Back issues available

The phone rang off the hook with comments and questions from readers. We were happy to get so much feedback. It's amazing how many people went to Lincoln High School that still live in the area.

If you'd like a back issue, call the Maven office at 206-440-9149.

Thanks to all who contributed

Thanks to the many people in the community who contributed to our 4th annual History issue. We were very blessed to receive more than we could print this year. With the exception of the Ravenna Caves, appearing this issue in Stan Stapp's column and the story of Provail also running this month, we will hold them until next August. We always welcome suggestions at any time of the year. We especially would love to be able to scan in your historic photos which will be returned to you.

Tiny Violet

The history brief on Tiny Violet in Wedgwood was also accidentally omitted. The business was established in 1997. Owner Eve Anthony Hanninen was a freelance artist who got a job 10 years ago to assist in finishing a miniature mansion. She became hooked on miniature craft-making. Three years ago, she teamed up with friend Nancy Harris to start Duet Gifts & Miniatures. Hanninen changed the name of the business to Tiny Violet after Harris passed away in July of last year. The name came from a dream she had in the early 1990s. "I dreamed I began a miniatures business and that my first sale was paid by a check that was made out to: 'Pay to the order of Tiny Violet.' I woke and said 'That's the name of my future store!"
