Whidbey Pies It was my childhood ambition to grow up to be a trapeze artist. Life, however, had other plans and I have been a professional pie maker since 1986. Instead of thrilling audiences with flights of fancy, I have been thrilled to make people happy. Pie does that. I opened the Whidbey Pies Café in March of 2001. Before there was a kitchen I schlepped soup and pies down the hill from my cottage commercial kitchen in the back of a Toyota pickup. Whidbey Pies Café and Catering now employs approximately 20-25 people. The pie, café and catering crews are true professionals taking great pride in offering the best pie in the Northwest and deliciously prepared Greenbank Farm produce in the café and for catered events. Being a trapeze artist and a pie maker are not so different. Both require a certain degree of foolhardiness and a great back up crew holding the net.

Artisan Clay | Painting Crafted interiors of natural earth plaster & fine painted surfaces If you are looking for a unique ambiance for your home or office, walls finished in natural earth plaster are a wonderful solution. Whether your choice is a clay or lime plaster, the result will be a beautifully tactile, softly-textured surface that does not support mold or bacterial growth and is free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Both plasters are available in many colors. Painted surfaces of high-quality, low-odor VOC-free paints naturally complement plaster walls. With degrees in both interior design and architecture, Gail can help with your choices of all finishes. She has been plastering and painting Island homes and businesses for many years and is a trained ‘artisan applicator’ for American Clay. For a free estimate or to discuss a painting or plastering project, call or email Gail at:
