Tweaking the Display

11

While leaps and bounds ahead of the early days, I’m still perfecting my booth display. Thanks to Nathan at The Market at the OA Can Facotory for working with my motley assortment of backgrounds and creating a more cohesive look.

The Market at the OA Can Factory will be back in action Sunday July 26. I’ll be attending my sister’s wedding and then travelling for much of the rest of the summer, but I’ll be back there about once a month starting September 13.

Summer time sales at Wabisabi Brooklyn this weekend! Buy any item and get another of equal or lesser value FREE! (Offer good in person only, not for online sales).

Saturday 11-7 Brooklyn Indie Market. Smith Street near President, under the tent.

It’s around the corner from where we live now in Carroll Gardens.

Here I am gazing wistfully out the window, thinking of the day MORE THAN A YEAR FROM NOW (long story) when we’ll get to move in.

We DO however get to start paying the mortgage a lot sooner than that.
