A new gift shop called ECHO grove featuring hand crafted items from around the United States is coming to Orinda Theatre Square this spring. Items will include handpicked jewelry, iPhone/iPad cases and more for both women and men.
From their website:
A few months ago, my wife and I decided to open a gift shop devoted to 100% handcrafted items from across the USA. The ensuing months have been a blast, attending craft fairs, meeting really cool people that are doing really cool things with natural and reclaimed materials, just generally keeping alive the spirit of distinctiveness in a world of mass produced individuality. Every day made us believe more and more that people in general are hungry for a dose of the real in this increasingly virtual world.
So yesterday we signed a lease on #112 at Orinda Theater Square in beautiful downtown Orinda, CA (Now with an extra bore, no more disappearing lanes). Our little shop will be a haven where you can come in, browse at your leisure and learn more about the individual artisans that make the amazing and useful gifts for women, men, kids, pets and your home.
Be sure to keep an eye on this space, as well as following us on Facebook and Twitter, as we build our little shop and just maybe bring back an appreciation for the craftsmen, the artisans, the builders and the artists that are the true stars of our crazy venture.
