Two new tenants for Revive properties Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com Oak Forest resident Lauri Stufflebeme worked 30 years in learning & development at the Bechtel Corporation before she decided to make a big change. She recently signed a lease for the final 1,250 square foot space in Revive’s Ella Oaks Phase I center to open skoah, a facials only concept with a proprietary skin and hair care product line. The business will be between Brush & Bobby and Local Poke. “Bechtel is moving the corporate headquarters to Reston, Virginia, but I love living here,” Stufflebeme said. “It was the impetus to do something different. I’m a product junkie and always enjoyed getting treatments. I’m surprised how many people haven’t had facials.” After doing some research and learning that Canadabased skoah was named one of the top 100 emerging franchises, Stufflebeme decided to take the plunge in the U.S. Houston will be the third U.S. location after Boston and Seattle. “I went to one of the Discovery Days for franchise owners and was really impressed,” Stufflebeme said. “It’s not intimidating or pretentious. We just do facials and it’s customized to the client. We call it a ‘skin gym.’ It’s personal fitness for your skin.” The ease of setting up the business was also a draw. “It’s not a business in a box but they make it very easy,” said Stufflebeme, who noted that she’ll start out with about eight to 10 employees. As for the choice of Ella Oaks, Stufflebeme said that the sense of community was a draw. “There’s a sense that we’re in it together,” Stufflebeme said. “It was a gut feeling. I also liked that there were other women-owned businesses
in the center. Customers can get on the list for a free facial once skoah opens. Those who sign up will also be kept informed of pre-openings specials and other announcements. Visit www.skoah.com/Houston and follow them on Facebook and Insta @Skoah Oakforest. That’s not the only tenant news for Revive. Oak Forest’s Koryn Wright and her mother, Janet Thuot, have signed a lease for Revive’s Stomping Grounds across the street from the Harriet and Joe Foster Family YMCA. Threadfare, which already sells clothing online, will sell unique children’s apparel for newborn girls through age 14 and baby boys through age 8 in their brick and mortar store. Wright and her mother used to own The Pinkies Up Spot in Memorial City where they sold children’s clothing and also put on birthday parSee Revive P. 3B

’Tis the season…for holiday markets land Market was started by the Love Elementary PTO in 2017 as a way to spread the cheer of the season and to continue to build ties to the neighborhood community. “Love is a dual-language HISD school in the heart of the Heights, but many families inside the zone aren’t familiar with this gem of a school,” PTO president Diana Vining said. “The PTO works to bring in a variety of local vendors for the market and will be selling beautiful, fresh poinsettias as a fundraiser at the event.” In addition to the shopping you can see Love’s choir perform and also get a visit into Santa.

By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com Without further ado, here’s a rundown of places for you to score the perfect Christmas gift for a loved one – or for yourself! Holiday Artisan Market benefiting Animal Justice League Saturday, Nov. 24, 9 a.m.4 p.m. at St. Stephen’s United Methodist Church of Houston. This is the perfect way to celebrate Small Business Saturday. More than 50 local artists and vendors with St. Stephen’s will be offering a blessing of the animals at their booth and they’ll also have the Kilted DJs with their “fun bus” - plus Vietnamese street food with Summer Rain Food Truck. https://www.facebook.com/ events/209539423057096/. “We do our best to focus primarily on artists, vendors and small businesses with homemade and/or handmade products,” organizer Kim Antley said. “And many are local to our neighborhoods and The Leader’s readership area.” First Saturday Arts Market Saturday, Dec. 1, 11 a.m.-6 p.m. at 530 W. 19th St.

