noticed the fixation in the bay area of making art by using a laser cutter? It
seems that Molly M. Designs is surely making a successful go at this in her
jewelry line. Molly McGrath combines the handcrafted and high tech production
process of a laser cutter to create organic and intricate baubles for your ears
or neckline. Through her work, you can see her architectural training before
laser cut inspired her. When she realized this tool could make such unique
jewelry, she began designing and producing right here in San Francisco in 2007.
She first sketches her designs, then drafts that onto a computer and prints on,
you guessed it,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a laser cutter.
Her line ranges from geometric shapes and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>silhouettes of blooms to birds “taking off.” They encompass subtle
colors of creamy tans and rich charcoals, to vivid pinks, mustard yellows, and
lavender purples. Although these items are handcrafted and produced right
across the bridge, her prices are very reasonable. She does warn about “bear
hugs” because her pieces can be fragile, but if you want to take part in this
laser cut rage in a very feminine and fun fashion, come have a look see at
Molly’s line. We just got some new items in. I know I can’t stop myself from
trying her pieces on from time to time…</span></b></div>Maison d'Etrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08634456222708691093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754899128580604214.post-31745965845716879492012-04-09T13:04:00.002-07:002012-04-09T13:05:44.012-07:00LaseLab<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-663ONTWKb4w/T4NA3MbAebI/AAAAAAAAAQg/PUJFodyV7r8/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2012-04-09%2Bat%2B1.01.09%2BPM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 236px; height: 255px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-663ONTWKb4w/T4NA3MbAebI/AAAAAAAAAQg/PUJFodyV7r8/s400/Screen%2BShot%2B2012-04-09%2Bat%2B1.01.09%2BPM.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729494467916888498" border="0" /></a><br /> <style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Cambria; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;} @font-face {font-family:"American Typewriter"; panose-1:2 9 6 4 2 0 4 2 3 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi- American Typewriter"font-family:";font-size:12.0pt;" >Don’t you just love it when someone local comes up with a product that you just can’t live without?

Whether you choose to keep a classic style with a bold graphic of Moby the whale, or add a little funk and splash of color by choosing the ever-so-popular, raspberry skeleton scarf, it will be worth it and I recommend to go ahead and indulge!

Because I reside in the city of Oakland, there isn’t much room for gardening, so I needed to improvise.

He couldn’t have that, especially in an environment that was practically based on creativity! As a result, he began mixing paint and before he knew it, Hudson Paint’s Colored Chalkboard Company was born. Hudson’s Colored Chalkboard offers 30 amazingly vibrant hues with delectable names such as sweet tangerine, grand chateau, bakery green, and deep ocean. With such an offering of the rainbow, these colors could help create an imaginative environment in an art studio, be the menu display for a café, or add a particular delight to a child’s room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>How excited do you think your children will be when you tell them they are actually allowed to write on their walls!? The creative ideas are seemingly endless and Arno Cornillion is glad to help. His hope was to have his passion for paint and color become a passion of yours, or to at least brighten a room in your home. We have stocked shelves for the time being, but seeing the potential of this product, I recommend coming for your look see before long…my intuition is telling me that the popularity of this “creativity in a can” is soon to hit the ground running. </span></p>Maison d'Etrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08634456222708691093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754899128580604214.post-73392919590258754402012-02-18T12:29:00.000-08:002012-02-18T12:33:59.197-08:00Sweep Dreams<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lQpRX5KEA_0/T0AKu1ouJNI/AAAAAAAAAPw/LwzYB7u4Qy4/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2012-02-18%2Bat%2B12.28.37%2BPM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 364px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lQpRX5KEA_0/T0AKu1ouJNI/AAAAAAAAAPw/LwzYB7u4Qy4/s400/Screen%2BShot%2B2012-02-18%2Bat%2B12.28.37%2BPM.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5710576127293924562" border="0" /></a><br /> <style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Cambria; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;} @font-face {font-family:"Lucida Handwriting"; panose-1:3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"> <style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Cambria; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;} @font-face {font-family:"Lucida Handwriting"; panose-1:3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Lucida Handwriting"">Now that the holidays are over and the pumpkins, Santa Clauses, and menorahs are tucked away for another year, it’s about time to get your spring-cleaning on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Why not have some fun with it?

That is why she chose to become part of the “adorner” world. In fact, it was this fascination that was the inspiration behind her businesses’ name, Primal Curiosities. In the past year, Heather’s hand-made line has taken off due to her darling, but cheeky hand warmers and cowl neck scarves. Did I mention they always come sprinkled with vintage buttons? I tease Heather and call her a fiber “snob,” however it is something very special and somewhat rare. She refuses to use anything but all natural fibers including some of her favorites, alpaca, merino wool and silk blends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Taking these modern adornments and adding a vintage flare of buttons seems to really be what draws people in. Both items when worn make anyone’s life cozy as well as effortless in everyday functions. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Tasks such as texting and typing are easily done while wearing the hand warmers and the cowl neck scarves instantly envelop the neckline, not having to deal with loose ends as in other scarves. I rightly advocate coming into the shop and having a look-see.

In2green blankets can help out with this! Their heavy cotton feel is exactly what caught my eye as soon as we unpacked them and placed them on our shelves. “Green” as the company says, is not just a color to them, but a representation of the what lifestyle they want to bring to homes all over the world. In2green works with sustainable materials such as using recycled knit products, making new land development unnecessary and for minimal usage of water, as well as chemicals and dyes. Their products are entirely “sweatshop free” and made only in the United States and Central America. In2green also does their part in helping younger generations fight for a cleaner planet, including the organization, Leave No Trace, truly making this company wholeheartedly “green.” Their vibrant textiles and colors also help the cause in being one of the best blankets and children beanies we’re carrying this season. Whether it’s the polka dots, zigzags, or the Moroccan designs that draw you in, or the rich colors of persimmon oranges, avocado greens, or deep chocolate browns, you are sure to fall weak for this product!

Not only do they fit the standard cup holder, they also come in radiant colors with fun names, including, “pop,” “bubble,” “pool,” “ripe,” and “fog.” Being featured in InStyle Magazine’s gift guide this holiday season proves people’s newfound love for this product. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Papyrus;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1"> </span>What's more, bkr is philanthropic.
