Teaching Them To Work You may be tired of hearing about what we do to teach our kids about responsibility and how to work. But I will probably never get tired of telling you. More importantly I know I will never get tired of telling you about our fantastic children. Yesterday I had the boys pull weeds at our store in Airway Heights. They didn't really care for that but they understood the importance. Today it was all about taking care of the critterz we have either adopted or pur... Read More
My Take On Life: A Branding Story I have spent the last week on and off taking my wife to the next level of branding. I don't mean that I stuck her with a hot iron.......although...... Naw just kidding. What I have been working on is coaching her into how to use Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and different tools in her own website to create a single uniform thread of recognition. She has always been great at what she does. Thin... Read More
Jaden's Journey: Java Hut Espresso As you can imagine I get a call from Mark just about every day giving me updates on what's going on with The Extreme Team so I can post stuff and junk.... Today's phone call from Mark went something like this.... "Hey Monte, I just helped Dave from Uccello's coffee bag 170 bags of coffee" On any other day I would have just thought....."well, Mark got another job doing something with coffee" ... Read More

"What is The Extreme Team" by Mark Peterson The question comes up all the time.... "What is the Extreme Team?" The Extreme Team is a group of individuals that work on projects, or dreams that the people cannot do for themselves because of financial or physical reasons. The Extreme Team started as a question The Extreme Makeover Home edition was in Sandpoint many years ago and I asked Todd ,t... Read More
Jaden's journey: The Kitchen Place There we were today..... Just Mark and I going over the details of the project. I asked him who should I blog about today? He didn't even hesitate....."Erin at The Kitchen Place" he almost shouted. Then Mark told me a story.... About Erin You see, Erin first told Mark that The Kitchen Place would like to lend a hand....you know....help a little. They set an... Read More
Gizmo Fabrication by Spokane Grapevine Gizmo Fabrication This guy walks into our shop the other day and says "Hi I'm Thomas and I make metal art". Ok....I'll have to admit that we get a lot of people walking off the street or cold calling us wanting to be a vendor at GardenStone. This guy had two things going for him right out of the chute. 1. He named his business after his dog and 2. He makes some really cool stuff at a reasonable price. The pi... Read More
Jay Daniels Jay Daniels So, this morning I decided to change gears a little bit. Instead of focusing on the things I have done with the Jay and Kevin Show, I thought I would introduce you to the two great men who comprise the show. Since Jay is technically first billing I logically started with him. Jay is the guy who runs (for lack of a better term) The Jay and Kevin Show. He stands behind the computer and makes all the bells and whistles go off right when t... Read More
The Jay and Kevin Show ( Part 1 ) by Spokane Grapevine I have been with the Jay and Kevin showfor the better part of 15 years. This is a prequel of the series of posts I will be posting about these two fantastic men in the Spokane radio market. I only say that because I know they will be reading this (well Jay might) and I don't want them to hit me on Friday. Awwww.....Just joking. They really are two of the coolest kids on the block and there is so much about them I feel the Spoka... Read More
The Clothing Perk by Spokane Grapevine Awesome....completely Awesome.....Amy is Awesome...did I mention that she's awesome?. Have you ever just walked in somewhere and felt you had to become a part of it. Set aside the fact that I love kids. Set aside the fact that Amy is a really nice person. Set aside that I love reviewing "People" and step into the realm of charity for children. Step into The Clothing Perk! I spent a week driving around with three huge totes full of... Read More
Celeste Shaw by Spokane Grapevine Having this blog and having followers, gives us the unique opportunity to share with others what we have found. So. We have found something. We found a bright light, a bastion of tranquility, an unsung hero. Celeste Shaw is the epitome of living life with grace. If you look up the phrase "Do unto others" there would be a picture of Celeste by the caption. In the short time we have known her she has managed to weave her way into our hea... Read More
The Vintage Rabbit by Spokane Grapevine Howdie. Welcome to the first blog post of the new year. What a fitting way to bring in the New Year with a post about an Antique Store. Not just any Antique Store mind you, but The Vintage Rabbit. Kelly and I were killin' a little time before the festivities down town for First Night and decided to take a slight detour down Monroe street just north of Indiana. I guess you could call it up Monroe from that point but I di... Read More
Dolly's Cafe' by Spokane Grapevine Every once in awhile you run across a place so quaint that you feel almost compelled to share.....Wait a minute, did I say quaint? Yep I believe I did. New sentence coming down in three....two.....one. Every now and again you find a joint so cool you have to give a shout out to your buddies.....OK that was better. Dolly's Cafe is just such a place. We (me and my boys) went to this cool greasy spoon recently on a Saturday morning. Now I'll... Read More
A Short Walk in the Past by Spokane Grapevine This is just a small blog post about a short strip of small businesses located on the 300 block of west 2nd in downtown Spokane. This is a one block grouping of small businesses that have moved into, and revitalized that block into a wonderful afternoon experience. If there was such a thing as a strp mall in the 1930's this would have been it. The list of businesses includes, Eclectic Gifts, Serendipity bou... Read More
Tiny Belles Boutique by Spokane Grapevine So, it occurred to me today that I haven't done a blog post for one of my most favorite people on the planet......Emily Lovell-Piper the owner and tu-tu maker of Tiny Belles Boutique. Where does one start with Emily.....hmmmm.....lemmie think about that for a minute. How about this? She is a stay at home mom, an Etsy-ian, an amateur photographer, a wanna-be chef, a friend, an entrepreneur and....lets just say an all aroun... Read More

aNeMonE by Spokane Grapevine Hmmmmm.....have you ever thought of starting a business with just a pile of paper? Well Nate and Mary Eberle did, and what a business they have become! Ok...So I am a guy and really, flowers aren't my thing. I do rocks for pete's sake, but I must say as a fellow artist (yes there is an art to rock placing) that what they do with paper is actually quite amazing. aNeMonEhas taken the art of flower making to a whole new level. The amount of... Read More
