Buy Local, Buy Handmade

Support Local and Independent Buy Local, Buy Handmade

Of course, as a small independent business we feel compelled to encourage you to support other local, independent, handmade businesses! You'll get a unique gift to give, keep money in your community, and enable people who do exceptional work to keep doing what they do best -- creating things.

Here's a list of small, artisan, and/or local businesses we love and will be supporting this holiday season:

    * Maria Schoettler makes our favorite 2012 calendars!
    * Homeroom, because nothing says "I love you" like mac 'n' cheese
    * Leafcutter Designs for whimsical, one-of-a-kind stocking stuffers
    * Rancho Gordo Beans has black-eyed peas for a Southern New Year's feast
    * Starter Bakery's Kouign Amann + Christmas morning = perfection
    * Fox & Moon Tea brings our tea-loving hearts to song
    * Oaktown Spice Shop for baking and gift-giving alike
    * Happy Girl Kitchen fills all your pickle cravings
    * Heath Ceramics for special ceramic kitchen wares
    * Katz & Company's vinegars are truly swoon-worthy
    * Boccalone makes some of our favorite charcuterie, yum!

Lovely Bay Area bookstores we think you should support: Laurel Bookstore, Pegasus Books, Booksmith, Omnivore Books, Moe's Books

Have fun, and happy holidays!
