Good neighbor Garden State moves north

Posted on September 7, 2010 by tildeshop

We reluctantly bid adieu to our good neighbor Garden State as owner Kevin Sandri closed up his cart this past Saturday and downsizes to his NE Mississippi cart location. Garden State opened a few years ago in Sellwood to immediate critical acclaim – he was in Bon Appetit magazine within six months of starting his biz!

Garden State first opened on the corner of our block, but then Kevin relocated his cart into the parking lot adjacent to Tilde this last January. We’ve enjoyed the delectables Kevin always seems to offer up to those of us with appetites for the delicious. He continues to gather honors: getting special mention in Sunset magazine, gaining runner-up status for best food cart in the (entire!) US on Good Morning America last year, and winning the big prize of glory at the Eat Mobile Food Cart Festival just a few months ago.

What will we do without our weekly fix of our favorite Chickpea Sandwich?! Our day off now definitely requires a visit to the Garden State cart across town. We totally understand Kevin’s need to make his life more livable, but will miss his company and amazing food.

We wish Kevin and Garden State all the best – and hope he comes back to visit us in Sellwood. If he doesn’t, you can bet we’ll be dining at his NE ‘hood cart on our day off!

September First Friday Artist: Lisa Kaser

Posted on September 2, 2010 by tildeshop

We always get a bit giddy with delight as we assist the featured First Friday artist in hanging a new show on the walls of Tilde. It’s the first time we get to see the range of work the artist is bringing into our shop for the month.

This month, Lisa Kaser will be showing a selection of her mixed media originals, plus we’ll have a big variety of her giclée prints, cards, and original sketches available for you to purchase so you can hang her art on your walls, too.

Lisa received her BFA in Fibers from the University of Oregon under the tutelage of Barbara Setsu-Pickett. For the past 25 years she has exhibited her work in national and international venues. In 2008 Lisa was the only American fiction illustrator selected to participate in the Illustrator’s Exhibit in Bologna, Italy and subsequently received her first children’s book project, The Three Little Pigs, which was published this year in Seoul, Korea. In 2009 she was invited to submit work for the 200 Best Illustrators Worldwide, by the Austrian publication, Lürzer’s Archive.

Tilde is thrilled to showcase Lisa’s work this month. Please join us for Lisa Kaser’s artist reception on Friday, September 3rd from 6-9pm in the store. See you then!
