We had a wonderful time being at the One of a Kind Show and Sale in New York, this past weekend. We made a lot of buttons and a lot of friends.

At our pre-show party, we had great fun at Spacecraft making bags with Bags for the People and sampling some great home brewed beer from Brooklyn Brews.

At the Make Something Awesome Area we crafted our little hearts out. We made cup glove kits from Glue and Glitter, embroidered fun patterns from Sublime Stitching and created some fun felt projects from STC Craft.

Our button maker was a big hit all weekend, with our new friends stretching their creative muscles by finding the most amazing images that just needed to be made into badges. One seller loriMetals, used her own imagery to make buttons, then displayed them along with her fun and quirky jewelry for the rest of the show.

We gave a talk on the benefits of buying handmade goods, emphasizing the social and environmental good that comes from buying direct from an artisan.

Taking our own advice, we wondered the show floor in search of unique gifts, ending up finding more for ourselves than others. Oops!

We hope you enjoyed the One of a Kind Show in New York as much as we did. You can take a look over at our Flickr page for more fun photos from the weekend.
