Local Supply Store: Juniper Tree

For those who have taken classes from me, I have recommend Juniper Tree in Berkeley as a resource for purchasing supplies for making your products. Just to let you know that will ship to your home.

Plus ask what the current pricing is because their website is not always current with the last pricing.
