We all love to create, whether that’s deciding what to wear in the morning, what recipes to prepare at night or how we decorate our homes. That’s why we decided that our next chapter would be a permanent retail space where we connect, inspire and CREATE in real life with you!
Makeshop, located just outside of San Francisco in Mill Valley, CA, is a new type of retail experience designed by all of us here at Brit + Co where you can both make and shop, all under one roof.
With themes that change every couple of months (this month's theme: School's in Session), you can find colorful, creative and innovative products curated (or created) by Brit and her team, as well as a Make Station where you can sit down to make your own free creative project to take home. In our first rotating collection of goodies from our favorite designers, we're excited to represent our friends from Esselle, ilootpaperie, Wanderwild, Maika, Hooray Socks, and Society6. We're also offering some of our own Brit + Co products, including customizable planners, pins, patches, sticker sheets, DIY kits, books and more.
Whether you live in the Bay Area or you’re here on vacay, come on over to the recently renovated (and so darling!) Mill Valley Lumbar Yard, grab lunch at one of our fave local eateries Flour & Craft Bakery and hang out with us to make, shop or just say hello. We can’t wait to meet you!

One Tree Hill fans go through a lot throughout the show's 9-season run. Everything from family drama to psycho stalkers, kidnappers, and murder. But there's one down-to-earth moment in the series that confuses fans just as much as the outlandish ones: when Brooke (Sophia Bush) marries Julian (Austin Nichols) and her BFF Peyton (Hilarie Burton) isn't there.
@dramaqueenspodcast hilarie wasn't invited back to Brooke wedding #brulian#austinnichols#julianbaker#sophiabush#brookedavis#haleyjamesscott#peytonsawyer#bethanyjoylenz#dramaqueensoth#dramaqueenspodcast#onetreehill#braley♬ original sound - Drama Queens Podcast
In an episode of their Drama Queens rewatch podcast, Sophia Bush finally explained the real reason Peyton wasn't at Brooke's wedding: Hilarie Burton just...wasn't asked.
"Since you're talking about how much sh—t you got, I feel like this is a really important moment to tell our fans that we were told, Joy and I, that you had been invited back for the episode and said no," Sophia Bush says. "They had essentially asked us in the press to be like, 'Oh, well, you know, she was invited to come but was doing White Collar,' or whatever you were working on at the time...When I talked to you and found out that was a lie, I went ballistic. I was so mad. Oo I was mad!"
Sophia did tell Hollywood Life in 2011 that, "We really tried, and we of course would have been thrilled because their characters were big parts of our story. It doesn’t always work. So for the fans out there who always ask me on Twitter to get the bosses to ask them back, they’ve been asked back… but scheduling conflicts are scheduling conflicts.”
“Quite frankly, we just couldn’t make a deal,” creator Mark Schwahn also told TV Line at the time. “Everybody had the best intentions. But at the end of the day, it just didn’t work out.”
The fact that Peyton didn't show up to Brooke's wedding has always been a pain point with fans because it just doesn't make sense for her to miss her lifelong best friend's wedding! "Peyton should have been at Brooke's wedding," Bethany Joy Lenz says.
"Peyton should have been there and it wasn't up to any of us," Sophia adds.
Hilarie shed some light on the situation from her perspective, explaining that she only remembers getting one call to guest star, but she was heavily pregnant.
"I was pregnant with Gus, it was in October of I guess season 7, and my manager got a call that was like, 'Hilarie's on the board for this episode, so we're trying schedule her travel,'" she explains. "And we had had an epic fallout as I left the show, and my manager had been told all these things by our bosses that were just like horrific about me and that I'd never work again and all this stuff. And so it was just this really pleasant call from, like, a secretary...I was like super pregnant! And I was like 'Uh, I'm unavailable.'"
"We'll just have to do it again," Hilarie adds. Who knows, maybe the One Tree Hill sequel series will feature a vow renewal!

Lately, TikTok is buzzing with talk of "minimalism" and using less when you can. Between caring for the world and saving money, the trend has taken hold and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. But don't worry! Buying less doesn't have to mean sacrificing on style or giving up the trending makeup looks you want to try out. The monochromatic makeup look has been around for years, but it's really starting to hit its stride. A single product, or even two or three, can be used to keep your entire face of makeup in the same color family and gives you a cohesive look while also minimizing the makeup products you buy and use regularly. If you're interested in trying out the monochromatic makeup look for yourself, you've got to check out these finds.
