Artist Profile – Feather and Branch

I love anything vintage. From old books with worn edges to whimsical clothing that have a story of their own. I enjoy browsing antique and second hand shops for something no one else has, and wearing it with pride, knowing it’s unique and special.I also love to create. It would make me so happy knowing you purchased one of my creations and it brings a smile to your face each day you wear it.My shop is filling up with feminine accessories (and things). Whether you purchase a dainty ring or a whimsical necklace, I want you to feel special and different. All of my items are lovingly and thoughtfully made, so each purchase arrives at your door ready to be given as a gift to yourself or someone you love.I know how hard it is to find something that is unique but also affordable, without sacrificing quality, so I’ve made sure that you can find both in my shop.

Artist Profile – Heathered

Heathered makes eco-friendly wallets for the fashionable adventurer.

Hi there, I’m Heather of Heathered- traveler, musician, and tragically seasick ocean-lover. Everything is handmade in my San Francisco studio from vintage materials that would otherwise end up in landfills- 1930s-40s SF Call Bulletin newspapers, maps, sent postcards, outdated airline manuals, cookbooks, MUNI Fast Passes and scraps of fabric.

Among all the travel-related slim wallets and passport holders, you can find the music-related hand-stitched guitar amp wallets and ocean-related Narwhallets (wallets with narwhals on them).

Artist Profile – Even Howard

My art crafts reflect my travels in dreams and reality and I hope to share some adventures with you. Ocean tides, snowy peaks, and lanes of sakura trees in spring inspire my work.

I’m currently living in the woods near the Pacific Ocean in San Francisco and my works reflect these natural surroundings and visions from journeys in the pacific ring of fire.

Artist Profile – note•ify

I like animals, all kinds.  I like farms too.  I am a photographer, so it’s no surprise that I have a lot of photos of animals and farms.  I started making my photos into graphics and turning them into cards as gifts for the people in my life who also like animals and farms.  One day I decided to try and sell them.  Now here I am – selling note cards, gift tags and other paper products out of the photographs I take of animals, farms, nature, and all that’s around me.  I call it farm chic and eco-friendly, you can call it, note•ify.

And really, who knew so many people loved pigs?
