Brett from Alchemy Goods will be joining us at Click! for Shop Late Thursday, December 1st from 6 to 9pm. He has assured us that he’ll have plenty of bags that you haven’t yet seen at Click! and of course all the favorites.

the Ravenna, $98 • one of the best selling bags we carry

Mission statement by Alchemy Goods: “Turning useless into useful”. In AG’s SODO studio this means upcycling used bike tire inner tubes for a second go ’round as great looking handbags, wallets, laptop bags, backpacks and more. These hardworking, stylish bags stand the test of time (again) and keep whatever you need to tote safe and sound. Although this time of year, their greatest feature may be that they are a great gift for both guys and gals!

the Pike, $138 • a new and welcome addition to Click!’s collection.

Elliott Dopp Kit, $32 • so much classier than a ziplock bag.

This is the 4th of seven Junction Shop Late Thursday events before the holidays. Don’t miss out on the fun. Most shops are open until 9pm with specials and events all evening. Stroll around and get festive! Check here for a full list of Click!’s line up.

Did I mention that beverages will be provided by Alchemy’s SODO neighbors DRY Soda? Keep it local!

Puppets by Cate + Levi

Click Design — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 19:08:17 +0000

Puppets! “Cate + Levi” started when Josh Title, the founder, became a father and wanted to provide environmentally friendly toys for his son. Not finding what he wanted in stores, he decided to make his own. The end result of this father’s quest for sustainable toys are these awesome puppets, hand-stitched in Toronto, Canada, from reclaimed sweaters.

Each puppet is uniquely one-of-a-kind, since they are all handmade from found materials. Click here for a video of how they’re made!

The puppets come in a range of animals – from dogs & cats to walruses & slugs – and each one is $30.

We also have the perfect card from Seltzer that dovetails nicely with our new puppets! If you’ve ever been confused on the rules of peek-a-boo, here are the details:

Seltzer cards $3.50

New York Report #1

John — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:10:17 +0000

Day one at the New York International Gift Fair had us covering the aisles in Handmade and At Home. What were we excited about? Well for one thing, the most adorable salt and pepper shakers in the world, and their friends, cozy-wearing mugs:

Handmade in Montreal by PMO Designs, these are absolutely adorable, and surprisingly affordable. The cable-knit cozies are made by the artist’s mother. Love it!

The next most exciting news? We’re having a Poppi party. The exact date hasn’t been set, but it sounds like the amazing Dawn Benedetto, creator of the fabulous Poppi rings, will be bringing a full selection of her jewelry for a show at Click! in early May, just in time for mother’s day. I’m just saying. Here Dawn and John are discussing possible dates:

Lollipop Lollipottery

John — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:31:52 +0000

At home, we have a wide assortment of handmade mugs. We use them daily, defiant of the increased risk of breaking our beloved one of a kind functional art pieces. There is something about waking up to a lovely drink (like, say, coffee) when you are drinking it out of a mug that loves you right back that makes you feel like the world is actually a pretty good place, and that it will be OK to leave the comfort of the breakfast nook and be a part of it.

Introducing Lollipop Pottery, the creation of Tyler and Jessica, who got married and had babies and made mugs and bowls, and who make us happy every morning when we wrap our hands around their creations (the mugs that is… we haven’t actually met their babies). They hand throw each piece, apply Jessica’s hand drawn decals, and hand embellish with lead-free glazes. That’s a lot of hands!

You’ve got to get up pretty early to get the matching bowl:

Food/microwave/dishwasher safe. $27 – $32.
