Each one is 3D printed, including the porcelain ones, and Claudia loves to talk about her process - visit her booth at IHESF to find out more! |  |

Designer Sabine Hermann discovers the "Season's beauties" with her camera on walks and bike rides in the San Francisco Bay Area. All photos are custom printed on cotton canvas or a sturdy poly. The shape of the pillows is inspired by the actual plant transforming it into a "Plantillo" which doesn't need watering and you can even rest your head on! |

Winter in the Bay Area is nice - yes, it gets dark early, there's a bit of a chill in the air, and if you're lucky you might catch a light flurry of snow at the top of Mt. Tam on just the right day in January - but really, our winters are rather easy. I am originally from NYC, so I know true winter - bundled up in so many layers you can barely move, that singular delight of carefully stepping off a curb onto what you think is a stable layer of ice, only to find that it is, in fact, an ankle deep puddle of slush. While wearing ankle boots. Yeah...East Coast winters are no joke. Here in Northern CA, we can layer sweaters, rock shorts and legwarmers at will, and still be cute on an evening out in December rather than bundling up in Sorrels and ear warmers.
Here are a few of my favorite cool and cozy apparel and accessories from the 6th Annual SF Etsy Holiday Emporium, at historic Pier 35, November 24th & 25th. Enjoy!

Latisha Baker Artworks, Small Crescent Ear Cookies, $48
Considering that Oakland-based artist Latisha Baker creates her signature Ear Cookies while listening to chanting Buddhist monks, it makes sense that her work has a distinct, meditative quality to it. She creates her pieces in sets of 12, using a unique pyroetching/woodburning technique to achieve her designs.

They come with a soft, lush cork fabric interior, imported from Portugal. Each purse is hand crafted, locally sourced and made with several vegan, eco-friendly and sustainable materials, hand finished with coconut oil. And what's best of all - a portion of every sale is donation to Save The Elephants charity.
Bodhi Swag, Malta Turban, $22
Bodhi Swag, the brainchild of sisters Laura Kavanaugh and Nydia Cisneros, brings quality, never quantity, with each of their contemporary, resort, and athleisure collections. In addition to these headwraps, Bodhi Swag makes amazing cocoons, all designed and tailored in CA.

Welcome to SF Etsy
We're a collective of over 2700 Etsy sellers in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The SF Etsy Street Team is 100% in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
We condemn the violent acts, murders, crimes, and police brutality inflicted on the BIPOC community. These terrible and senseless acts must come to an end!
As a team, we will continue to share and raise awareness for our community of artists, specifically, black, indigenous, and people of color.
We urge you to make a purchase from a BIPOC artist, maker, dreamer and small business owner.
---------------------------
Like the San Francisco Bay Area in which it is located, SF Etsy is a vibrant and diverse community, full of creativity.
We strive to support and promote local Etsy sellers by sharing expertise and advice, hosting local shows and events, and providing a valuable network of local talent and resources.
