Unique LA this weekend!

April 23rd, 2010

We are proud and excited to announce that we will be participating in Unique LA this weekend! Unique LA is the largest independent design show in the country and will include 300 vendors and their locally made wares.  Come out and support local designers and artisans for two days of shopping, eating and crafting fun! From clothes to jewelry to art to CHOCOLATE, there’s something to please everyone. Also, because you and I both know that shopping can work up an appetite there will be two cafes featuring some of LA’s best restaurants and gourmet food trucks.  Work shops will be going on both days for the crafter in all of us.  Learn how to make new stuff out of old sweaters or design steampunk style jewelry. Sip free drinks from the bar and rock out to dj jams whilst you check out some of the best things LA has to offer, there’s even an area for the kiddies! Mother’s Day will be here before we know it and what a great place to find the perfect gift for the most important lady in your life. Tickets are 10$ and unique will donation a portion of the sales to the non-profit group GreenWish,  which helps support nine local environmental groups including Friends of Los Angeles River, Surfrider Foundation and Algalita.

I have been hard at work in preparation for the event and have whipped up ten batches of caramel and eight batches of marshmallow and still counting. We will feature our most popular and favorite “Bites” confections including Smores, Caramels, and Krispies.   In honor of our lady earth today and every day we will be using 100% recycled shopping bags that can be re-used or one again recycled!

    I bought some of your smores bites at Unique LA – they were supposed to be a gift for a friend, but I ate ’em. They were AMAZING. I’ll definitely be buying more!
