I was doing some holiday shopping at the Bust Magazine Holiday Craftacular in NYC on Sunday when I came across a vendor who was selling these embellished fingerless gloves using Generation T iron-on letters! Karen Holley (of Artist & Fleas) designed these bad boys using red and black ransom letters to spell sentiments like “Live Hard,” “Don’t Care,” “Love Hate,” and my personal fave, “Broo-klyn.” See, it’s not all about the T-shirts all the time (just mostly, and most of the time!).
‘Tis the holiday season, which means holiday craft fairs. If you’re not making gifts yourself, might I recommend shopping handmade? If you’re in the NYC area, and if you missed the Handmade Cavalcade or the Martha Stewart Holiday Craft Fair or the Craftacular last weekend (mark your calendars for next year!)… you can still hit up the Handmade Holiday Craft Fair at 3rd Ward in Brooklyn this Saturday from 12-6 pm or the Brooklyn Flea pop-up shop, Gifted, or…or the Brooklyn Lyceum Holiday Craft Fair on December 19 and 20! Take a look around the web to find what crafty goodness is in your neck of the woods this holiday season.
