Needles & Pens wins our Merchant Contest
We are pleased to announce our winning merchant... Needles & Pens – a self-described "emporium of zines, d.i.y. goods, and an art gallery. Located in the Mission district, the space aims to provide an affordable place where like minded people from the community can display and sell their own home-made goods, home-published zines, and art work. The items we stock are predominately recycled, silk screened, cut-up, re-sewn, photocopied, hand-made, and hand-published."
Congratulations to Amal Murgian, who is the winner of the Apple iPad!
Thanks to all of the amazing San Francisco merchants and readers for participating in our contest. Watch for future contests and giveaways!
