MANY THANKS!... and Brooklyn, here we come!

MANY MANY THANKS to everyone who came out this past Sunday to Jersey City's PADNA BBQ & Street Fair. Despite the sunshowers, it was a great day full of bubbles, balloons, bright smiles, old friends, new friends, dancey tunes and LOTS of little rockstars! Dinna and I thank you for the love! Most of all, thanks to Andrea for inviting us to all the fun!

And... NO WE DON'T STOP!

Join us this Saturday 7/17 in Brooklyn as we're a part of Kidding Around @ Brooklyn Indie Market! Find the big red & white tent on Smith Street between President & Union in Carroll Gardens--that's where ALL magic happens! We'll be there, along with other talented local vendors, artists and designers, all specializing in handmade style for kids--from tots to tweens. There will be a children's book swap--so bring a book to trade. Also joining us will be Starting Artists, an awesome organization dedicated to bringing hands-on art and entrepreneurial skills to students thru enriching afterschool and vacation programs.

So as you can see--it's all about the kids. They totally rock. But you already knew that!

Hope to see you there! :)

worth skipping dinner for: holey cream

Last Friday was National Doughnut Day... and Team Dessert (me & fellow foodie @katallarde) was hard at play at Holey Cream in Hell's Kitchen. Combine 2 of my favorite things and what do you get?

DOUGHNUT ICE CREAM SANDWICH!

...and throw in a hot fudge sundae on the side.

Holey moley... oh my goodness.

Just go.

the power of the tee...

There are several reasons I make t-shirts. They can be bold. They can have words. They can have pictures. They can make statements. They simply feel and look good.
