Jeannine Kombush
This Mother’s Day—psst, it’s on May 8; write it down—go beyond flowers or gift baskets, and show your love with a handmade treasure from an East Bay crafter. One-of-a-kind ceramics, eco-friendly goods, and accessories will add conversation-starting flair to Mom’s home or wardrobe. All items are available online, and some are sold locally at Atomic Garden in Oakland and Modern Mouse in Alameda.

I have been a huge fan of Cheryl's table and garden stuff for a while now. Her Etsy shop for garden is fun to browse too.
