New in Shop! Handmade Items Section + Shop UpdateHello Friends, It's been a really long time since my last shop update and I know that there have been many questions regarding in-person shopping.

Please Bear with Us: Shop UpdateHello Friends, As if things had not been crazy enough with the San Diego lock-downs, our little beautiful community has been targeted by rioters. For those not familiar with San Diego geography, La Mesa is a sister community and suffered major havoc. The news covered the major businesses that were razed, but didn't make as large a mention of the small businesses that were looted.

Say "No" to Bamboo (Viscose) and RayonHave you ever wondered why we don't carry bamboo fabrics? If you have, you are not alone.

Bamboo requires immense amounts of water and chemical processing to become bamboo viscose. The primary chemical concerns are the use of So...
