum admission: $5 general, $2 students and seniors, free to museum members.

"The beautiful paper I used to decoupage the drawer fronts of this old seen better days desk was purchased from Art Connection. I now have the little desk in my space at Leaf's Tree House on 3rd in Coos Bay. The paper has a nice handmade look about it with beautiful script and ginko leaves. It was the perfect paper for this project, just what I wanted. Thank you for being there when I needed the perfect paper."

Two Days on the John Day River

2009-07-13T21:54:00.000-07:00

My trip was shortened from one week and 115 miles to two days and 47 miles. We put in on the John Day at Service Creek.

The John Day is over 300 miles with no dams. It begins in the Ocheco Mountains and Blue Mountains. I drove up from the Columbia after visiting my grand children in Richland Wa. My son in law got off work and we drove the 4 hours to the take out. Pitching the tent in the dark desert was not a problem until at sunrise I realized the tent was swarmed with fire ants. Fortunatly the sewed in floor and bug nets did a very good job. Only 2 of the hundreds of ants made it into the tent. It was a more powerful wake up than an alarm clock. I jumped out of my sleeping bag and at 4:30 was ready to get on the river.

Sunrise at Clarno Bridge with my inverted SOTP shot.

We left one rig and drove to Service Creek at river mile 157.

I did a few experiments on this trip. I copied the images from Google Earth of the river I wanted to run. I could not figure how to print the entire river at the scale I wanted so using alt prntscreen I pasted the images to a Publisher file, with one image per page. Then I was able to put notes from two other river guides along with the river miles, powerlines, rapids and camp sites. I thought it would be great to have a photo from canoe level of the entrance to the major rapids.

Russo Rapids Class II from Google Earth. I was very pleased with my map. I could even tell where the main channel was from the arial photos.

This section is not as remote or steep as it is further down the river. It drops 8 feet per mile and 11 feet per mile further down. There were farms where the soil was not too steep or rocky. This horse ranch was beautiful with a large home overlooking his foals.

This little lizzard was along the shore but he would not pose with the big rocks in the background like I wanted.

There were thousands of swallow burrows in the soft cliffs. I noticed some even eroded the banks.

These poor ospreys were being bullied by the tiny red winged blackbird. It hit the nesting bird in the back while it sat on its eggs minding its own business. I also saw them chassing a blue heron and other ospreys.

As you descend the river you are going back in time, as the river cuts deeper into the painted desert. It was great to travel with my son in law the geologist. He had more information than I can recall about what time span we were seeing and where the bands of ash came from and what geological period.

I thought this looked like a cinder cone but Jake says it is erosion instead.

This is the entrance to Burnt Ranch Rapids Class III. I put a bolt in the end of a trecking pole and mounted my camera on the end before the trip. Then I lashed it to the stern and tied the camera to the hull just as a precaution in case of a capsize.

I let Jake scout this rapid while I made my camera mount. For a first attempt this worked ok. I put the camera a little too low. But the worst part was the best video I deleted hence I only have the smaller Lower Burnt Ranch Rapid Class II.

YouTube - Lower Burnt Ranch Rapids

This was one of may unique un-named formations.

Our first camp site near Rattlesnake Creek mile 122. I was hoping to get a picture of a rattlesnake and brought my high top boots and trecking pole as a snake stick. Two miles of hiking and no live snakes I was a little disappointed. After 35 miles of paddling I was too tired to search longer. Before sunset I was asleep.

I liked this tiny flower tucked away between the sharp spines of a cacti.

There were several camp sites but we had the river this night all to ourself. I was very pleased that the previous users had left no garbage other than a few charred sticks. We left no trace for the next users.

Jake is fashionable dressed in a garbage bag instead of his London Fog.

Here is my SOTP shot. I looked at a lot of scenery to get this image.

I found these basalt columns impressive.

These ancient rock paintings are not easy to find as those that know where they are will not tell strangers that may damage them. I am not telling either.

I wish I could interpret these. I read that they were frequently next to a good food gathering site. It did look like a perfect spot for an ambush of animals going to the river to drink.

This one looked like a hand print that said I was here.

It looks like this was the paint sticks used.

This is a band of ash from the mountain that created Crater Lake according to Jake.

Sometimes you wonder who put that big rock in the middle of the river?

Jakes is wearing his sun protecting shirt and hat to beat the desert sun. Note my navigation table with compass on the the wet bag. I could tell from the color pictures on the map that matched the hills color.

