Earth Day Celebrations around Brooklyn

Ah Earthday.... there are so many great celebrations going on around the city where you can learn more about the environment and what you can do. The accompanying photo is an Art Photograph by Ania of Honorata.

If you're in the Greenpoint/ Williamsburg / Bushwick area, head on over to McCarren Park for North Brookyn's first ever Earth Day Celebration, Go Green! Go Greenpoint! on Saturday April 19 from 11 to 4pm. They'll have educational programs, recycling stations, contests, live music, and a market full of eco-friendly products, where our own CharlieAndSarah will be selling their fun line of English inspired gear for adults and children.

If you're in The Park Slope, Red Hook, Fort Greene section of Brooklyn, head on over to the Old Stone House on May 17th for the Park Slope Parents Association Eco Fest at the Old Stone House on 5th Avenue btw 3rd and 4th Streets. Kathy aka Fofolle will be there running a Monster Making workshop with some material donated by fellow {NewNew} members. There will also be 10 Green Designers vending at the event.

Connecticut Team at the Brooklyn Homeshow

Woooo! It has been quite an afternoon! I have been a busy little beaver, working on all sorts of exciting new projects. One of them being my table display for the Brooklyn Home Show! I think if I were any more excited about this I'd wet myself.
Aside from being a devoted member of the {NewNew} York Etsy Street Team, I am also team leader of the CT Team. So my little fantasy is to have these teams work in conjunction with each other. One big happy Etsy Team family! In my efforts to do that, I have offered the CT team my table to display some of their handiwork at this upcoming event, as well as my own. It took a lot of blood sweat and tears, but I think I am finally getting somewhere with this.
I have included some pictures as a sneak peek of what my table will offer! But by all means stop by the show! The ladies on this New York team are incredibly talented and saavy crafters! I am constantly inspired to make my work better. So stop in and say hello! We'd love to see you there! (More details are available at http://www.freewebs.com/bkhomeshow)
