This is the info card that was included with this package. It details the items included this month, plus gives a bit of the back story on the businesses that provided them. This month's theme is "PNW Flavors Box - Seattle Style!"
Belltown Gus Print - Value $5?
Cassie Graus is a Seattle artist who mainly draws cats, but she took it upon herself to come up with a series of neighborhood mascots for the Seattle Area. This is Belltown Gus. I love the idea, but all her mascots are a little disturbing! Is it just me? Anyway, I did find this print online, but in a larger size, so I am estimating the value.
Smoky BBQ Rub - Value $6.50
I can't believe it's almost grilling season already! But have you ever heard of Seattle barbecue? I tend to think of Memphis, Louisville, Texas, North Carolina... This will be interesting!
Skillet Original Bacon Spread - Value $6?
Bacon Jam? Yes please! My mouth is seriously watering just thinking about what to write about this. I think it was originally formulated to top the burgers at Skillet's restaurant, but they also suggest trying it on french toast. I couldn't find this size on their website, so this is an estimate based on other sizes.
Cookie Cutter by ENGRIt4U - Value $3?
I wish they had included cookies instead of a cookie cutter. I'm no good at baking! Fortunately, they included a recipe for sugar cookies also. The cookie cutter is supposed to make cookies from Dick's restaurant, so I guess that must be a Seattle thing?
This month's package was also supposed to include a tee from Marination Station, but I got this note saying that my size is on backorder. They didn't want to hold up my box, so they will send it along in a week or two.
Instead they sent me...
Townie Shades - Value $24.99
This color scheme is exclusive to Rain City subscribers! How awesome! The lenses are actually highly reflective, so I had to black them out a bit in the first picture because they reflected everything in my house. I love the Seattle skyline on the sides! So fun!
Verdict: Another great box from Rain City! I think they are doing a great job showing off the artists, artisans and small businesses of the PNW. The value of the items in this box totals about $45, which is good for a $35 box, and of course the value will be much better when I get my shirt in the next few weeks. I can't wait to see what's coming next month!