While the Greater Houston market showed yearover-year increases in both sales numbers and home prices according to the latest report from the Houston Association of Realtors, the local markets showed near uniformity in sales trends and mixed results when evaluating closing prices last month. “With August and September home sales figures skewed by the effects of Hurricane Harvey, October seemed to mark a return to normalcy in terms of overall market activity,” said HAR chair Kenya BurrellVanWormer with JPMorgan Chase. “However, we are prepared for slower sales as we wrap up 2018, between the tight supply of homes and the fact that we typically see less activity around the holidays.” For the lion’s share of the Garden Oaks/Oak Forest and Heights-area neighborhoods, home sales shot up this past October, while average price increased nearly uniformly and median pricing experienced a sharp dip in nearly all neighborhoods. 77018 For Garden Oaks and Oak Forest buyers and their neighbors, it was quite the bustling month. Fifty-four homes flew off the market last month, after just 40 were sold during the same month in 2017 following Harvey. The 35 percent uptick represented the local area’s largest increase of sales. To date in 2018, 569 sales have closed in the area compared to 489 through the same period in 2017 –
an increase of slightly more than 16 percent. This area was the only one to experience a dip in both means of evaluating market pricing movement. Median pricing on homes here dropped 3.3 percent down to $395,000 at month’s end, while average price on a home in these areas dipped slightly to $476,105 – a 2.9 percent drop-off. 77092 The western edge of the Garden Oaks/Oak Forest neighborhoods and those just west of Highway 290 experienced a 31.8 percent drop-off in home sales last month compared to October 2017 – only 15 sales were finalized, compared to 22 the year before. Year-to-date, the area is only marginally behind last year’s pace, with 199 sold thus far in 2018 compared to 203 through the same time frame in 2017. Pricing trends showcased mixed results here, with average price jumping 6.6 percent to $296,033 by month’s end, and median home prices dipping down 5.1 percent to $268,000. 77008 In the greater Heights section of The Leader’s coverage area, there was a slight uptick in sales, with 80 homes closing compared to 72 the previous October. Year-to-date, the Heights has seen a rising trend in sales, with 860 properties sold thus far, compared to 829 through the same point last year. Average home prices were also fairly steady in the area, with a slight rise to $527,949. Meanwhile, median pricing trends showed See Market P. 3B

Market, from P. 1B a decline, dipping 3.8 percent to $463,852 at the end of October. 77009 Neighborhoods on the eastern side of the Heights – such as Sunset Heights and Woodland Heights – experienced a sharp rise with regards to sales last month. Forty-three were sold after 33 were sold last October; and the 30.3 percent rise was the second-largest among local neighborhoods. Through the end of October, there has been an 11 percent uptick in sales, with 466 sold thus far in 2018. On the pricing front, this area simultaneously experienced the sharpest rise on average price and lowest dip in median price. Average price rose 12.9 percent to $512,623, while median price dropped to $387,900. 77007 In the southernmost swath of the
Heights (and The Leader’s coverage area) and Washington Avenue, there was a 13.2 percent rise in sales, with 60 homes flying off the market compared to 53 last October. Year-to-date, the area is mostly in line with last year’s pace, selling 595 homes thus far compared to 592 through the same point in 2017. Median prices here rose 4.4 percent (to $459,459), while average home price remained relatively compared to last October, dipping 0.4 percent down to $526,867.

ties. The birthday parties were Janet Thuot’s specialty, but since she’s retired from that aspect of the business, and since Wright lived in Oak Forest, they closed the Memorial location to open at Stomping Grounds. A former buyer for Foley’s, Wright has experience in the field although she’s not buying for 75 stores anymore, but just one. Wright and Thuot visit the markets in Dallas and Atlanta to look for new merchandise. Both U.S. and International brands will be carried at Threadfare, including Mustard Pie, Giggle Moon, Serendipity, Rylee + Cru, Haute Baby, Frilly Frocks, SheBloom, Runaway Pony, Pink Chicken, Blu Pony Vintage, Jak & Peppar, Lali Kids, Little Miss Marmalade, Mimi & Maggie, Egg by Susan Lazar, Velveteen and
more. “We’re really about trying to find unique offerings,” Wright said. “We won’t carry the standard brands or even clothing that’s available online. One season to next we won’t necessarily carry the same things.” Prices will range from $20 to $100 for more special occasion attire. Wright says that in Texas, parents seem to prefer something more traditional with a little more embellishment for their children’s clothes. Monogramming will be available through a partnership they have with a local business. Wright and Thuot will start their build out in late January and hope to be open by Easter.

