What an incredible celebration of culture, community, and connection! 🎉🌮💃

Last weekend, Downtown Windsor came alive for the 3rd Annual Windsor Latino Fest, bringing together residents and visitors from across Sonoma County for an unforgettable day of live entertainment, cultural performances, delicious food, music, and family-friendly fun.

Events like Windsor Latino Fest are a wonderful reflection of the diversity and community spirit that make Windsor, CA such a special place to live, work, visit, and play. We're proud to celebrate the cultures that help make our town so vibrant and welcoming.

A sincere thank you to La Maquina Musical and La Musikera for helping us organize another outstanding event, and to everyone who attended and helped make this year's festival the biggest one yet. Lastly, we want to thank Quivira Vineyards for being our official wine sponsor!

If you missed it this year, be sure to add Windsor Latino Fest to your calendar next summer—you won't want to miss it! 🇲🇽🎶🌺

Do you remember Earthworks at Coddingtown Mall? 💎✨

If you've been in Sonoma County for a while, there's a good chance you remember Earthworks, one of Santa Rosa's most iconic jewelry stores. But did you know there's a special connection between Earthworks and Mark Shimizu Design?

In fact, almost everyone on our team worked there at one point! After taking over from our good friend Steven Stern, Mark Shimizu became the owner of Earthworks' custom design and jewelry repair shop, while Laurie was the office manager. It was at Earthworks where Mark and Laurie first met.

Fast forward nearly 33 years of marriage and over 50 years of Mark creating jewelry, they're now proud owners of Mark Shimizu Design on the Windsor Town Green, where they're continuing the same commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and personalized service that Sonoma County customers have trusted for decades.

Today, we offer:
💍 Custom jewelry design
🔨 Full on-site jewelry repair
💎 Estate and vintage jewelry
✨ Fashion jewelry
🎨 Jewelry from talented local artists

Whether you're looking to create something completely custom, repair a cherished heirloom, or find your next favorite piece, our team is here to help.

Did you ever shop at Earthworks? We'd love to hear your memories! Share them in the comments—we have a feeling this post is going to bring back some nostalgia. ❤️
