Craft Fair Craziness

This weekend was the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn's McCarren Park. I was a little concerned about the fair being moved to the park - it is usually in the old McCarren Pool - where we would be so spread apart and out in the open, but it ended up being AWESOME! I cannot believe how many people came out for the fair. Like, insane amounts of people...and I live in NYC so we're talking like bajillions.

Fairs are interesting because every time there is one items that sells way more than anything else at my booth. This time it was my new pillows! This was very validating and confidence-building because I put in a lot of time to sew 20+ pillows. I imagined a table filled with a rainbow of pillows and it totally came out the way I had it in my head.

I'll have a whole slew of new items appearing in my shop now that I have this fair behind me and new products customer-approved. In the meantime, if you saw anything at the fair that you'd like to purchase and it's not in my shop, just send me an email: ryan [at] ryangreendesigns [dot] com.

Thanks to all my friends who came to hang out with me at Abe at the booth - and thanks to all the wonderful people that bought items from me, said nice things, took a card, or passed along my info to another friend!!!

Crafts at the ETSY Labs

Come make snow globes with me!



On Monday, December 15th, I will be at the ETSY Labs in Brooklyn, NY from 4-7pm and teaching a lesson on making snow globes! You don't have to come for the whole time, but leave yourself an hour in order to complete a snow globe.

Most of the supplies will be provided - just bring a smooth, clean, label & glue-free glass jar (pickle and applesauce jars are great).

More details and directions to the ETSY Labs can be found here: ETSY Labs Craft Night

* And if you don't live in NYC don't fret! Each craft night is also broadcast live into in the Treehouse room of the Virtual Labs. All demos will be shown both in the Labs in Brooklyn and in the Treehouse online.
