After a rough couple of weeks between hurricane Sandy and a Nor’Easter to follow, I finally can report some great things happening this week in Brooklyn—besides it going from snowy to sunny and 60’s this weekend!
I am debuting my new design for etc… (these skinny stackable bracelets handmade from vintage watchbands, $30 each, pictured above) at a trunk show featuring all of my current collection:
SATURDAY, November 10th
12 – 5pm
10% of each purchase will go to RESTORE RED HOOK
benefitting the businesses in Red Hook, Brooklyn that were devastated by the storm.
Red Hook’s Ikea is back in business but a lot of that area is still hurting—especially the smaller shops/restaurants/companies/factories/galleries/studios/designers that make a lot of the products you love—and can no longer function or may have lost everything due to the flooding of hurricane Sandy.
These businesses will have NO assistance other than what outsiders can give (FEMA primarily helps homeowners, and flood insurance is virtually unavailable in this neighborhood).
Please join me in saving my neighboring small businesses in one of the last artist/artisan communities NYC that needs so much help restoring it.
If you can’t make it on Saturday, you can contact info@bybrooklyn.com to order one of these bracelets or anything else from etc… and 10% can still be donated with your purchase!
