SALE! That's right, we are having a Spring Equinox Sale... time to do some spring cleaning and make room for new items coming in! This will be a chance to score deep discounts on stragglers, seconds, and probably some random stuff I pull out of the closet! This will happen in the showroom on Friday, March 20th and Saturday the 21st! There will also be online sales for those not in Vallejo!

Shanese's Sound Baths are returning in March! Don't miss the intimate Wednesday night version of her beautiful offering at the TBD Showroom (upstairs)!

5pm till the last game…

Come join us for community, snacks, coffee, tea and the special game of mahjong at the TBD Showroom on Friday, February 20th at 5pm. Last year, my mom, aunties and I loved teaching so many new players, and we kept the games going all year long. Don’t be shy, come learn or come school us... we're all just having fun with it!

To me, Chinese New Year is all about celebrating with my family and friends and right now I need these gatherings more than ever. So do some quick house cleaning and sweep out all your bad energies before the 17th (first day of CNY), put on some lucky red and let’s celebrate this transformational year ahead of us in community!

No tickets for this event, but donations are welcomed to keep these events going. If you plan to join us, please shoot me a quick message or stop by the showroom room and let us know. We’re just trying to get a quick headcount.

You're invited to all the TBD holiday festivities!

Dec 03 2025 | 0 comments

It's been a while since we posted a calendar, but if it's not too late to invite you to all the holiday happenings this December, here is your formal invitation to allllll the festivities!

We'll be kicking things off with all our downtown Vallejo favorites at Vallejo's Mad Hatter Parade on Saturday, December 6th. The TBD Showroom will be celebrating with a MAD HATTER TEA PARTY and sharing new tea offerings starting at 9:00am during everyone's favorite Farmer's Market. We'll stay open through the beginning of the parade that starts around 4:30pm--so stop by for some tea, coffee or hot chocolate and get warmed up before heading over to Georgia Street. It's always a fun tradition and we love heading down to the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony around 6:00pm.

There is still time to sign up for our Discover Watercolor with Kris Goodie workshop on Sunday, December 7th! We’ll start with short, focused lessons on art supplies, color mixing, washes, and layering, then move into a guided still-life painting. Kris will be right there to help you troubleshoot, experiment, and answer all your questions along the way.

We continue a very busy week with THREE markets:

Wednesday, December 10th

Our first market is in Napa with the amazing Naysayer Coffee Roaster crew and a special Stoop Supper Club soup pop-up at the Annual Naysayer Holiday (Night) Market on Wednesday, December 10th from 5:00pm - 8:00pm. Naysayer is located at 1813 Old Sonoma Rd, Napa, CA 94559 so we hope you can join us and so many other amazing makers and vendors!

Thursday, December 11th

If you miss us in Napa, stop by the Benicia Arsenal Holiday Bazaar on Thursday, December 11th from 4:00pm - 8:00pm to check out other artists and vendors. We're so grateful to Once Upon A Canvas for extending the invite!

Sunday, December 14th

If a weekend market is easier for you, you can meet us in Oakland at the Preserved Goods Holiday Maker Market on Sunday, December 14th! We are so excited for this one and Kristin will be prepping her last batch of ceramic pickles for this one! Preserved is located at 5540 College Ave in Oakland.

And in between all the markets is Vallejo Art Walk on December 12th! Join us back downtown at the TBD Showroom anytime on Friday. We open at 10:00am and we'll be hanging all day and night for a special December Art Walk from 5:00pm - 9:00pm. This will be our official opening for the new TBD Tiny Gallery show featuring Tara Funk and her beautiful watercolors (originals for sale and in Mr. Lee's Art Machine!). Our favorite jewelry artist, Tangleweeds, will be popping up with lots of new work, and we'll have plenty of hot drinks and treats to keep you warm as you walk around and support our local artists and shops.

And as always, you can find us closing out the month with the crew at Coffee & Collage on Sunday, December 28th at Autonomous Gallery on Georgia Street.

Those are links to most of the events this month, but keep in mind, we will be open EVERY FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY this month for all of your holiday shopping or coffee and drink breaks amidst the end-of-year craziness :)

Friday 10:00am - 3:00pm
Saturday 9:00am - 3:00pm
Sunday 10:00am - 3:00pm
Or available by appointment!

