A New Bag For Halston!
Halston over at The Importance of Being (a very entertaining blog) is a very amazing photographer and we did a trade. She took some great photos for me and I got to pay her with a recycled billboard bag. She seems very happy with it! Head over for her blog for some terrific wordsmithing and cool photos!

Liz Made Me a Ring
So Liz made me a felt ring version of my celluloid ring that I wear every day. Check it out! She is so talented!
Artist and Flea Last Saturday

This Saturday was my first day vending at Artists and Fleas. They are primarily a vintage clothing and jewelery market but I am hoping that continuing on there that more people will show up that need kids stuff and we can expand their customer base. Here are some photos of our fun day there and the bracelet I bought from Metal Taboo. I absolutely LOVE her stuff! I also bought a painting from Leroy's Place. She takes thrifted weird boring paintings and prints and draws in monsters! Check out their stuff!
PHOTO OF THE DAY ON MARKETS OF NEW YORK!

Karen Seiger of Markets of New York has nominated yours truly as "Photo of the Day" on the Markets of New York website! Hooray! She stopped by a couple weeks ago and took some photos of my booth!
Her website is awesome and will lead you around the city to check out all the newest and old favorite markets and fairs in the city.

Brooklyn Craft at Aritist and Fleas in Williamsburg Saturday!
"Supercool, superbadass Brooklyn Craft stakes out a claim in Williamsburg this weekend with their wicked and wild take on the afterlife according to socks (below, right). We love when we see something so full of attitude and moxie show up and think you’ll get a kick out of them, too." Saturday, Artist, Designer & Vintage Market, 12-8pm North 6th between Bedford and Berry!

New Organization Bags at Homebody Boutique
These bags are now available at Homebody Boutique in Park Slope. These are round nesting bins. They are also reversible with fabric on one side and vinyl on the other side. They are good for toys, clothes or even a trash bin. Or even take it outside and fill with ice for a portable cooler! They are very light weight and can be folded up to pack and store!

This weekend's Fair
This last weekend at the Hester Street Fair was really fun! It was slow weekend but we made the best of it. I had 2 lobster rolls from Lukes Lobster, and we ate a bunch of ice cream from Phinizy and Phebe. Their maple bacon ice cream is TO DIE FOR!
I had the pleasure of meeting a couple who special ordered a skeleton monkey. They already had one and got another!! I love seeing people who love my stuff. Thanks again guys!!

New stuff at Hester Street This Weekend






This weekend I will be at Hester Street Fair Saturday and Sunday. 10am-6pm.
I will have a more baby-centric selection this weekend. There are SUPER soft plushy elephants and onesies with vicious dinosaurs on them, little fishy onesies and "I'm new here onesies." And whatever I decide to make up tonight and this weekend sewing at the fair. Here are some sneak peaks!

Thanks Patty!




My best friend made me these long anticipated wash clothes. One is for the sink and one is for my face! I'm so exited to use them. The yarn she used is uber soft on my face.

Hester Street Fair This Weekend


Hester Street Fair was such a success this Saturday. It was packed and we sold a ton of stuff. It was the kind of day I wish every fair was like. I think I am starting to get a feel of what to make and sell for Hester Street.

About Me

- Tamonster
- Brooklyn, NY, United States
- I have been an artist my whole life. I have always loved sewing, collage, typography, embroidery and making things pretty. It led me going to college at Pratt Institute and and from there I worked every job imaginable till i found pre-press/graphic design where i am working currently. I hope to one day open up Brooklyn Craft the craft supply store in Brooklyn. A store that's like a craft fair every day. I love sailing and biking and this blog is all about what takes up most of my time, unless of course I am drinking at the bar. Contact me! if you have any comments, questions or anything you'd like to share.
