Around here we’re giving #MCM a new meaning — MAKER Crush Monday. Re:Make may only come but once a year, but we love attending maker markets (when we’re not chilling virtually in the B+C Shop) close to the holidays to score finds for everyone on our list. Over the past few weeks at West Coast Craft and the San Francisco Bazaar, we’ve been BUSY. Scroll through to discover some of our favorite West Coast-based makers (represent!).