We know that everyone is busy, so we truly appreciate every moment you share with us and every dollar you spend in our shop to support us. Thank you for continuing to show up and bring your friends and family into the shop every weekend--this is how we continue to grow and strengthen our community. We hope to see you at an event, market, or at the TBD Showroom soon!

With gratitude,

Micah and Kristin

TBD Summer/Fall Newsletter 2025

Oct 01 2025 | 0 comments

End of Summer... Look Towards Fall

This summer has been jam packed with beautiful events, travels, and new opportunities to lean into the creative journey of TreeBed Design.

It is hard to believe that summer is over (although this week has brought the heat around here)! This newsletter will recap some of the highlights of the last few months, and hint at some fun things to look forward to in this new season.

TBD Showroom Fall Dates

TBD Coffee Class: AeroPress - October 5th 10am-noon

Mid-Autumn Festival at the Showroom - October 5th 3pm- til the last mahjong game is played! Join us to celebrate the Autumn harvest with community, small bites, mahjong, mooncakes, and the official release of our ceramic Mooncake Chopstick Holders!

TBD Coffee Pop Up at The Exchange - October 12th @ The Exchange 10am-1pm

Sound Bath with Shanese - October 15th @ TBD Showroom 6pm

We are open (most) Fridays & Saturdays now!
Mid morning til 3pm(ish)... stop in, and see what is new!

Spectacular!

In July I hit the road to Iowa, to teach ceramics at a giant camp for high schoolers where I went to c ollege! This was my second year going back to teach, and it felt good to have a little better understanding of how to pull it all off! There were some hiccups (like fixing a kiln in the middle of it firing), but it all ended with lots of beautiful/creative work from the campers!

The adventure was also was a needed shift of gears for me to get out of my own studio (and head) to remember all the reasons I chose this creative path in the first place! Getting out on the road always helps clear my head, and spending time with loving folks is such a gift!

The trip ended with a surprise visit from Kristin, and a travel partner for the way home. I was able to give her the five min golf cart tour of campus, and then race up to catch an evening of tunes with my good friend Chad Elliott. We had a lovely morning in Des Moines... complete with severe thunderstorm, farmers market, Des Moines Art Center(where Chad and I helped Andy Goldsworthy make a sculpture years ago), Coffee/Snacks, and then a long drive west.

Baseball Art Show in the TBD Tiny Gallery

Big thanks goes out to all the participants in our Baseball (Vallejo Seaweed) inspired art show to round out the summer! We missed July's Vallejo Art Walk, but loved knowing that Mr. Lee's Art Machine was representing us over at Al ibi Bookshop. I loved seeing the art up on the wall (and in the machine) from all ages, and it felt like the perfect summer time show! We still have a few t-shirts with that baseball bird in the showroom... get one before they are gone!

Look for the art machine to make a return to Alibi Bookshop in October!

Harvest of the New (to TBD :)
We have a bounty of new items in the showroom (and on the website), and can't wait to share it all (no really, some of it is supposed to wait for holiday release, but I don't think I can)! Not only have Kristin and I been working on some sweet ceramic collaboration pieces, but we have found new artists and items to include in the TBD Showroom community. I will be sending out a newsletter dedicated to all the beautiful finds soon!

You might have seen that our next TBD Coffee Class is coming up soon, and will focus on the AeroPress... are you asking what the heck is an AeroPress? Great! We are excited to bring this coffee cult favorite to the TBD Coffee Gallery, and have some fun brewing with it at our upcoming class! This is a great travel or home option to brew a single cup. You can even use it to make a more concentrated "shot" (like espresso) of coffee. Maybe you'll dive deep and one day compete in the AeroPress competition!

Find it on the website, and in the showroom... keep an eye out for my new ceramic carafe for the Aeropress coming soon!

You help keep this small business dream alive when you purchase your gifts or unique finds with TreeBed Design. Even a small transaction (that means little to a big corporation) fuels infinite reverberations in my creative journey and that of my community!

As Summer closes out, it feels good to reflect on a very full season past... I am also excited as I look forward to the Autumn. I am still wrestling with how to honor 20 years of TreeBed Design (in one form or another), but we have lots in the works to make it a beautiful new season to celebrate what TBD has become over the last few years. Thank you for being a part of that (near or far)!

With heaps of gratitude, - Micah/TreeBed Design
