West Coast Craft
The West Coast Craft is the mecca of craft fairs here in San Francisco. On November 18th & 19th at Fort Mason, nothing said "style" more than the hot ankle boots from Freda Salvador's booth walking through the gate.
There were so many goodies to peruse on the last day of the Craft Fair, I had to turn on my New York pace to get to them all before the day came to a close! On "Intro" row where WCC hosted new risers in the craft movement, I came across Drifter Organics, using their balm to moisturize my hands, but what caught my eye was their catch-phrase, "Nature looks good on you." And it does. It really does.
In the last year, I had deepened my fascination with ceramics by learning to make my own, but while I have been getting pretty decent, I still look at local heavy hitters and find new ones to admire all the time. Today, I discovered trendy tumblers in rose with gold detailing at Amy Hamley Ceramics and ceramic mugs styled by the range of the color wheel at Atelier Dion.
I suddenly found my future glory... in the Rockwell Mini in Noir, a socially conscious constructed leather beauty of a purse with a gold rounded handle and bag feet, by of course, Future Glory.
Brooklyn-based The Spinx and the Priestess was also in the house, with their manifest destiny candles based on the Tarot; the mystic shopping trend continues. Inside their soy-based scented candles, are energy charged crystals to help you make your call to the universe. My pick is "The Lovers"; I could use a little more love in my life.
