(Press) Town & Country, January/February 2012
Check out the current (well, for one more day) issue of Town & Country with Crickette Tantoco on the cover. We're in a great list by Marketman of his favorite merchants in town! Thanks, MM, we're honored.

(Events) Collective Art Fair, and Sale!
We'll be going on sale this Saturday. Various odds and ends, some pineapple fiber and cotton garments, and seedlings. Some hot cacao. So, come.
Furthermore, and more importantly, our hood has an Art Fair on that day! Here is the Facebook page, for more info and a map. There will be arts, crafts, film, food, and other vendors. A good chance to meet new people and see out-of-the-ordinary things!

(Food) Remembering Nochebuena
Nochebuena was a night of good food (both real and ceramic). It was put together by the Office of Culture and Design and us to show visiting ceramicist from Barcelona, Xavi Manosa (Apparatu), a good time, and to have a bit of friendly competition between cool projects. A few presented, and the table voted, and the winner took the kitty home (it was JJ of Pinoy Eats World-- pitching for an oven for a Dumaguete community kitchen).
The dinner featured local ingredients from our great producers, and was prepared by Tom Bascon and Erwin Lizarondo. It was great. Here are some photos (it's never too late). Read more about it here. We plan to do more dinners like this. Maybe we'll tell you all before (not after) we do it. ;)

(Inspiration) Bao Possibilties
A kitschy little thing that shows the possibilities of coconut shells, Saramsam, Laoag, Ilocos Norte.

Looking Forward, 2012
The silence is because of increase busy-ness, but also from a relaxing after the holidays, and technological goodbyes. So, let us take one last break before we launch into the year.
We are not going to be at the Legazpi Market this weekend, as the whole crew is heading out up north for some R&R and looking forward (isn't that a much better way to say "planning"?).
This shop is not just a business, it is our heart and our selves poured out into a physical space. As we change, become more experienced, meet new people and lay our feet on different soils, the shop changes shape. Needless to say, it hasn't really had a shiny new face after Christmas, but trust that after this weekend, we will know what rearrangements and additions, if any, to make. In the meantime, here are our resolutions.
Share more
An incredible amount of work and documentation goes into our product sourcing. We admit that we haven't been the best at sharing these. Our adventures will hopefully interest you and inspire you to explore your country or neighborhood a little bit more. Although we definitely aren't making our own travel show or podcast, we would like to keep you posted in a basic way about what we are doing. Yes-- this includes finally making a website.
Connect systematically with entrepreneurs
We meet some pretty amazing people. But we know there are much, much more. We want to meet more people from all walks of life that are passionate about what they are doing. People who are doing something good and original. People who aren't just copying the latest food and fashion blogs, or trends, but dialogue with their materials and can manifest truth and beauty through it. We like to meet you all! Have regular coffee chats together!
Travel less
Our other sustainable company, to do with cacao, is really taking off, so more focus is required of us. We shan't be shuttling off every other day anymore. We will be around to nurture all our projects!
Get more people to refill
That means you. This means design solutions and more dialogue and interaction.
Happy first quarter of the year, all!
