I stumbled on this little shop called Swankety Swank in the Western Addition of San Francisco a few months ago with a friend. It is filled with amazing arts and crafts by local artists but the crowning glory is the owners hand painted furniture.
Yabette takes solid wood furniture and hand paints with in amazing colors and with amazingly creative and beautiful details.
She sells her large work on craigslist and her smaller sewn items on the Swankety Swank etsy shop. She has a blog where she announces the fashion and art shows she organizes.

There are more and more creative people opening shops to sell local handmade goods and we should all make an effort to support the creative and entrepreneurial people who have opened them!
