Well, the cat is out of the bag! Or…store.
While I have *loved* having our shop cats over the years, with our new model of store opening in May paired with some health issues Sundae is displaying, I’ve made the decision to move her home with me at the end of the month.

Sundae has often been the reason I have been able to keep myself together enough to get to the store in my darkest moments over the last three years she has been here. I’m very grateful for her.

I truly love this cat, and I know how much the community loves her, too. I love getting messages with photos of her in the early morning hours, basking in the sun from our window. I love hearing kids scream “SUNDAEEEE!!” from their strollers as they roll by. I love greeting customers with her rolling on the sun-warmed concrete in front of the entrance, laughing at her antics.

So please come by to send her your well-wishes before she moves in with me and my other three crazy animals. Her last day here will be Sunday, March 30th.

I hope that once she is settled, she will be interested in coming back to visit the store every so often. She is harness and leash trained and is cool as a cucumber, so I imagine this is likely and we will host Sundae Sundays for her fans to visit!

Thanks for loving my spicy-sweet cat as much as I do ❤️‍🔥💘💗😻

The shelves are looking cute today. Come by and say hi and maybe grab a little treat for yourself, you deserve it 😋

Happy Gotcha Day on the 28th to my spicy-sweet crook-tailed beauty Sundae 🌶️🍨🎀

She’s been at Bay-Made for three years now, and I just love her so much. We don’t know what her full history is, the vet’s guess is she’s probably 5-9 years old. Perhaps she came from Mexico as her microchip suggested (implanted by a rescue group that brings street dogs from Tijuana to southern CA and named “Manchitas”, Spanish for “Spots”, which is so cute haha), but at any rate she wound up under ’s mother in law’s deck three months after being chipped up near Petaluma, no one claimed her when I had her scanned, and the rest was history.

This friend finding Sundae is also funny as our first shop cat Heihei now lives with her, adopted from the shop when covid19 took off and a few weeks of cat sitting turned into them having her for almost a year. It feels fitting.

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Semi-closed today in solidarity! Like just stay home with your loved ones, do something creative, go walk around Lake Merritt…idk. I’ll be at the shop if you need something desperately like a card for your mama’s birthday that you forgot, i’ll just be printing and organizing.

Anyway i see a lot of discourse on how effective/ineffective boycotts are, especially one day ones. But every movement takes ONE DAY to start. Montgomery Bus Boycott started with one day, then grew. People have to commit that imperfect action still drives the arrow towards goodness forward. There are more people on our side than ever before, don’t forget that. The horrors persist but so do WE 🖤

Ginger’s here to announce new hours until April! 📣📣

I am blown away by the response my burnout video got. If you messaged me, I am gathering my thoughts and getting questions answered I hadn’t even thought about, but expect a response soon as well as a post here giving more info.

The general timeline for customers:

⭐️ Business as usual until April!

⭐️ We will close the entire month of April to get things turned around, and then open at the beginning of May in time for Mother’s Day.

Thank you for the love, I am truly galvanized by the support. ❤️‍🔥

Back tomorrow, since they don’t expect it on til 8pm. Our shop is SO cold and dreary without power this time of year. We’re gonna make sure Sundae is good but I’m so annoyed!

F**k Trump, Elon, Zuck, Bezos, and every other billionaire! We’re living in a n**i oligarchy and I’m disgusted.

Closing today because my mental health is hanging on by a thread and so I’m going to do nice things for myself and others today and not expose my dear customers to my sadness and haterade so I have energy to keep fighting and not keep my head in the sand just to keep functioning.

I’m sorry guys, I need a mental health day. Love you all! Closed today Tuesday 1/7. Back tomorrow!

I’m angrier but calmer than in 2016, and not surprised. The best thing to do is take action in your own community, and right now our homeless community needs our help especially as it gets colder. Take action! Mutual aid forever! Sending you love and fire to get things done. ❤️‍🔥

Ugh, I was supposed to have a class running tonight and I got so distracted and anxious with traveling mishaps (our daily driver is currently stuck in my sister’s driveway in Utah, super fun!) and with the election I just can’t do it. I didn’t promote it properly and I’m sorry. I hope you all have gotten out your vote though!

Here’s an oil painting of mine for tax. ANYWAY, show me your “I voted” sticker if you come by the shop today and I’ll give you 20% off anything except original and framed paintings (:
