The silver snail shell ring pictured caught my eye this week at the Independent Designer Pop Shop (ID Pop Shop). This round, shiny beauty is a great work of creativity and craftsmanship, as are all Kimberlin’s designs. It reminds me of summer at the beach.
Come meet Kimberlin and appreciate her designs in person at the ID Pop Shop in Chelsea Market through Sunday, August 19.
And here are my Weekend Market Picks!
Saturday, August 18, 2012
Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket: This market is a flagship Greenmarket in Brooklyn. With over 30 farmers, bakeries, and fishmongers, plus wines, syrups and honeys, this market is lively all day long. They have wonderful cooking demos as well as weekly textile recycling and compost collection. Check the site for special events. 8:00AM – 3:00PM, Prospect Park West and Flatbush Ave., the Northwest Corner of Prospect Park, Brooklyn
Hester Street Fair and Hester Indie Craft Market in LA: Hester Street is bi-coastal! Visit the artisan, flea and food market on the Lower East Side or the new artisan and food market in Hollywood, CA! 10AM – 6PM, Hester & Essex Streets, Manhattan / 11AM – 7PM, Hollywood Blvd. and Argyle Ave., Hollywood
Morningside Park Farmers Market: Run by the Community Markets organization, this market features a really great mix of produce and products, including chutney, frozen soups, fair trade coffee beans, cured meats, and more, including seriously mouthwatering Mortgage Apple Cakes. 9:30AM – 5PM,
110th St. & Manhattan Ave., Manhattan
Washington Avenue Rocks & Street Fair: I haven’t been to this event, but the lineup of music, dance food looks outstanding, as well as the long list of vendors, including fashion, jewelry, food and more. If you’ve been to this event, please leave a comment and let us know what to expect! 12PM – 6PM, Prospect Pl. & St. Marks Ave., Brooklyn
Saturday, August 18 & Sunday, August 19, 2012
Independent Designer Pop Shop in Chelsea Market: They’re back! This outstanding group of New York designers is showing their innovative styles in the Chelsea Market event space. Make sure you take the time to look at every display and talk to the designers. If you love fashion and design, do not miss this event! It only runs through Sunday, so buy everything you like. 10:30AM to 7:30PM, 75 Ninth Avenue, Manhattan
Park Slope Flea Market: I love wandering around this market because it has a nice collection of flea and vintage items. I’ve seen furniture, mirrors, antique lace, vintage clothing, tiny collectibles and much more. There is always something new to see at this market, and it’s just a short walk from the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket on Saturdays! 9AM – 5PM, 7th Avenue between 1st and 2nd Streets, Brooklyn
I don’t want to hear anyone talking about how summer is slipping away. Just get out there, wander through the city, and enjoy the weekend!
