The Stories of Our Local Artisans
Get to know the back stories & inspirations behind participating vendors attending our Mercato this Holiday Season.
Cliko Floral Design
My name is Clemence, I am a French pharmacist passionate about flowers and flower art.
My passion for pressed flower art stemmed in my days in France where I grew up. I was admiring the pink brightness of the Hydrangeas in our garden in Brittany and started to press them to preserve their beautiful color.
3 years ago I moved from Paris to California with my family and I missed flowers I pressed in France so I decided to make herbarium for my house and when I got so many, to sell them!
“Cliko” was the first word pronounced by my son. His father and I were sure he wanted to say “coquelicot” which is the french word for “poppy”!
Luna Reece Ceramics
Andrea’s guiding principle, “happy ceramics = happy spaces,” ensures each piece is infused with vibrant and joyful energy, transforming everyday objects into delightful expressions of art.
Drawing inspiration from her Latina heritage, nature, and mid-century design, Andrea’s work showcases a rich cultural tapestry, imbuing each piece with distinctive charm and authenticity.
Beyond functionality, each ceramic piece is a celebration of life and creativity, bringing warmth and happiness to any space, whether adorning a nook or serving as a centerpiece.
Gelatissimo
Our story began in 2002 where our first store opened in the heart of Sydney, Australia. The word-of-mouth spread and before long, there were queues out the door!
Today, our artisan gelato is made fresh in-store daily, with only the best ingredients. As well as our innovative flavors and indulgent ranges, we’re passionate about providing a range of vegan-friendly, made without dairy, and made without gluten options to suit all – we wouldn’t want you to miss out on a sweet treat with us!
Nat + Nik Soap Design
Handcrafting her first batch of natural cold process soap as graduation gifts for her kindergarteners sparked the founder’s passion for creating artisanal soaps that promote well-being.
Each soap is meticulously handcrafted to be visually captivating, with colors and patterns inspired by art and nature, making each bar a small piece of art for your daily sanctuary.
With a focus on pure and natural ingredients, every soap and lotion is free from harsh chemicals to support healthy skin.
Therapeutic-grade essential oils and phthalate-free fragrance oils are carefully chosen to enhance each product’s purpose—whether energizing, calming, or rejuvenating.
Sanlejur
Sanlejur jewelry was created with you in mind. Sanlejur started with a simple idea and a desire to share with you some of the beautiful things in life.
I seek joy and beauty in whatever life has to offer, and want to share a lit bit of that with all of you! I take the time to chose every single design with nothing but you in mind. I personally curate every collection, piece by piece.
A big dream of mine is to help end human/child trafficking, so we have partnered up with ourrescue.org and with every order you place at Sanlejur a part of that sale will go towards the effort to end child trafficking. So thank you for supporting us, from the bottom of my heart. This really means the world to me.
Sugared & Iced
Hi, my name is Sam. I am the creator, photographer and crazy visionary for all things Sugared & Iced. I hope to make life a little brighter through the dessert and party ideas that live in my head. I am a writer, baker, crafter, party planner, holiday enthusiast and lover of pumpkins.
I have loved baking as long as I can remember and was fortunate to grow up with a mother who took her entertaining seriously. There is no such thing as opening a bag of chips for a few friends over, if there are not enough things in the house for a cheese display — no ones coming over.
Always budget savvy I figured out how to make my own fancy desserts and repurpose the things I needed to give my food and events, big or small, the attention to detail they deserve. This combination has led me to the overzealous baker, entertainer and crafter I am today.
Daily Blooms Farm – Fallbrook

This store is dedicated to our grandmother, Helen Daily. We named it Daily Blooms. We are selling flowers that we are growing at the Daily Ranch and other beautiful items for your home.
