This past week we had a day of fun out on the town for shooting the shot for our upcoming flyer. As circumstances occurred, one model had to cancel last minute and another was late due to traffic. We ended up only having 30 minutes to shoot when we got to our location. I even had to step in and model myself! It turned out that 30 minutes was just enough time to get some great shots.

Thanks go out to the clothing designers for letting us borrow the beautiful articles of clothing, the models Aziza Bahati and Natalia Wierzba for their time and Gregory Bartning for his amazing photo skills.

Here are a few pictures from the day. Which photo do you think will be picked for the Summer Temporary Store?

Clothes modeled are from Miranda Caroligne, Miss Velvet Cream, and Sea Pony.

New Jewelry by Eve of Candelas Designs.  

We hope you enjoy these cute designs as much as we do. Eve pays great detail to her work. What we like about her jewelry is how it is made.

Her jewelry is made from recycled scrap copper and silver. For some pieces, she incorporates the beautiful patina of the old copper into her designs. After preparing the pieces of scrap copper, she either enamels them on both sides so that the pieces are reversible or stamps and heats them with a torch to give them a heat patina. This is a time involved process!

If you have sensitive ears not to worry, all of the ear wires are either niobium, an inert metal which does not cause allergic reactions, or sterling silver. The sterling wire comes from scrap silver that has been melted and formed into new wire. No silver was removed from the earth to create these earrings. Not bad! 

Check out her work and what is available for sale online!

If there’s one thing that always remains in fashion, it’s the weekend. As plenty head out of town on holiday adventures, others will be launching last-minute shopping missions and hunting down enviable outfits for upcoming soirees.

For either endeavor, you can start the weekend off feeling warm and fuzzy when you take a can of food to the Maneater Threads Holiday Sample Sale and save an additional 35 percent on already discounted apparel from such designers as Nu Collective, Burning Torch, Rami Kashou and Mike & Chris.

• What: Maneater Threads Holiday Sample Sale
• Where: 101 Townsend St., Suite 302, 415-777-1488
• When: Fri. 4-7pm.

Next, we’d recommend a visit to the Lower Haight for the final weekend of the SFGallery143 Holiday Store, which brings a slew of local indie designers together under one roof. You’ll find hand-crafted jewelry from Fluidance, avant-garde offerings from folks like Bad Unkl Sista and Miranda Caroligne, scarves by Harlequin Feltworks and lots of locally-made products. On Friday and Saturday nights, 10 percent of the proceeds go to a featured artist beneficiary, while Sunday closes out the month-long event with an all-day 10 percent discount on everything in the shop.

• What: SFGallery143 Holiday Store
• Where: 143 Fillmore St. (at Waller St.)
• When: Fri. 3-9pm, Sat. 11am-9pm, Sun. 12-6pm

From there, check out sample sales taking place on both sides of the Bay. In the Mission, 2008 Gen Art alum Serial Cultura will be having a holiday event featuring the designer’s signature scarves for $20 to $60, as well as ceramics, jewelry, paintings and other unique items from local artists, including Papaver Vert.

• What: Serial Cultura Holiday Event
• Where: 724 Valencia St. (at 18th)
• When: Sat. 1-8pm

Across the Bay Bridge, edgy Oakland-based fiftyseven-thirtythree will be spreading holiday cheer with a Christmas Party and Warehouse Sale. The hipster apparel company’s graphic tees and hoodies will be 30 to 60 percent off retail during the event.

• Where: 5733 San Leandro St., #4, Oakland, 510-207-0088
• When: Sat. 2-8pm

A warehouse sale of another kind goes down this weekend in Union Square. A serious boon to jeans fiends, The Warehouse Sale brings rack upon rack of premium denim brands to the Hilton San Francisco at a discount. While the company prefers to stay mum about the exact brands it will offer, our previous visits have turned up pairs from Seven for All Mankind, Chip & Pepper, Ditto, J Brand, Miss Me and many others.

• What: The Warehouse Sale
• Where: The Hilton San Francisco, 333 O’Farrell St., Yosemite Room

Check out the pictures of the Summer Store!

So I admit I have been bad the last month or so about posting and keeping everyone updated on new events around the city, but it was all for the love of creating our new SUMMER consignment store with products from all local Designers, Jewelers, and Artists from San Francisco.  

We have a mix of designers from the last December opening as well as 6 or 7 new and wonderfully talented people ranging from painters, clothing designers, and jewelers.

 Some people you may have heard of, such as Miranda Caroligne and the Brown Banana; others are still getting established, such as painter/mixed media artist Bean, and one in particular that just moved to the city a month ago from Minnesota, Nikolas Allen with his line RNG8GRL.

The store will be open from June 8th – June 28th, and if Gregory is willing and able to postpone his photo studio space, we will be open for another week! So come by 143 Fillmore Street and meet the talent this city has to offer!

Designers include: Yahzi Rose, eon on u, Cookie and the Dude, Miranda Caroligne, Daka, A-Liaison, Nikolas Allen, 

Jewelers include: The Brown Banana, Fluidance, Candelas Designs, Dida Jewelry, Tribal Stones, Rachel Jordana Jewelry
