The {NewNew} gets a new look!

Wow, that's a mouthful! This summer, the {NewNew} has gotten a face lift. We asked the most talented people we know - our members - to interpret what the team means and to design a logo that reflects those sentiments for us to use in all of our promotional materials, website and social networks. After weeks of anticipation, I couldn't of been more pleased with the submissions that showed up in my inbox! Thank you all who participated! Take a look at what our members came up with:

Submissions by Kerry from K Batty Design and Stationary, Ami from Ami Nyitray Designs, and Jacqueline from ChealseaRainbow. Click the logos to see who designed it!


And, our Winner! Designed by the very talented Courtney Webb of webbedware. We're so proud at how the {NewNew} is represented!


Which one is your favorite?

Cary who is the artist behind littleloveblue is self taught artist, and full time mother, living in Brooklyn, NY. She grew up in a family full of artists and crafters but some how never learned how to sew. In college and graduate school she majored in Women's Studies and Film and was very interested in the history of women's artistic and creative endeavors, but it wasn’t until she was an adult and had her own children that she sought out a means to express her own creativity. She has become very interested in the history of traditional crafting, and choose to sew almost entirely by hand using only natural materials. Through her work, she strives to find beauty in simplicity, in the things we often over look in our busy lives.

Brand {New New} Monday giveaway - Plus last weeks winers!



This week is the second week of of many Monday Giveaways. Each and Every Monday Stop by to enter to win something fabulous from members of The {NewNew} York Etsy team. This Monday we are proudly giving away a velvet appliqued
Canvas Tote Bag - from our very own KimmChi.

This great one-of-a-kind totebag is made from
a quality American apparel tote bag, and measures approximately 15" X 13" X 31/2" and is made from heavy weight bull denim woven cotton. It is decorated with whimsical bubbles in orange velvet that have been appliqued on to the bag.Perfect for going green and choosing cloth over plastic for those groceries.

Kimm is a native New Yorker, born and raised in the Bronx, and now living in Brooklyn. As a child she wanted to be a fashion designer and spent hours drawing clothing and attempting to make her own. Her parents were very supportive and let her out of the house in all of her creations (which often were sewn on as she could never get the hang of sewing in zippers and buttons!) As she got older she drifted away from fashion, more towards graphic design. KimmChi merges the two interests, and she can get back into working with clothing and accessories in a tactile way and silkscreening or appliquing graphic elements on to apparel (without having to put in zippers!).

How to Enter:
1. To enter to win, tell the world why you want this great tote bag. 
Post about your love of this bag and kimmchi on Myspace, Facebook, livejournal, wordpress, blogger, or your own personal blog or website.
2. Post a link to your personal post right here in the comments section.
3. Entries can be submitted through 10pm Saturday, September 13th, 2008.
4. Winners will be selected randomly and will be announced the following Monday with the New contest item.
