Upstate Fancy included me in her artist inspiration series this week.
Idealbite has a nice little write-up that focuses on the recycled elements I use in my designs. (Click on thumbnail to enlarge).

Meagan Whiteley for featured my Brooklyn Bridge on a Nickel necklace in her groovy blog, Fancy Island.
As part of the {New New} Etsy street team, I participated in the Sampler’s table at the MTV Movie Awards Style Lounge. I’m not sure which glitterati got their hands on the nickel neckalces, rings, and wabisabi brooklyn special giveaway totes that I contributed, but I don’t be surprised if you see Dina Lohan’s assistant rocking some wabisabi bling in the near future!
Got a mention in Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn today! Almost makes my Brooklyn Flea-earned sore throat seem worth it!

I am thrilled and delighted to be this month’s Brooklyn Indie Market featured designer!
I am finally done feeling dizzy from the excitement of getting an email from a Martha Stewart Magazine staffer yesterday. It seems in working on a wedding story, she Googled “Brooklyn Cufflinks,” (try it!) and got to a post I wrote in summer 2007 about cufflinks.
So she is sending a messenger to my day job tomorrow to pick up a package to photograph.
Needless to say, I rushed home after work yesterday and started a batch of fresh cuff links to choose from.
TONIGHT: The finishing touches, packaging, and product selection. And perhaps a quick re-write of the press release!
Pictures to follow…

Lot’s of news today.
First, Diane from CraftyPod interviewed me for the September 21 show. I am a big fan of CraftyPod and was really excited to talk to Diane.
Next, I brought Tom at Mongo more of our cuff links. I asked him for the story behind the shop’s name, and he told me the NYC Sanitation Department refers to the good stuff people throw away as “mongo”. He talked about how finding the beauty and usefulness in what someone else might discard (he pointed out a couple of gorgeous fixtures in the shop that he rescued to illustrate his point) is to him the essence of Brooklyn life. Word.
As if that weren’t enough excitement for one day, I headed over to the fabulous artez’n where Jessica was excited about the cufflinks, the nickel necklaces, and the penny earrings. She remarked about the steep learning curve we’d climbed in just three short months, as evidenced by our finer finishes and more professional looking pieces.
There is a lovely write up about wabisabi brooklyn on the Etsy Trashion Blog . We are, of course, pleased as punch both about the interview and about being members of the Etsy Trashion Street team. Go Trashion!
Dino Ray Ramos had some very nice things to say about wabisabi brooklyn the other day in his column “Dressed”. We are beside ourselves with delight!
The Sampler is just the gift that keeps on giving. Both Diane at CraftyPod and Jen at Indie Fixx gave us a shout on their sites. Hooray!
In other good news, a selection of wabisabi brooklyn jewelry will be available at the new boutique – called MONGO – that just opened at 246 Smith Street near Degraw in Brooklyn.
Hurray!
