OK, I just gotta say that sometimes the buying part of this job gets old quick. Looking through 3 foot high stacks of book catalogs - not my favorite way to spend a week. However, the seed catalogs are different!
I love 'em. We're going with a new seed vendor this year... Seed Savers Exchange. For those of you who are seed savers, you probably already know them - they're deep into protecting genetic diversity of garden plants. They're a non-profit, membership organization, and they've got a fantastic collection.
I think I may have to become a gardener this year. I just need to find myself some dirt. So - if you have any dirt that you're not using (ie. your yard... in berkeley) give me a call, maybe we can work something out!
Spring - just around the corner when you start looking at seed catalogs!

Holidays
Hey!
We're having tons of fun around here this holiday season. We've passed our big outside events. We were at the San Francisco Green Festival again this year, and had fun talking to THOUSANDS! of people. We also got to go to Bioneers, which was inspiring in spite of the rain.
We've also had a couple of wonderful authors around - Starhawk was here a few weeks ago for a wonderfully uplifting discussion about her new book, politics, activism, and life in a complicated world. Also, just last friday, Michael Nagler, a professor of peace and conflict studies at UC Berkeley came to speak with a very involved crowd about non-violence, and his new book.
Our glass, as expected has been a huge hit with holiday gift buyers. We have a large selection of 100% recycled glass, and also a selection of glass that's even better. It's re-used. Bottles have been cut to form the goblets and tumbler, the necks of the bottles are heated and re-shaped, and both are decorated. They're beautiful and have a wonderfully minimal impact on the planet.
thanks for listening!
Happy Holidays!
