Dawne Hornung of
Coastal Dawne creates unique, handmade pieces using natural surfaces such as seashells and time-honored techniques like decoupage and gilding. Dawne has lived on the coast for over 30 years and has been in the craft business as well.
Haven Lund, Dreamy Glass Studio
Haven Lund is a stained glass artist based near La Honda in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Dreamy Glass Studio was created in January 2020 when Haven taught herself the stained glass craft and has grown to include fused glass. Her designs are whimsical and inspired by nature, using bright colors and textured glass.
Michelle Trumpler, HUMBA Supply Co.
"Humba" is a local slang word for Half Moon Bay but to
Michelle Trumpler of
HUMBA Supply Co. it’s also an amazing feeling. Born and raised on the coastside, she takes inspiration for their coastal streetwear lines of hats, t-shirts, and sweatshirts from familiar elements of the Half Moon Bay coastside.
Marilyn Johnson
Owner and jam-chef
Marilyn Johnson comes from a family of farmers, so she knows how to source high quality, local, organic ingredients for her
Spread The Love Jams and Jellies. By shopping and foraging locally, Marilyn captures the bounty of the region in her products as she highlights some of the best of what we grow here.
Jan and Jenny, LeighLee's Garden
Two retired educators, as well as high school "besties,"
Jan and Jenny created
LeighLee's Garden (a conflation of their middle names) less than two years ago. Upon seeing so many smiles from adults and children alike as they viewed their birdhouses, Jan and Jenny knew they were onto something special. With their new release from rigid bell schedules and stacks of papers to grade, Jan and Jenny now embrace their newfound passion for creating whimsical beauty. Nothing soothes the soul more than artistic innovation, so they have learned. Their many-themed, one-of-a-kind, reclaimed wood birdhouses are created and designed with materials foraged from Mother Nature as well as quirky, recycled finds located throughout the community (and some power tools, of course). If you don't see your unique fantasy, no worries: LeighLee's Garden can create a special house just for you with a special order. They have expanded their garden theme to include a variety of vintage cups/containers with succulents from their greenhouse gardens. Follow Jan and Jenny on

Bryan and Lisa McClaine, Fire Creek Forge
Bryan McClaine spent many of his younger years as a snowboard pioneer in Tahoe and Mammoth and then as a commercial fisherman and dog musher in Homer, Alaska. He has been an inventor, creator, maker and artist since childhood. He has always made handles for knives and designed many a blade, but after several years working at the Half Moon Bay Feed and Fuel, and then COVID hit, he had an opportunity to "forge" out on his own and began creating his own blades from start to finish. Bryan customized his home workshop into a bladesmithing forge and, after battling the CZU Lightning Complex Fires in 2020, created the name
Fire Creek Forge (FCF) as he fought the flames coming down the creek by his house.
Bryan currently lives in La Honda with his wife, Lisa, who helps with the business’s website, Instagram and marketing, and their Australian cattledogs, Ruger, Blue and Coyote.
FCF creates one-of-a-kind custom made blades. Steel used in the blades is 5160 spring steel reclaimed from the leaf springs of trucks. Handles are naturally shed elk antler sourced from the Pacific Northwest. FCF creates culinary blades and blades used for the outdoors. The blades are meant to be used, will last for generations, and are a combination of function and beauty.
