Spring Color in NYC

Spring has arrived in NYC (yay!), and with it comes a lush bounty of colors popping up all over the city. As no other time of the year is quite so magical (both weather and color-wise), I couldn't resist taking a stroll with my camera the other day to capture the blooming foliage that seems to get brighter and more beautiful with each passing day.

And I'm sure it's no coincidence that many NewNew team members are taking a cue from the colors of the season with their latest offerings. So with that, I'd love to share some of my favorite items that pick up the colors I captured with my camera on that lovely neighborhood stroll. Enjoy!

New New Talks Shop

NewNew Etsy Team Event

Recently the NewNew Team got together at Lorrie of Lenny Mud's studio to paint some pottery and talk shop.  Lorrie gave a great talk about simple, actionable steps we could take everyday to improve our shop visibility and SEO, search engine optimization.  This stuff can be daunting to learn, but Lorrie broke it down and we managed to have fun too!

This is why I love the NewNew so much - as a creative handmade business lady it can be overwhelming juggling everything, so it's great to have people who are eager to share their knowledge, and a group that supports each other.  It was great to sip some red wine, learn a bit and meet some new people!

Thank you Lorrie for the talk and my NewNew team!

From Ghoulies & Ghoosties

Halloween and The {NewNew}

"From Ghoulies and ghoosties, long leggety beasties and things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!"

I found this "Quaint Old Litany" in the opening of an ancient book I have called "The Magic Casement", an anthology of English fairy poetry and plays assembled by Alfred Noyes.

Well, The {NewNew} has plenty of ghoulies, ghoosties and long leggety beasties that we would love to deliver to you!

Beach Trip with The {New New}

Summer is upon us and it's time to head out of your stuffy third floor apartment with no air conditioning and toward the beach. Here are some {New New} picks to enjoy while tripping for the day or overnight.


A lovely Swarovski crystal starfish necklace crafted by mulry jewels is the perfect thing to announce your beach intentions.


Some frocks and trousers soap by charlie and sarah would look right at home on the sand.


This cotton baby beach hat from NYCrochet will make protection from the sun adorable.


The argyle caps tote bag by bungaloe can be used for a day trip or take it for a quick overnight.


A soy travel candle by Dew On A Petal Home scented with lavender and basil is the perfect thing to set out on your beach house balcony while you enjoy the cool breeze.
