The summer weeks can be counted off by the order that plants come in, and we have already eaten its first juicy blackberries. That means that it's time to kick into overdrive, and make sure to get all the good times in while the days mellow and slowly get shorter. I have been hard at work in the store, alternating construction projects with frenetic bouts of sewing. This summer is all about mutated circus band uniforms crossed with understated urban basics! Check out the upcoming schedule of events. Write them down on a scrap of paper and slip it into your shoe. Then go hop a fence and find out what's on the other side! <3 R.

June 1st, June 9th, and beyond! CCC wants YOU!

Heya All! I can't believe that June is here. Let me know if you see where the spring went to, I just had it around here someplace. I lost it, I think, in between starting to make a million beautiful jackets for festival season, and desperately irrigating the gardens against Oakland's fierce sun. This week I woke up at 5am to see sailor friends off on their trip south, the boat packed to the gills with bikes, surfboards, everything they could possibly need. I gave them two bean plants and two fertilized duck eggs. Hooray summer! I hope you can stop by the studio sometime and see what we've been up to, it's a lot. Buy some stuff! Trades and special deals for mailing list subscribers are on the table too, so dream big! We will be keeping regular store hours noon-six, Thursday through Sunday, but also keep an eye on your calendar for these extra special events coming up.

1. First Friday Bike Party - June 1st
2. CCC Grand & Proper Art Opening - June 9th
3. First Saturday CRAFTERNOONS! - July 7th, August 4th
