Craft Fair at Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden!
This Saturday April 4th is the first day of the year that the Bohemian Beer Hall in Astoria will open their outdoor area! And what would make a more perfect Saturday than a cold beer, some delicious goulash, and an awesome craft fair! I’ll be selling my wares with other local artists from 1 to 4:00 inside the Beer Hall. Come check it out!
A mention in Time Out New York!! Hooray!
Pictures of my work are featured in this week’s Time Out New York Magazine, and on their website! Yay! Here’s the text from the online article:
For the DIYers who never leave Williamsburg
There’s more to the Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden than booze this opening weekend. Splurge on indie goods at its inaugural Spring Flea Market (29-19 24th Ave at 29th St, Astoria, Queens; 718-274-4925; 1–4pm, free), benefiting DA Sokol, a space that offers low-cost gymnastics to Queens kids. Organizer Jessica Bardy has assembled a diverse collection of artists for it, including Anne Messley, who makes stuff out of felt, and jewelry designer Felicity Stiverson (work pictured).
My Vintage Beaded Nile Necklace is featured in the print magazine, and my Marseille Necklace is featured online!

Thanks Time Out New York! Woo hoo!
New Etsy banner – woot!
My fantastic and crafty husband just designed me a new banner for my Etsy shop – I think it’s a big upgrade from my old one, and captures the colors and vintage beads that I use so much in my designs! Here’s a little piece of it:
The Brooklyn Flea – Dumbo Edition!
This Saturday, March 14, I’ll be selling with fellow {New New} York Etsy Street Team members at the Brooklyn Flea in Dumbo. It’ll be my third time selling there in the past month or so, and if you’re in the neighborhood, you should stop by and check out all the cool antique sellers and other handmade vendors – and especially the awesome food vendors, like the famous Papusa guy! And I’ve heard a rumor that the equally famous Red Hood Taco Guys will be there this weekend!! Tacos, papusas, and cool handmade stuff – sounds like a good Saturday to me!

Rub a dub dub
I started using handmade soap a few months ago, and now that I’ve started using it I’m totally obsessed. I just hit 100 sales on Etsy today (someone bought 5 necklace from me last night – woot woot!) and I’m tempted to reward myself with some delectable handmade soap from some awesome Etsy sellers. Specifically, I’ve been eying soaps that look and sound edible – Coconut Mochi? Fig and Black Pepper? Delicious!! Here are some soaps that I’m dying to try:
Mint Chip Ice Cream Soap from EpicallyEpicSoap
Black Pepper Fig Soap by FlourishBathBody
Coconut Mochi Soap by Savor - Yum!!!
The Poor Boy Beer Soap by Dennisanderson - I'm getting thirsty just looking at it 
The NewNew has a NewNew website! :)
The NewNew York Etsy street team, of which I am a proud member, has proudly unveiled their new website today! There are awesome how-to posts, info on upcoming events, and a link to the ever-popular NewNew blog! Ch-ch-check it out:
Vintage bead-mania
So I’ve been on a tear creating new necklaces from the amazing vintage beads I’ve been amassing lately. Here are a few of my newest designs – I already sold the South Beach necklace over the weekend at the Valentine’s craft fair (which was kind of a bust, but at least it was abnormally warm out, since we ended up vending OUTSIDE! It’s February in NYC!! Geez!) I’m going to be crafting up many more designs this week, since I’ll be vending at the indoor Brooklyn Flea this Saturday in DUMBO! Yee haw!

Getting into the swing of things . . .
After a well-deserved month off after the holiday rush, I’ll be doing my first sale in 2009 this Saturday the 7th at the Secondary School for Research’s Valentine’s Craft Fair in Park Slope. There will be craft and flea market vendors (including several of my fellow New New York Etsy Street Team peeps!) and a bake sale – and hey, it’s supposed to get up to 50 degrees outside this weekend, so if you’re in the NYC area, come on by!
Workin workin workin’ . . .
Been busy adding lots of new items to my Etsy site, and I just got some more amazing vintage beads that I’ve been madly crafting into new creations! Here’s the latest addition to my shop:
My new Sea at Twilight Earrings!
A new year, a new post!
Okay, okay, time to get back on the horse and post something to this blog already! Having made it through the holiday craziness, I’m finally reordering supplies like a madwoman today and trying to get my Etsy shop back in order. And I designed a new pair of earrings, and made two pairs, one of which I gave myself as a birthday present and wore out on the town New Year’s Eve! I like to call them my Cold as Ice earrings, in tribute to this icy month of January:
