Vendors of the Week for the Brooklyn Lyceum’s Spring Food and Craft Market! Erica Rothchild and Anton Nocito are the team behind Pumpkin & Honey Bunny and P&H Soda and Syrup.  It sounded like a cute and sweet name to me, and then I learned that the original Pumpkin & Honey Bunny are the robbers in [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/04/pumpkin-honey-bunny-fizzy-sodas-and-handmade-greeting-cards/feed/ 1 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/04/handmade-limited-edition-hats-from-rocks-and-salt/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/04/handmade-limited-edition-hats-from-rocks-and-salt/#comments Thu, 08 Apr 2010 03:25:16 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=1148
Vendor of the Week for The Brooklyn Lyceum Spring Food and Crafts Market and the Handmade Cavalcade! Rocks and Salt makes cool hats.  It’s almost as simple as that.  But not quite.  These hip, limited edition hats are carefully designed for each season, and each one is painstakingly made by hand, using high quality, unusual fabrics.  [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/04/handmade-limited-edition-hats-from-rocks-and-salt/feed/ 3 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/miss-wits-industrial-light-and-tragic-t-shirt-designs/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/miss-wits-industrial-light-and-tragic-t-shirt-designs/#comments Thu, 01 Apr 2010 03:46:06 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=1054
I can appreciate a good funny t-shirt, except for the fellow I saw actually wearing his “I’m With Stupid” t-shirt in Paris.  (His girlfriend was not amused.)  When I see a really hysterical one, I’m happy to show my appreciation with a loud chuckle.  The cleverest t-shirts I’ve seen in a long time come from [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/miss-wits-industrial-light-and-tragic-t-shirt-designs/feed/ 0 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/markets-of-new-york-city-guidebook-launching-at-the-brooklyn-lyceums-spring-market/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/markets-of-new-york-city-guidebook-launching-at-the-brooklyn-lyceums-spring-market/#comments Mon, 22 Mar 2010 02:04:32 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=829

I bought a whole stack of their great smelling soaps over the holidays at the Makers Market at the Old American Can Factory, thinking I would put them in people’s Christmas stockings. But I didn’t. I used a Black Tea and Honey bar and decided that everyone else would be getting jellybeans. Yes, I totally gave the soaps to myself.]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/meow-meow-tweet-%e2%80%93-vegan-soaps-handmade-in-brooklyn/feed/ 1 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/photo-of-the-day-march-9-2010/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/photo-of-the-day-march-9-2010/#comments Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:46:47 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=725
Nordea Soaperie’s handmade soaps are lovely to use because they smell beautiful and leave my skin feeling great.  We also love her lip balm, which I first saw at the Brooklyn Lyceum’s Holiday Market last December.  These felted soaps are particularly special because they foam right up, and you can use them as a scrubbie.  [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/photo-of-the-day-march-9-2010/feed/ 0 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/inspired-by-yoga-part-1-off-the-mat-soaps-scents-and-sprays/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/inspired-by-yoga-part-1-off-the-mat-soaps-scents-and-sprays/#comments Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:48:07 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=690

Yes, I left some of my shopping until this weekend.  But I totally scored at The Brooklyn Lyceum Holiday Craft Market.  In addition to cupcakes, chocolate, and sandwiches that kept me going, the handmade merchandise was impressive.  The Lyceum is an excellent space for a market, and I heard a lot of people saying [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2009/12/brooklyn-lyceum-holiday-craft-market-%e2%80%93-a-procrastinator%e2%80%99s-paradise/feed/ 3 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2009/12/last-minute-market-shopping/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2009/12/last-minute-market-shopping/#comments Sat, 19 Dec 2009 06:22:48 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=178
