This weekend I’ll be selling my work at Remodelista Market here in LA! All weekend long, I’ll be selling my favorite Cotton & Flax gifts, alongside 30 fantastic local artisans. I’m particularly excited to shop from my friends at Chaparral Studio, Knotwork LA, and Scout Regalia!
The sale runs from 10-5pm both Saturday and Sunday, December 5th and 6th, at Big Daddy’s Antiques on the westside of LA. Do some holiday shopping, and check out Cotton & Flax goods in person — hope to see you there!
It’s finally time for Renegade’s Holiday Market here in Los Angeles! I’m looking forward to spending the weekend catching up with my favorite makers from around my community, and talking with shoppers about the hard work and love that goes into my work for Cotton & Flax. Plus, I get a chance to buy gifts – it’s always more fun to buy directly from local artists and makers than to brave the mall at the 11th hour.
Renegade’s Holiday Market takes place at the beautiful Grand Park (Downtown LA between Broadway and Spring St.) from 10-5 on Saturday and Sunday. There’s no entry fee, so bring a friend or two, and support local designers while you finish your holiday shopping!
Cotton & Flax will be at booth #164 all weekend, with tons of giftable coasters, tea towels, napkins, trivets, and pillows – plus a special sale section just for Renegade. Stop by and say hello!
I’m excited to be taking part in a new holiday event this year called West Coast Craft! This is it’s second year at the Fort Mason Center, and the lineup is absolutely stellar. West Coast Craft takes place on December 6 & 7, from 10am to 6pm in the Herbst Pavilion in the historic Fort Mason Center on the San Francisco waterfront.
I’m looking forward to spending the weekend catching up with old friends in the Bay Area, plus shopping for holiday gifts from some of my favorite makers. Cotton & Flax will be at booth #108 all weekend, with tons of giftable coasters, tea towels, napkins, trivets, and pillows – plus a special sale section just for WCC. Stop by and say hello!
Are you making any of your holiday gifts by hand? I tend to make at least a few gifts each year, although I never seem to have enough time, and end up buying the rest of my gifts on Etsy or at local craft fairs and holiday markets (like Renegade!) When I do have some free time to work on DIY projects, I love to turn to The Purl Bee, one of my favorite DIY project resources, for inspiration.
If you’re like me, and are starting the holiday season with the best intentions to make your gifts by hand, maybe these DIY projects from The Purl Bee will get you started!

Yet another weekend of craft fairs for me! This time it’s one of my favorites: the 4th Annual Renegade Craft Fair San Francisco Holiday Market on December 15 + 16! It will be hosted in the Concourse Exhibition Center (a cozy cabin of a venue, I really love it) from 11am-6pm both days. I’ll have lots of textile home goods available for sale, so if you live in the Bay Area, come by and say hello!
Here’s more from the Renegade SF website:
You’ll find 250+ of today’s very best indie crafters, exciting interactive workshops, music, food, booze + plenty more. Strolling among the carefully curated booths at the SF Holiday Market, you’ll see some of the very best in contemporary handmade crafts. Add to that a free-to-use photobooth and some excellent shopping music, and you’ve found the very best spot to get your holiday shopping done! It’ll be a festive handmade holiday in San Francisco.
Renegade SF is always one of my favorite shows to participate in. There are so many talented artists and makers in the Bay Area, and I love having an opportunity to talk with so many like-minded people in one weekend. If you’ve never been to Renegade SF, this year looks like it’s going to be the best show yet!
I know I published a strikingly similar gift guide a couple weeks ago, but I recently visited Portland, Oregon (my hometown), and decided to do a Pacific NW version of the perfect gift for anyone who loves a good brew.
1. Rogue Chipotle Ale
2. Cast Iron Bottle Opener from Schoolhouse Electric
3. Wool Felt Coasters from Cotton & Flax
This is the fifth gift guide I’ve posted so far this holiday season! See all my gift guides here!