For The Leader
If you’ve ever bought or sold a home, you know just how important it is to have a knowledgeable realtor on your side. But with 2018 producing monumental regulatory changes set to affect Houston real estate for years to come, selecting an educated and informed realtor seems more critical now than ever. A longtime Houstonian with years of experience as a full-time realtor with Boulevard Realty, Jan Clark prides herself on staying on top of all these changes. “From revisions to the City of Houston Floodplain Ordinance passing in April to the Design Guidelines for the Houston Heights Historic Districts going into full effect earlier this month, Houston real estate looks a lot different today than it did at the start of 2018,” Clark said. “It’s up to us as realtors to be here for homebuyers, sellers, and investors, educating them on what all has changed and how these changes will affect them moving forward.” Clark brings the unique advantages of a legal background to the table as well, having received a law degree from the University of Houston and practiced both privately and as an attorney for the City of Houston. The extensive contract and negotiation experience she gained as a former lawyer is a major asset to her clients, and this background also goes a long way in helping her break down the complex Design Guidelines and the Chapter 19 (the City of Houston Floodplain Ordinance) changes for her clients. “Maybe it’s because I was used to pouring over lengthy and dense documents as a lawyer, but I actually enjoy digging into the Design Guidelines and the Chapter 19 changes,” she said. “I know topics like these can be confusing and a lot to take in, so I want to make sense of it all for my clients.” A proud Houstonian who has lived in

what she identifies as the “Central North” area of Houston for a number of years now, Clark knew to be successful as a realtor in that part of town—which includes the likes of the Greater Heights, Lazybrook, Timbergrove, Oak Forest, and Garden Oaks—she needed to match her distinctive skill set with a real estate firm that had a firm presence there. That’s how she selected Boulevard Realty, the boutique firm that’s the only one she’s ever been with. Clark quickly realized that Boulevard is much more than just the top listing firm in the Heights. She asserts that it’s the most resourceful firm in Houston. “Phenomenal training, community involvement, a full suite of design-build services, a full-service marketing team—I’m able to put all that to use for my clients every single day,” she said. “Then there’s the unparalleled wealth of knowledge our broker Bill Baldwin offers us, not only as an incredible realtor, but as a City of Houston Planning Commissioner, Houston Heights Association President, and member of countless other public-private strategic planning committees.” Going into 2019, Clark is confident that Boulevard’s resources, her past legal experience, and many years of proven results for her real estate clients have her positioned perfectly to help those preparing to buy or sell a home in the wake of 2018’s changes. “A realtor’s knowledge builds upon their foundation, so it’s crucial to work with an agent with the experience and resources that will allow them to guide you, not only today, but through new changes,” Clark said. “With my years of experience and the backing of Boulevard Realty, I’m excited and ready to lead my clients through this new set of changes and those on the horizon in this constantly changing world of real estate.”

HHA celebrates season of festivity with home tour For The Leader
919 Oxford Street While this Queen Anne Victorian Cottage owned by Sharon and Britt Dearman underwent significant renovations, the placement and size of the front and back wooden porches, windows and doors all match the original home. The Dearmans categorize their style as “eclectic transitional” and chose a mix of old and new and neutrals and brights when styling their home. 747 Beverly Street Despite being the newest home on the tour, this home owned by Marie Louise Crozat and David Honeycutt built in 2005 has historical themes running throughout. A lifelong interest in preservation inspired the addition of two early 1900s stained glass art panels originally from a Byzantine Catholic Church and front door obtained by Adkins Architec-
tural Antiques in Houston. 505 E. 23rd Street When this home owned by Ken Yancey and Roberto Aramyo was built in 1997, it was the first new construction north of 20th Street. The Farmhouse Craftsman-style home features an extensive

