Amy Fries models one of Briar Bates' fashions at Prrr in Wallingford, Seattle

I dropped by Biznik member Briar Bates‘ shop, Prrr, in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood this afternoon to check out her pre Valentine tea and shopping party. Briar hand makes jewelry and some vertigo-inducing lacy girly clothing, which turned out to be just the right combination to end my quest for a Valentine’s Day gift. I snapped a few pix of some of the jewelry and fashion accessories that she makes by hand in her shop, and thought I’d share ‘em with you all. I’ll be interviewing Briar for a lengthier post about her wearable art later this month.

Prrr is located at 1216 N 40th St. in Seattle, and is open by appointment. Call (206) 499-4474 to make sure the shop is open there before you drop in.

    Well, if I did I wouldn’t tell here, now would I? It’s a surprise, silly!
