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
