At this summer’s Solano Stroll, I took note of a few vendors that were selling things I’d like to have for myself. I figured our readers might be equally interested, and ideally, their partners might read this and think it’s super convenient that we’re helping them shop.
Sora Designs – Vintage jewelery items have been refreshed for modern wearing. I am personally enamored with the brightly colored pieces. For women who shop at Anthropologie, she’s got beaucoup selection that will suit your taste. Sora Designs is an etsy seller whose work is also found in museum shops and at craft fairs.
Aren’t those bobby pins lovely?
Bubbles and Boo – These handsewn accessories for your kid-friendly home are bright and sweet. The fabric and/or burlap baskets are intended to hold toys, knitting supplies, or anything else you need wrangled. (I could imagine them holding diapering supplies if you want to set up a secondary changing station in your bedroom.) Also on Etsy, this designer is from Oakland.
Cara Lyndon designs – Another vintage recrafter, this Oakland-based online store has an eclectic collection. If you’d like to wear your initial — or your child’s — around your neck, she’s got a cute 1950s ID necklace, available in every letter.
I also love this delicate triple locket necklace.
Stay tuned for more holiday shopping tips next month!
