Poppy & Finch
One-of-a-kind PNW native botanical centerpieces for special occasions,
events, homes or businesses, unique educational gifts and customized hands-on workshops.
Growing up as a child in Jakarta, Indonesia, I was always charmed by plants.
My fascination with their lives, how they grow, how they interact with animals and their functional
design led me to dream of a lifestyle that would serve their purpose.
We think of the earth as this enduring thing that nurtures us and will outlive us, but the truth is, it’s very fragile.
What we do for it while we’re here really does matter. I love being able to use my design skills to help
people understand that, and help them experience the beauty of giving the earth what it needs. I really believe
we have to plant locally and think globally. The plants we put in our gardens will feed the birds and butterflies
and all the other wildlife around us. Ninety percent of local leaf-eating insects, including caterpillars
that turn into butterflies, only can eat Native plants. Most of plants around us might be drought-tolerant but they are from Africa,
New Zealand, Australia, etc. Native plants is the base food web for the cycle of life. Gardening with Native is such
a rewarding experience, I really feel connected to nature.
I want to help people everywhere surround themselves with the real, authentic beauty of
this place, where we are so lucky to be living.

Pigeon Heart Designs
~ Lisa Hirsch ~
Pigeon Heart Designs, or simply- PHD is a jewelry company that taps into inspiration gathered from assessing strangers in the street, all the way to loved ones. We like to imagine our hand-hammered, organic jewelry on all different souls. PHD is the pride and joy of Lisa Hirsch: the primary maker and boss babe of the operation.
What makes PHD unique:
We believe art is a product of environment. Aside from the people we watch to glean the right visual fit from, we also absorb music, travels, podcasts, experiences, etc and transfer this all into the craft with a good dose of witchy magic.
We do not replicate other's styles because we have enough ideas and would't want that done to us!
Empowerment Collective

Beautiful design with purpose in mind.
Welcome to Local Women's Handicrafts, we are fair trade, eco-conscious collective of women who create unique fashion and decor in Nepal. Our mission is to help empower other women and to help educate them so they can be in charge of writing their own destiny. We provide safe spaces for women who have escaped abusive practices in the textile industry and other injustices in their local communities.
Our manufacturing facilities allow these women to learn new skills and craft as a group to help heal and rehabilitate their spirits. Through raising awareness and making fashion in an ethical way we aim to end childhood slavery, forced marriage and other injustices against women.
