MEET THE OWNER OF 100acreCo Anita Sparks




Anita Sparks


Anita Sparks owner of

100acreCo


Handmade in the USA toddler clothes & baby products
Mill Valley, California


Limited Release Clothing · Handmade in the USA
About

Welcome to my shop! 100 Acre was started as response to find unique, original, and versatile American made products. My store name is inspired by both my favorite children’s story and Mill Valley, CA. My wonderful husband, beautiful baby boy and I have the pleasure to live at the base of Mt. Tamalpais, surrounded by magnificent redwood forests on the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

My love of crafting and sewing were taught to me by my Grandma since I was a little girl. When I moved to California she gave me a new sewing machine, this store and my passion for sewing are dedicated to her. My creations are meant to be versatile, especially the reversible dresses. These dresses are meant to be worn year round and can be dressed up or down.

Moving to Mill Valley has made me appreciate nature and simplicity more than ever before. However we are also surrounded by the most innovative and creative ideas that you could only find in the San Francisco bay area. Hence, the fabrics I choose are a mix of modern, classic and fun. They are meant to be simple and beautiful. My look is fashion forward without being trendy - in a word: Timeless. In addition, my creations are limited release so any item you purchase is unique and original. Finally, all my items are handmade in Mill Valley, CA.

My husband, family and friends have been outstanding supporting me in this new role. Previous to having a family I worked at major university doing agricultural research for 10 years. Now I’m a full time mom and wife. My goal is to continue to introduce new designs and products. Thank you so much for taking a moment to stop by my shop.

Always grateful,

Anita

(¸.•´ (¸.•´ ♥ My passion is knitting and my creations are beautiful, fun and functional. I have been knitting for decades and I love to knit "freehand" and without using patterns. My designs are originated from two needles, some yarn and a passing thought. I love to design as I knit and see it warp into something fabulous. Eventually, it becomes more "planned" and into a written pattern.
I have a 2nd shop where I am selling my overstock of supplies. You can get some knitting and sewing supplies at a great price. http://www.etsy.com/shop/ohmayzee
I have moved some of my patterns to a 3rd shop, If you are a knitter and want to make one of my designs for your own, check out OhmayDIY.... http://www.etsy.com/shop/OhmayDIY

I am married with two wonderful grown children and two fabulous grandchildren; all living local. They keep me busy and very happy. 

I enjoy working with different metals, beads and gemstones. I am a softy for the classic and romantic designs such as hand knotted pearls, so I will always offer those pieces in my shop.

Kathleen - Owner, Maker, Curator 
Dress Clothes Pin Bag/ Vintage Day of the Week / Wash on Monday Clothespin BagI have been sewing all my life, and come from 3 generations of seamstresses. I love all things vintage and have been going to flea markets and estate sales for many years. Sewing and "hunting " are THE most fun!

Combining sewing and vintage
I chose the name "Vintage Encore" because my mission is to re purpose the vintage linens, that I have collected over the years, in a new and serviceable way.
I combine them with new fabrics, in my own patterns, to make totes, aprons, clothes pin bags, etc.
Etsy provides another outlet for my one of a kind items, in addition to participation in my local craft shows. It's all good!

MEET CAROL CHRISTOPHER OWNER OF QUIRKYN BERKELEY CARDS

Carol Christopher
Owner, Maker, Designer, Photography, Shipping
My cards are original designs and truly handmade. I add several new ones every month, so check back frequently to see what's new. I have a great deal of fun making them -- especially those that are a little out of the ordinary, and hope you will enjoy browsing through the more than one hundred designs I keep in the shop. Feel free to request a change in color scheme or sentiment on an existing card. 
I enjoy the challenge of custom requests, and take pleasure in working with you to create a card that reflects your personal tastes. With an inventory of thousands of rubber stamps, I am well-equipped to meet the needs of corporate clients as well, and am happy to consider bulk pricing. I also collect hard-to-find stamps for all of life's occasions such as religious events, retirements, anniversaries, and condolences.
Oh, and I also make teenytinyenvelopes for my second Etsy shop. Come and visit www.teenytinyenvelopes.etsy.com.
