Page 8 Huckleberry Press June 30, 2016 TIME WARP 1800’S: WHAT A GREAT IDEA! Westbound travelers of Highway 2 slowly cruise into Davenport, Washington. Their eyes are drawn to the interesting array of old-timey edifices of the Black Bear Motel and Antiques. They become enticed by the nostalgia and unusual décor, and succumb to their curiosity. Suddenly, the travelers have entered the 1800s. Kim and Mark Elwood moved to Davenport in 2003. At that time, when they purchased the motel, it needed many improvements and repairs. “We knew we wanted to drastically change the way it looked, because it is one of the first impressions of Davenport when entering from the East,” said Kim. The design ideas came from the old pioneer days, and the process was very time-consuming. “I spent days at the Davenport Museum going through albums, trying to make our place resemble buildings that were here in the 1800’s”. The Elwoods have been avid antique collectors for more than 35 years. “Now we want to share our love of antiques with others, in our new store featuring antiques, gifts and design!” Kim has spent countless hours creating handmade window treatments, one-of-a-kind lighting displays, and applying faux wall painting designs. “I always look at an item and think, what can I make it into that it never was before?” Visitors will discover unique flooring, bedding, linens, and house wares, as well as displays and shelving up-cycled from everything from cribs to boats to bathtubs. Every nook and cranny holds something interesting! Space-to-space and room-to-room, visitors will find items for all areas of the home and garden. Do not miss the Tribal Room, including authentic rain sticks, dream catchers, pottery, and more, handcrafted from Four Corners’ Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni designers. The Black Bear’s wide range of collections from skilled crafters and designers are sure to inspire collectors and creative minds. Kim and Mark cherish their patrons, and want them to have such a memorable experience that they’ll travel out of their way to repeatedly visit the motel and antique store. Reserve your 1800s themed room early, so you can begin and end your pioneer experience with Kim and Mark at the Black Bear Motel and Antiques. Remember to bring your to bring your camera. The Black Bear is the perfect place to capture nostalgic memories with your friends and family. They are now kicking off the summer season.

June 30, 2016 Huckleberry Press Page 9 A Beautiful Backyard Country Wedding By Celia Hanning Therens & Gladys Hanning There were exactly five hundred twenty five pickets that my dad, Steven Hanning, cut, sanded, primed, painted and replaced, to enclose our backyard wedding. Hanging from the great willow tree, the arbors, and umbrellas were handmade yellow, white and gray tissue flowers. Our bar, a vintage baby bathtub, filled with wine, complemented by an antique green wooden wagon loaded with galvanized washtubs, for our guests to grab an icy cold drink. My mother, Gladys Hanning and I used many of the vintage treasures from our business, Junebug Furniture and Design, along with a bazillion creative ideas to personalize my wedding day. Both my mother and I are passionate about vintage style. The key elements to our design for a timeless look are comfort, simplicity, an appreciation for the imperfect and a sense of practicality. Here are some of our ideas that became a reality and the backdrop for our special day; The old pickets, from my families’ fence, were repurposed to welcome and direct guests. My mother's vintage bicycle, painted white was a perfect fit for my color scheme, its basket filled with moss, and yellow pansies, was tucked in a corner flowerbed. Leaning against the fence was an old rusty bedspring, filled with white paper holders and puffs of yellow cotton candy. The ceremony took place in the simple but elegant front yard of my parent’s home. I walked down the path on my father's arm, where my soon to be husband, Josh waited for me at the front porch. After vows were exchanged, the guests proceeded to the backyard, where they were welcomed with lemonades with the cutest yellow straws, ready for guests to sip and begin the evening. A hand-stenciled banner gently flying in the breeze was tied to the fence announcing "Just Married." White lights were strung under the large willow tree, and the trees bordering the backyard. There were candles floating in the pool. All of these elements created a magical setting! The party came to life under an amazing white tent. Dinner tables were set with fresh white table linens and handmade yellow linen napkins. Vintage bottles in all shapes and sizes were filled with flowers picked from the garden for centerpieces. The "country buffet" table was amazingly beautiful. Bright summer salads, breads, and main courses were arranged amid two five feet long vintage galvanized tray centerpieces filled with white tissue and fresh lemons, keeping with the yellow & white theme. Our menu as follows: Salade Nicoise, from Julia Child's Cook Book, Tomato, Mozzarella, & Basil Salad, Fruit Salad & Marshmallow Dip, Teriyaki Beef Strips, Teriyaki Chicken Wings, Grilled Lemon Chicken, Grilled Corn picked fresh from the garden, and the most amazing Cheesy Garlic Bread. I've included this simple and delicious recipe, with permission of our dear friend Lynn Guier: 1 loaf of sourdough bread, cut bread in half horizontally, 1 stick of butter, heated on low, then let butter cool slightly Add 8 garlic cloves, minced or chopped, add 1/2 cup Le Gout instant cheddar cheese, or a little more for your liking. Spoon the garlic cheese mixture onto both sides of bread and broil for 3 minutes, Slice crosswise and serve warm, it's fabulous! As our tired and happy guests left through the rose covered arbor, they filled old-timey take-out boxes with colorful gumballs, lemon drops and taffy to take home as a reminder of the day. Enthusiastic family and friends prepared all the food, out of sheer love and a desire for a creative hand in the festivities. From the beginning, my mother , father and I, worked together to transform the family home and grounds into a beautiful setting for a summer wedding in the name of love, and the day resulted in a class act.
