Bay-Made: Happy Earth Day! I got to spend the last couple of days exploring nature and I was reminded just how grateful I am for our beautiful planet, and yet fearful for our irresponsible stewardship. We must divorce ourselves from fossil fuels, and return to the guidance of our Native peoples. Donating to places like the Sogorea Te' Land Trust in the Bay Area is a great way to help this happen, and to call your representative to demand they support legislation such as the G...reen New Deal. . . Here’s a little illustration I did earlier this year of some playful otters.

Local, family owned Colonial Donuts is calling! Yum.

At Adventure Toys: Happy Earth Day!

Bardo Lounge & Supper Club: Come home-away-from-home to Bardo again! We are thrilled to open reservations for dine-in, starting Thursday 4/15 - find us on Open Table (link on https://www.bardooakland.com) For the safety of our staff and community, we’re limiting capacity and setting some time limits, all while bringing our magic back to Lakeshore. We hope you are all taking good care of yourselves and each other, and we can’t wait to see you again soon.

Happy Easter to all that celebrate!

Shakewell Treat Yourself!

Meet Bay-Made’s new shipping manager : My new shipping manager Cricket came by today this morning for a few hours before I opened! She vocally told me she thinks I’m running a pretty tight ship, but wishes I had more salmon treats hidden around. I’m slowly introducing her because even adventurous cats like her take some time getting used to new experiences!

Hipline Feeling Jazzy - Saturdays 2pm PST w/ Tiffany LIVESTREAM Classically trained and brings us much joy!

Chocolate covered macaroons and Easter themed cookies! Good weekend to hop down to Arizmendi!

Proposition Chicken: Happy Passover to those who celebrate! We’re having some of Bubbie’s matzo ball soup to ring in the holiday. Chag Sameach!

Ohhh little store, you are a labor of love but I do love you so! I’m starting to get out of a funk (though it never *really* ends, I’m perpetually stressed abou...t our planet and its peoples) and am getting a ton of new fun things in for spring, and am actually planning some programming for the future. It’s not just an endless black pit of despair, like this time last year! Thank you everyone for your support this last year. It’s amazing and I feel so loved by my community. Onward! See more

At Adventure Toys Oakland:

Nikki Fortunato Bas, Councilmember: COVID HALLOWEEN GUIDANCE: Bay Area health officials recently released guidance on how to celebrate Halloween and Dia de los Muertos safely. Gatherings, celebrations, events or parties with non-household members are not permitted unless conducted in compliance with local and state health orders. Please avoid participating in traditional door to door trick-or-treating, and do not have trunk-or-treat where treats are handed from car trunks lined up in large parking lots. Not only do traditional celebrations pose a spread risk, they would also result in great difficulty in conducting appropriate contact tracing. Learn more at bit.ly/bayhalloween.