We saw these caves and climbed up to see them closer.

This cave was only a few dozen yards deep. The floor was deep with sharp shards that had fallen from the ceiling. Since there were many more loose rocks above our heads we felt it prudent to not stay too long. I wonder what creatures were buried under our feet.

The coyotes had recently eaten a blue bird in one of the caves.

This colorful cliff was full of stones glued together with some sort of ash and mud flow.

There were numerous large families of geese and they were quite unafraid. I suspect they do not see much hunting pressure.

The painted desert with the growing thunderstorm made me pull over and get the video camera out of the river bag. While waiting for a big bolt of lightning I spied an osprey. It was a real challenge to keep it in the viewfinder. The auto-focus was confused by all the changes as I spun in circles. At one point I had to stop looking in the viewfinder to keep my balance.

YouTube - John Day Osprey

This osprey was having a bad day. A pair of red winged black birds gave this osprey a rough time. Then when it caught the biggest fish of its life its eyes were bigger than its wings and it could not take off. Before and after it got airborne the black birds were on the attack again. Nature is such a trip.

Instead of driving back the Columbia river I wanted to see the headwaters in the Ochoco Mountains where there is more painted desert.

John Day Fossil Beds National Park has three separate sections one is the painted desert.

As I climbed up the mountains you change from desert to lush green big pine forests.

It was a short trip but a great way to spend two days seeing a different side of Oregon.

Now the big question who wants to go paddle a canoe?

July 4rth Memories in Coos Bay, Oregon

2009-07-05T22:09:00.000-07:00

Last week at our Sunrise Rotary Meeting, I listened to the writings in the Constitution for the first time in decades. It was long and had information in it that reminded me what independence from Monarchy is supposed to be. Shame on me for not studying our history more thoroughly. The night of the 4rth I met one of our local teachers who is serving us in the National Guard. What sincerity of spirit he has, we are truly fortunate to have people like him protecting us.

Saying I'm Sorry with flowers from Checkerberry's Flowers & Gifts

2009-07-02T10:13:00.000-07:00

Oops!

Did you forget your best friend’s birthday? Your wedding anniversary? Or did your dog get into your neighbor’s vegetable garden…again? There’s nothing like sending some gorgeous I’m sorry flowers to mend a fence—or a heart, for that matter. And don’t worry, we offer so many beautiful I’m sorry flower arrangements that whatever put you on the dog house to begin with, will soon be forgotten. And forgiven. Whether you’re looking for something sunny and bright, or sensitive and serene we’re sure you’ll find it in our selection of I’m Sorry Flower Bouquets. Any of them offer you the perfect way to say what’s in your heart. That’s because there’s something special about sending I’m sorry flowers. Especially when you order them from us. Because we don’t deliver our flowers in a box. Ever. Every one of our bouquets is hand-arranged, hand-delivered and ready to be appreciated. Immediately. There’s never any need for trimming, dodging thorns or searching for the right container. Words can’t always express your feelings. But an I’m sorry flower delivery is always a thoughtful way of sending the right message.

Sumi-e Painting Tools in Coos Bay

2009-06-25T16:29:00.000-07:00

Japanese and Chinese painting styles are increasing in popularity in the U.S. We have expanded our sumi-e department with the addition of the Yuming Asian Art Brushes developed by Yuming Zhu, produced by Connoisseur®. Originally trained in China, Yuming Zhu is an accomplished sumi painter and teacher. Brushes used in sumi are usually wolf hair and sheep hair in bamboo. “Wolf hair” can actually be horse hair, boar bristle or other animal hair. The brush’s ability to hold and retain a point is critical to a sumi painter, since one brush is used to create the widest and thinnest of lines. The hairs used in each brush are determined by its use in painting. Soft, absorbant sheep hair holds generouse amounts of ink for flow and coverage. The thicker, sturdier hairs provide support and springiness. Yuming brushes are available now at Art Connection with special introductory pricing of 30% off list.

HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY DONALD DUCK!

2009-06-09T10:50:00.000-07:00

Donald Duck, full name Donald Fauntleroy Duck, is celebrating his 75th birthday today. The temperamental sailor duck made his debut in the June 9, 1934 Disney Symphony short titled The Wise Little Hen. There has some been a birthday controversy over the years since a couple of Donald Duck's other roles gives his birthday as Friday, March 13th, an omen perhaps.
