5th Season is a local Davis, CA company that is committed to reusing discarded clothing/fabrics and making them into highly functional and stylish bags. These "upcycled" bags "resonate the importance of reducing our consumption and waste by challenging each other to creatively look at consumer products beyond their original intended purposes."
Not only do we love 5th Season's approach, we love the creativity and craftsmanship.
Each bag is original and each bag has received Akiko's(owner/designer/sewer) attention

Haworth Handmade Now In
We're excited to have Haworth Handmade in our store. Melissa's strong but delicate wood pendents are detailed with intricate laser cut images of trees. Each one is roughly an 1.5" wide, making them just the right size to show off the tree's original pattern and image. Priced at $24 ea. We also have her smaller plain pendents and rings.$10-$12 ea.
Her felt rocks are peaceful to look at and to hold. Like the wood pendents they are each one of a kind. Melissa uses local wool for the felting too. $5 ea or 3 for $12.00 Any of these are a great gift for graduation or a birthday.
Coming soon Candle Stick holders.
Can't wait.

Keep It Local The 3/50 Project
nina and tom are now a part this awesome group of small business owners and individuals who want to spread the word about the importance of shopping at your local brick and mortar stores.
Take the pledge, spend a total of $50 a month between 3 local stores and help build your neighborhood economy.
Here are some suggestions:
Buy your cup of coffee 5 times a month from the independent coffeehouse, not Starbucks.
$5.00-$22.50
Buy your new broom or mop at your local/independent hardware store.
$9.00-$20.00
Buy one children's book/novel/cookbook/cd or magazine from your local/independent bookstore or music store and not Amazon.
$3.95-$34.95
Buy that special gift for a birthday, baby shower, wedding or anniversary by going to your local boutique and find something original and unique that can't be found at Target.
$20-$100.
Buy some ice cream or frozen yogurt 2 times a month at your local creamery or yogurt shop.
$3.50-$10.00
$50.00 adds up quick and you're done (but by all means keep spending if you can).
It just takes a little effort to get your mind out the big box stores.
We know you can do it.

Forbes Top 25 Towns To Live Davis #19
We love our town and Forbes Magazine thinks it's pretty cool too. Come by on Sat. for Indie Davis and check the town out.
19. Davis, Calif.
Population: 68,660
Location: Between Sacramento and the Bay Area, though definitely solidly part of the Sacramento metro area.
Median income: $52,322
Strongest categories: Davis attracts a high share of people with a bachelor's degree or higher (70%) and international workers with education (who represent 6% of the adult labor force). A college town, it's stocked stocked with plenty of restaurants and bars.
Drawbacks: It's a decent hike to Northern California business capitals San Francisco and San Jose. It lacks the world-class entertainment those cities regularly attract. Further, Californians earning $52,322 have a difficult time making ends meet.
