We are so excited to be a part of the East Bay Mini Maker Faire again this year. It’s like the huge San Mateo fair in May but tiny and in Oakland. However, you find the same zany artists, scientists, engineers and merry makers at both! The show is on October 14th and you can… READ MORE
Woo hoo! I got my first International order from Etsy and the first lesson I learned is that I didn’t charge enough for shipping – D’oh! But the most exciting bit is that it is my little cup named Charlie and he is moving to Australia — ie the motherland for me. I feel so… READ MORE
We’re so excited to announce that Ezme is now being carried in the Collector Art store on College Ave in Berkeley and also in a pop up shop in Oakland called Loakal (started by Loretta of the clothing line 5733 — does this girl EVER sleep??)