Art Valet: Crawl Your Way Back Mitch Cohen Art Columnist
Happy Thanksgiving! No time like the present to continue with the wild art tour through Houston. Both events are next weekend. Archway Gallery will present “The Drift of Stars,” featuring recent paintings and works in fused glass by Liz Conces Spencer on Dec. 1– Jan. 3. The artist will visit with guests at the opening reception on Saturday, Dec. 1 from 5–8 p.m. and will discuss her work in a talk at 6:30 p.m. She will be joined by poet Diana Conces, who will read from selected works which have been paired to pieces in the exhibition. Spencer’s new body of work, The Drift of Stars, explores her visual thoughts on the passage and mystery of time. Spencer’s landscape, figurative, and non-representational studies are often reworked extensively, creating new realities far removed from the moment of inception. The
figurative works frequently superimpose human forms from several different sessions and models. Landscapes are abstracted to abide by a generous dollop of creative intuition in color placement and patterning. Some works are deceptively simple. The blending of timelines, subjects and materials is intentional, with threads of meaning suggested in titles that focus attention on our shared mortality, our memories of the past and our hopeful-yet-flawed expectation of the future. Liz Conces Spencer joined Archway Gallery in 2005 and has offered two one-person shows since that time. She has shown in a three-person show with Vorakit Chinooksowong and Dr. Ron Outen. Her past three featured shows have been partnerships with her frequent collaborator Gene Hester. Spencer is a teaching artist with Young Audiences of Houston, and with Kevin Cromwell she manages the figure drawing sessions at Archway every Sunday morning. Reception is Saturday, Dec. 1 from 5 – 8 p.m. Artist talk and poetry reading at 6:30 p.m. Archway Gallery, 2305 Dunlavy, 77006. Complimentary valet parking and light

refreshments. This past summer I told you about the Clay Houston Pop-Up that took place in the Heights. It was an impressive group of clay artists and I’m happy to tell you that they are back with a vengeance Sunday, Dec. 2. “Our annual studio crawl, the Bayou City Clay Crawl, is scheduled for Dec. 2 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.,” said Clara Hoag, the board fundraising chair of ClayHouston. “Thirty ceramic artists are opening their studios (10 studios total) to the public. Visitors get to see where and how our member
artists work, and see in-progress pieces, purchase finished work and can meet the artists.” Looking at the Bayou City Clay Crawl flyer, I unknowingly picked Hoag’s as my favorite. It’s a cityscape sculpted out of clay on a woman’s head and all but her ears, nose and mouth are covered by the clay. “I just finished a new series of photographs that expand on the visual language in my sculptures and drawings,” Hoag said. “That piece you like is an actual clay headpiece on a live model, photographed in my studio.” There’s something magical and familiar at the same time about visiting a working ceramic studio and here is the opportunity to see 10. The 10 studios on the crawl are all located in the Heights, Midtown and Braeswood. A full listing of studios and participating artists and print or downloadable map are at www.clayhouston.org. Cohen is an artist and founder of First Saturday Arts Market and the Market at Sawyer Yards, find him at ArtValet.com

New culinary director takes over at neighborhood dining spots Zarah Parker Managing Editor
Popular Heights-area restaurants Star Fish, Lee’s Fried Chicken & Donuts and Pi Pizza have a new culinary director in Lyle Bento. In addition to that responsibility he will specifically team up with chefs J.D. Woodward and Michael Nutt in a chef trio over Star Fish. Sambrooks Management Company (SMC) was created by David and Lisa Sambrooks and sons Michael Sambrooks and Laine Sambrooks. Their goal was to build a Houstonbased family owned restaurant group that focused on serving quality food, while fostering a culture of fun, friendliness and good service. Star Fish, Lee’s Fried Chicken & Donuts and Pi Pizza were recently acquired by SMC from
Cherry Pie Hospitality. SMC also owns The Pit Room and The Patio at The Pit Room. “We could not be more excited to have Lyle and J.D join us and team up with current Star Fish chef Michael Nutt to revamp and hone our menu offerings,” Michael Sambrooks, owner and operator of SMC, said in a news release. “Lyle and the team will initially collaborate on the Star Fish menu and our goal is nothing short of creating the finest seafood restaurant in Houston. Teaming Lyle, J.D and Michael together is a huge first step toward this goal.” Bento has a proven track record in Houston as leading and working in some of the most creative and successful kitchens. Before joining the team at SMC, Bento served as Chef de Cuisine at Underbelly, and before that he led the acclaimed Heights restaurant Southern Goods.

Woodward comes on board with SMC as executive chef for Star Fish after he oversaw the opening of Timbergrove’s La Vista 101 restaurant. Woodward has also worked closely with Bento before at Southern Goods, where he served as Chef de Cuisine. The third in the trio, Nutt, is serving as Chef de Cuisine for Star Fish. Nutt has worked with some of Houston’s best restaurant groups and as a leading chef many times over the last decade. Before joining SMC, he served as Chef de Cuisine for Laurenzo’s. “We want only the best quality on the plates,” Bento said. “The menu will be unique, exciting and delicious.”
