Painting the Town Red


Artists & Fleas has created a unique exterior for their Chelsea Market pop-up shop, by choosing a bright palette of tomato with blue and yellow, painted by a crafty Brooklyn duo. The hand lettering of the signage, which repeats on panels wrapping the corner of 15th and tenth, has a retro feel to it, a bit like a traveling circus.

Artists & Fleas at Chelsea Market is located on the corner of 15th and Tenth, and is open 7 days a week, 10-7pm.

It's a Wrap





Here are some lovely pics from the silk accessory collaboration between Ashdel Handmade and Handmade On Peconic Bay. Ashley Delose, a talented textile artisan, noticed the potential in my husband Matt's cyanotype and Van Dyke brown printed silk seconds, and fashioned them into something decidedly a first! See her Ashdel Handmade collection on Etsy, made entirely from vintage and recycled textiles.
