Hank and I took a little stroll down to Fort Mason on Saturday to check out West Coast Craft.

West Coast Craft is a craft and design show featuring carefully selected designers, artists, and craftspeople inspired by the mood and aesthetics of West Coast lifestyle. Cool but sunny, laidback yet innovative, they represent the best of West Coast craft.

Below is a roundup of some of the new, up-and-coming artisans I came across (fyi, there were over 250!). I should have gotten a head start of my Christmas shopping…

Elliefunday :: beautiful baby blankets that change the lives of marginalized women in India (I picked up an awesome handkerchief bib for Hank).

Galanter & Jones :: Heated Outdoor Furniture (imagine the feeling of relaxing in a hot tub without getting wet).

Noble Carriage :: Organic Baby Clothes + Gifts.

Gray Market :: Fresh, Classic textiles for you and your home.

Caravan Pacific :: American Crafted Lighting.

Canoe :: modern leather goods.

The Granite :: an emerging female-owned and operated creative studio and workshop with evolving focus and inspiration.

A Summer Afternoon :: Natural Wooden Toys.

Pigeon Toe Ceramics :: objects with a story.

Christy Dawn :: dresses handcrafted in LA.
