Dear Shopping Wizard,

You are invited to save the weekend of December 13 -14, 2014 for Holiday shopping at the Holiday Handmade Cavalcade at Chelsea Market!

Seven is a magical number and we promise you magic when you shop unique, creative, handmade gifts while supporting local small businesses at the seventh annual Etsy NY Street Team Holiday Handmade Cavalcade! The collective of local artists, designers and makers who sell their handmade goods on the online marketplace Etsy.com will help shoppers find the perfect, thoughtful gift for even the most discerning recipient on their list.

Located in Chelsea Market, between the hours of 10am to 8pm both days, you can shop unique wares including clothing, jewelry, accessories, paper goods, body products, and more from 62 different indie vendors all based in the tri-state area! Not to mention, considered the gourmet food destination, Chelsea Market is located at 75 Ninth Avenue between 15th and 16th Street, just steps away from New York’s famous High Line Park. You can make an entire day of shopping, eating, and walking around one of New York’s gorgeous Parks during the Holiday season with friends, family, visitors, or your loved ones.

Doors will open at 10am both Saturday and Sunday, but you'll want to make sure you get in line early because the first 100 shoppers that arrive on each day will receive a goody bag filled with products and discounts donated by participating vendors and they are always a huge hit with the crowd. Several raffle packages will be up for grabs and Cavalcade sponsor Etsy will be on hand to offer free gift wrapping for any purchases made at the event. Kiva Zip will also serve as sponsor and shoppers will have the opportunity to give back to their community by donating gently used coats for the New York Cares 26th Annual Coat Drive.

Admission to this event is free. For more information about the Etsy NY Team's Holiday Handmade Cavalcade, visit www.handmadecavalcade.com.

We look forward to seeing you at December 13th and 14th and are excited to be part of your Holiday Season!

Warm, magical wishes for you and yours,

The Etsy NY Street Team
