What do you get when local artists, designers and crafters -- all of whom are sellers on the handmade marketplace Etsy -- put their heads together?
You get a one-day shopping bonanza called the Brooklyn Home Show. The event highlights artists not just from Brooklyn, but from the surrounding areas as well.
Pick up some great indie finds, including handmade invitations, cards, collage, all-natural soaps, intricately crocheted hats and scarves, photography, animal posters, jewelry, screen-printed apparel, hand bags and dresses.
When: March 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: 248 11th Street, corner of 11th St. and 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY
