So timely as I currently obsess over re-invigorating the wabisabibrooklyn Etsy shop, Diane at Craftypod interviews Ryan of Littleput Books about marketing as it relates to running an Etsy shop. A must-listen!

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.

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!

We’ve got an eventful weekend planned for ourselves, beginning on Saturday from 10-3 with the Carroll Park Flea Market. On Sunday from 12-6 we’ll be participating in the Atlantic Avenue Art Walk with a trunk show at Artez’n.

Carroll Park is located between Smith and Court Streets and President and Carroll Streets. Take the F or G train to Carroll Street and exit at President Street for easy access to us.

Artez’n is at 444 atlantic ave between Nevins and Bond, close to the Atlantic Avenue subway station.
