The art of pastry making is the purest form of self expression for Tobey Layne, owner of Lamination Station LLC. After baking for more than 30 years, he finally started his own business. 🥐

His passion for baking began in college, after picking up The Italian Baker by Carol Field at a thrift store. During times of stress, he would bake. By the end of college the book was stained and burned from use. Layne knew it inside and out. He wound up in a new state looking for a job, and after interviewing to sell bread, he was determined to be overqualified. They wanted him to bake and the head chef just happened to be a researcher for The Italian Baker.

Since before recorded history began, human beings have celebrated their relationships with beautiful adornments. From wedding rings to friendship bracelets, gifts of customized jewelry can add an additional layer of meaning.

Megan Nuqul, owner and maker behind The Little Refinery, knows this well. Tired of paying for low-quality merchandise that didn’t last, Nuqul undertook the challenge of creating high-quality, simply beautiful jewelry—including permanent jewelry.

Erika Groshell, an officer of Western Washington University’s Hiking Club, is passionate about increasing accessibility to the outdoors.

“There are all sorts of these mental barriers that we put in place for the type of person who ‘hikes,’” Groshell says, going on to emphasize that you don’t have to be a hiker to hike, and that the outdoors are and should be for everyone.

Hiking can come with many benefits. From the uptick in endorphins being released from physical exertion to the vitamin D from the sun, to the mental tranquility that can come from getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city. While hikes can vary in difficulty, here are some of the more physically accessible hikes around Bellingham and the San Juan Islands!

From rickety lemonade stands to hitting the town, some things never change, including our love for a sweet and sour citrus beverage. The Tom Collins is what I like to think of as grown-up lemonade. A mix of gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda, this drink has all the tart, bubble, and tang you’re looking for to cool off on these warm summer nights. 🍋

Don’t have the ingredients to make it at home? Order one at Matthew’s Honest Cocktails in downtown Bellingham.
