Get Your Spokes Turnin'

The sun is out and days are getting longer! Head to your garage, dust off the ol' beach cruiser, and get some wind in your hair. Of course biking isn't just a summer activity, but doesn't it just make you smile that much more when it's warm and sunny? :)

We have some awesome bike accessories to help you cruise in style.

For all of you with a basket, you NEED this!

It's a reversible bike basket insert, that doubles as a Tote Bag! How cool is that?!

We have some awesome prints and solids!

Who doesn't need a bike bell? Spoke N Wheel Designs hand makes every single one! They're metal with resin and can take on any adventure. We have some awesome 3D ones as well. When biking, it's ok to be loud and proud!! Be seen AND heard...it's safer that way!

Artist Spotlight: Sylvia Marie

Since 1500 BC Mosaics have been a huge part of art and culture. Nowdays it's more used for home decor and art. We have the pleasure of working with artist Sylvia Marie from Whittier, CA. She makes beautiful Mosaic tables, desks, birdhouses, and other miscellaneous pieces...she refers to them as "hidden treasures". She finds the items at garage sales, vintage stores, and sometimes makes them herself. After finding the perfect piece, she makes her Mosaic masterpiece! The Mosaics themselves take about 3 days, then they take 1 week to cure.

Each creation has added treasures to make them a stand out piece, while still being functional!

Sylvia also does great hats! She purchases the plain hats and adorns them with beautiful flowers made of ribbon and other neat trims!

Stop by Hapa and check out her great work!
