PUT ON YOUR VOTING CAPS!

That’s right gang, it’s that time of year again. The much awaited Bohemian Best of the North Bay Awards! This is your chance to get your VOICE HEARD.  If you are like me then you like to give your opinion and you like results. Well, it couldn’t get much easier and it’s very satisfying. In fact it’ s a lot easier than climbing to the top of a mountain and shouting and arguably much more efficient. All you have to do is follow this link to the BoHo on-line ballot and fill it out as best as you can. You don’t have to fill out EVERYTHING, but they won’t even count ballots if they only have one item voted for, so take a minute and think about some of your local favorite stuff and then VOTE for it. It’s fun, you’ll like it. And then maybe what you vote for will win! How great is that? Don’t forget to vote for Arboretum for best women’s clothing store AND best men’s too, OK? Thanks! For some reason we just really want to win and don’t want that other store in Santa Rosa to win the “Best Of” title, because they really aren’t. So, Please vote for us. Me and Kate really appreciate it.

ENTERMODAL - THE ULTIMATE LUXURY ITEM

Entermodal. Truly the most beautiful leather bags ever created. These luxurious bags are the brainchild of Larry Olmstead who is steadfast in his environmental and sustainable practices. Adhering to pre-industrial revolution techniques for the creation of each bag ensures a quality and product longevity long forgotten by most modern, disposable minded companies.  Each bag is designed and constructed to withstand a life time of use. To insure the highest level of quality each bag is HAND CRAFTED at the Entermodal studio in Portland, Oregon.  It takes 2-5 days to make a single bag as every detail uses old world techniques and no machinery. This allows Entermodal to support local industries, reduce transportation impacts, participate in education and promote a dying trade in America. The vegetable tanned leather used is free from formaldehyde and heavy metals. In addition all of the tannins used are sustainably harvested, meaning that trees are not damaged in the process. It doesn’t really get much better than that. Did we mention that these bags are drop dead beautiful too?

For a lot more details on how and why Entermodal is such an amazing company, visit their website.

DIRT candles

Here they are. Some of the finest candles on the market for so many reasons. Let’s just get straight to it, shall we. Who doesn’t like candles? I can’t think of one person. And what’s not to like about DIRT candles? They are made from 100% natural soy wax and use organic ingredients as well as environmentally sound business practices. They come in a recycled/recyclable paper box, encased in a recyclable (of course) glass jar and have an aluminum snuffing lid. The company believes in giving back to our society and that’s why their products are environment-friendly, animal-friendly, and people-friendly. Dedicated to making a difference in the world, DIRT donates a portion of all sales to various causes chosen by their customers and employees! How cool is that?!
