Puppies!

Submitted By: Natasharae612@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I have a darling litter of sweet pitbull blended puppies almost ready for their loving forever homes. There are two little males, both white. There is one light brown female – looks like her daddy.
This was an “oops” litter but no matter, these puppies deserve loving indoor homes. The parents have both been incredibly loving family members who’ve brought immense joy into our lives and I have no doubts their puppies will bring joy to their prospective families.

We are only considering homes that keep their dogs indoors.
We want to be sure their new family understands the energy level of pitbull blended dogs and are capable of providing proper training, activity, and adequate exercise for the remainder of their lives. In turn, these pups are sure to bring lots of joy, laughter and tons of love.

There will be an adoption fee — in hopes to spay their daddy to avoid this from repeating. Am considering having the fee sent directly to the vet on account for this specific need. Can discuss.

We are happy to send photos and answer questions or set up a meet and greet!

We are set on finding perfect homes, so we are not doing “first come first serve”.. and we are willing to take the puppies back however the adoption fee cannot be refunded.

Please TEXT ONLY to 503.812.4260 or email natasharae612@gmail.com.

Q&A: Song Bath and upcoming dates

Submitted By: northcoastoregonthresholdchoir@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Threshold Choir Song Bath Q&A

Q: What is a Song Bath?
A: The Threshold Choir creates a sacred/quiet space for anyone to sit, relax, and receive healing vibration through singing to their body, mind and spirit. In general it calms your nervous system and like prayer, we can direct our love and kindness toward a specific place if requested.

Q: Do I need to share or speak at all?
A: No

Q: Can I sing along with the choir?
A: During Song Bath, we ask visitors to remain quiet. You are invited to stay after Song Bath to inquire more about becoming a choir member.

Q: Do I have to sit in the central gravity chair?
A: No. If you are more comfortable sitting in the choir circle or in a pew in the back, you are welcome to do so.

Q: Can I show up without RSVP?
A: Yes. Although we do like to have an idea ahead of time about how many people are planning to receive a song bath.

Q: Can I arrive late?
A: Yes. And we ask folks to enter and exit quietly.

Need TLC? You are invited to receive a Song Bath
(or simply sit in silence and hold space)

Stories from North Coast Pinball

Submitted By: will@irace.net – Click to email about this post
My Dear Friends,

I have written a book. It’s called Can You Feel It? Stories from North Coast Pinball.

In late April of 2021, Heather and I were laboring to transform Hal’s Emporium in Nehalem into [North Coast Pinball and North Coast Mudworks. We had just pulled up the old carpet, and we had yet to paint, and the place looked and smelled like the construction site that it was. It didn’t make sense to have any pinball machines in there at that point, but I had moved a couple in because I couldn’t wait.

As I walked through the place imagining what it would become, an unfamiliar song started playing on our portable speaker. I turned it all the way up because it sounded interesting. Slowly, gradually, the song rose like a wave approaching the sand, then crashed over me in slow motion.

It was “Dayvan Cowboy” by Boards of Canada, and that is when I felt it for the first time.

After the song ended, I stopped to take a breath. Then I printed a sign from four sheets of paper and taped the pages to the wall to remind myself of what I was working towards.

CAN

YOU

FEEL

IT?

We’ve been in business for five years, and I still feel it. It feels pretty good. And now I have written a book about it–about what it’s like here.

And the book is finished! It’s on my coffee table right now for you to browse through. It’s also available today on Amazon, and I’ll have more copies in the shop after a couple of weeks.

I really hope you like my book. Thanks for being part of my life. ♡

Help keep Tara our Library at Manzanita Branch

Submitted By: katja@teleport.com – Click to email about this post
Tara Shepersky, an extraordinary library at the North County (Manzanita) Branch of the Tillamook County Library is slated to be transferred to the Main Library.
Many of us feel known and seen by Tara — her recommendations are spot on. Her technical help for our aging population from the pre electronic age is phenominal, between visits from the official tach whiz.
So many of us are writers, and we especially appreciate her poetic sensibility.
I acknowledge that her gifts would be of benefit anywhere, but she *knows* us. This small community doesn’t want to lose the rapport we have built to the Big City of Tillamook. (smile).
Here are the contacts I have:
Donald Allgeier, Library Director Tillamook County
503-842-4792 ext. 1707
Donald.allgeier@tillamookcounty.gov

Jennifer Wells Branches & Outreach Manager

Let them know. Let’s try and keep Tara!

Sincerely,
KATJA BIESANZ

Modern Stitches Quilt Show July 1 – 30 at NCRD

Submitted By: jlindley2027@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Meet the Maker Thursday July 9, 4 pm – 6 pm

Auditioning colors, arranging visual elements, discerning patterns, finally something resonates. The process becomes a meditation. In this fraught time, making and quilting offer a kind of reverie.

You’re invited to see a group of my modern quilts on display July 1 – 30, 2026 at NCRD in the Gallery and Fireside Room. Come by to Meet the Maker Thursday July 9 from 4 pm – 6 pm.

The textile industry is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions. Quilting is not exempt from this cycle of production and consumption. In response, I am shifting my practice toward the use of reclaimed materials—fabrics cut from discarded garments sourced through family, friends, and thrift stores. Several of the quilts shown incorporate recycled men’s shirts, neckties, bed sheets and fabrics thrifted from resale shops. While this is a small gesture, it is part of the movement that’s reimagining waste as resource.

Several quilts are for sale. Proceeds benefit NCRD and the Nehalem Bay Community Services Food Pantry.
