Brooklyn Handmade Boutique Closing!

Do you ever dream of a handmade shop? Say a handmade shop that sold all things from Etsy? A shop that you could hold Etsy items you've been coveting, in your own two hands? Well this place ACTUALLY existed!




But alas, it will be no more. This Sunday 4pm - 8pm, Fact and Fancy (75B Hoyt St. Brooklyn, NY 11201), run by the amazingly talented Daniellexo, is having its closing party. I've heard rumors of door prizes and HOT TODDIES, ladies and gentlemen. So your name on the guest list is a MUST!!





I hope to see some of you there! Please give a holler if you plan to come and we can coordinate times so we can all meet! WOO HOO!

Time To Vote Again!

What are we voting for now?? Why it's the....

The {NewNew} wants to spread the word that Etsy's blog, The Storque has been nominated for a 2009 Bloggie in the Art/Craft/Design Blog Category. The Storque is a great source of information with featured columns showcasing sellers, buyers, tutorials, reviews, and much much more.

The folks at Etsy have been a *huge* support for The {NewNew} team through our events, attending team meetings, and engaging in discussion on how to make Etsy better for sellers, buyers, and teams. I'm sure many other teams could say the same about the support they have received from Etsy. They're up against other popular sites like Apartment Therapy and PostSecret so the competition is stiff!

Voting ends 10PM EST February 2, 2009!

Her love for creating jewelry started when she was 10 years old and watched her dad transform chunks of silver and amber in most amazing pieces of jewelry. She loved helping him by doing simple soldering, polishing or prep work. After years of not having anything to do with jewelry making, she dusted
off her interest in designing 2 years ago. She's having the time of her life and loves every piece of jewelry she creates and hopes that you will like it too
