I just dropped off my first supply of jewelry to Modern Mouse, a cute little local gift shop in the South Shore Shopping Center in Alameda. While I was there I had a chance to look around the shop a little. They have a great selection of gift items from jewelry and paper goods to dinosaur hanging racks and many of their items are from local independent designers and makers. I was even able to find a card and birthday gift for a friend.

Modern Mouse and Secession makes two new stores in one week for me. Woohoo! That's a great way to start off the weekend.
