This event will be hosted at the Mustard Seed House and if you are able consider bringing a snack or beverage to share.

Eliacin’s Photo Exhibit

 

 

Dear Seattle Friends,

I am doing a month long photo show/exhibition at Cloud City Coffee House in Maple Leaf Neighborhood.I will be donating a portion (25%) of the proceeds to the Save Darfur Fund.

 I will be including around 10 pieces which will be up from August 16 to September 15.

 Stop by if you are in the area, take a look, grab some coffee or better yet try their fantastic roasted artichoke hearts sandwich.

Peace,

Eliacín

Another Garden Day

Today was garden day at the Mustard Seed House – a great opportunity to enjoy each others’ company, harvest the blessing of God’s bounty as well as to start to get ready for Fall (yes it is the beginning of September). We started with a delicious breakfast of Greek omelette & peach scones and then moved on to harvest apples (about 100lb of them), tomatoes, tomatillos beans, potatoes and squash. We was amazing to see how much weeding we could do in a couple of hours. It was a fun and satisfying morning.

Today we were joined by Jana Prothman who has just moved back to Seattle after spending time in Washington DC . She is interested in community and this seemed an ideal way to get acquainted.
