Crafts in Chelsea Returns!

On Saturday October 20th from 11-4 the Etsy New York Street Team in collaboration with PS 11 returns to Chelsea. This twice-a-year affair spans the length of West 21st Street between 8th and 9th Avenue featuring over a 100 different vendors of exclusively handmade products. Endorsed by Markets of New York as "One of the most dynamic and exciting craft market events of the year," visit the festival to get outfitted with appropriate fall attire like this hat by Birdy 27 Designs:

Since it is never too early to start on your holiday correspondence, you may want to pick up some of these cards by Wishbone Letterpress:

Merry Christmas Dude, Set of 6 Cards

In addition to these unique shopping opportunities, the festival also boasts a bouncy castle and indoor crafts for the kids. This is a benefit for the arts curriculum of PS11, so come out and support our schools!

Ten Days to Go Til Crafts in Chelsea!


For those of you who missed out on last weekend's Spring Handmade Cavalcade, take heart! The Etsy New York team is back in action with even more of our fab makers at the upcoming Crafts in Chelsea Spring Festival. Save the date for Saturday May 19th, from 11 am-4 pm, when Etsy New York artisans will take over West 21st street in Manhattan (between 8th and 9th avenues) for a craft fair benefiting PS 11. This festival is a perfect venue for the whole family, offering up not only beautiful handmade wares, but food and entertainment for the kiddos as well.
