Little Kids, Big City
On Tuesday, May 27, at noon, the Seattle Parks and Recreational Department's registration opens for their fact-packed nature programs. If you haven't been before, the Environmental Learning Centers' classes aren't snore-inducing biology lectures. Instead, the hikes and walks are more like a hands-on PBS nature show, without the gory bits.

A recent search for a field guide on the birds of Northern India led me to the charming new digs of Flora & Fauna Books. Last April, the Seattle institution moved from its subterranean space in Pioneer Square to an adorable cottage just outside Discovery Park in Magnolia.

From the antlers and crows showing up on artist Brian McGuffey's canvas at Square Room to the aviary candles at Burnt Sugar, Seattle home décor is going to the birds. And the deer. And the squirrels.

The trio of owners has transformed the petite boutique for fall. A pair of antlers hangs outside the shop. The exterior and interior walls are now a deep plum color, an oversized gilt framed mirror gives the illusion of spaciousness, a faux raven sits atop a pair of stag horns adorned with necklaces, and a black "crystal" chandelier is squarely centered on the ceiling. While it doesn't replicate the intensity of Norman Bates' taxidermy decor, it certainly gives a nod in that direction with an emphasis on organic and entomologically influenced accessories.
