Dr. Suess visits Brewed

The thing is, I don’t write well, so I think, “What’s the use?”

Maybe folks will dig my blog, if i write like Dr. Seuss.

I’m here at Brewed Awakenings, a quiet Friday night.

Thinking a Sidamo press would hit the spot just right.

Lovely Brooke, she hooked me up, and served me with a smile.

I think, perhaps, i’ll grab a chair and stick around a while.

Chris is drinking something he invented on the spot,

Strawberry chocolate something, i’ll NOT have what he’s got.

Brooke said he should add some cream to see how it would taste -

It only changed the color, and the cream has gone to waste.

New coffee is available, we just restocked the shelf,

The  iPod song  just thanked me for letting it be itself.

Now we have some Elton John, a super-mix for you…

So far I’ve heard some Steppenwolf, Prince and Blondie, too.

What an awesome place to sit and study, drink and chat.

Come down to Brewed Awakenings, and you’ll be where it’s at.

The password is…

I’ve got a secret for you all.

Warm-up your winking eye, practice your secret knocks, and start spreading the word in a whisper:

The most caffeinated drink in town is back just in time for finals and long summer days!

We’re keeping this intense and delicious little gem underground, but here’s a little hint just between you and me—X marks the spot at Brewed Awakenings!

Journey of a Guitar String

If you stop into Brewed often, you know we sell local artisans’ goods. A popular seller is Jewelry by Natalie. Natalie is the younger sister of a former employee of ours. She is a very creative teenager with a great stylish eye.

I noticed in her recent batch of jewelry that she had hoop earrings. Hoop earrings are not anything we’ve ever received from Natalie, and honestly, I was a little underwhelmed. It wasn’t until the other morning that in the background I heard our Leta tell Nate that she was buying a pair of Natalie’s earrings that were made from guitar strings. Surely I was hearing her wrong…guitar strings! Usually our other local artisan jeweler, Carissa, does crazy things with guitar pics & the like.

Since I’m not a guitar player, like Leta, I would have never known that indeed these earrings were made from guitar strings. Thanks for the education on guitar strings, Leta.  And way to go Natalie for taking your creativity to another level!

So, you, too, can follow the journey of this guitar string from a guitar, to Natalie’s hands, to our shelves & onto lovely Leta’s lobes. You  may even want to buy yourself a pair.
