Shop Anouncements -- Updates and Magic Items

Our shop at CRAFTED has a new look and layout.  Come to San Pedro this weekend to see the new items and workspace.

One of our popular items is the Magic Wallets by featured artist, Ryan Hansen.  These simple and understated thin wallets are handmade, one-of-a-kind, from upcycled hardback vintage book covers. 

Drop any receipts, monies, or loose papers into the center, close the wallet, open it from the other side and your items are secure.  Magic!!

Wallets measure 4 inches by 2.75 inches and 1/2 an inch thick. Bands are made from elastic and will stretch to fit more and more things.  2 slots on the insides of the wallet can fit at least 6 cards in each side once broken in.

Make.Shop.Live. loves supporting artists who innovate functional items from seemingly used and recycled materials.  Come to our shop at CRAFTED for the discounted price of $20 each.  Be sure to check out Ryan's site for more items and info.


XOXO, KC

UNIQUE LA's 4th Annual Holiday Show 2011

Here is our UNIQUE LA Picture Wrap-Up! Thanks for everyone who came out and said "Hello"! 

Those of you who couldn't make it- here are the Highlights:

Set-up began Friday and Kevin brought up all of our items for our booth. We did one load in our new FIT and it was just big enough to get everything we needed display wise nicely. 

We lucked out and had an obstructive column just outside our booth that we could decorate on and make sure our booth was visible from the aisle way. :)

Kevin made some AH-MAZING record accessory stands for UNIQUE! Here are some of my favorites:

 There were Craft Demos featured by the Craft and Folk Art Museum- Making Upcycled Gift Bows.

If you happened to miss the demo- Here is our tutorial to make upcycled bows this holiday...
