Get a unique start on your holiday shopping at the Brooklyn Homeshow, where a diverse group of local artists and designers from the tri-state area will showcase their handmade goods at a Park Slope apartment.
The Brooklyn Homeshow will take place Saturday, October 24, 2009, from 11 am to 6 pm, at 162 16th St. in Brooklyn, New York. The event’s website is: http://freewebs.com/bkhomeshow.
Shoppers are bound to find something for everyone (including themselves!) at this intimate shopping event. Bath and beauty products, bright modern jewelry, photography, and organic children’s clothes are among the diverse range of goods available. Those wishing to send a holiday greeting will have a choice between minimalist collage art cards, gocco stationery, and beautiful photographic cards. And those who are preparing for the upcoming cold, a variety of felted scarves and accessories await you.
All goods are 100% original and handmade.

First debuted in March 2008, the Brooklyn Homeshow is run by a group of sellers from the Brooklyn-based website Etsy.com, which is an online marketplace for handmade goods. One of the goals of the Homeshow is to support conscious consumerism by encouraging the purchase of locally-made goods.
