Our Spring Handmade Cavalcade is This Saturday!

Lovers of all things local and handmade are headed to the performance venue Littlefield in Brooklyn’s Gowanus neighborhood this Saturday, for the Etsy New York Team’s fourth annual Spring Handmade Cavalcade.  Shoppers can load up on clothing, jewelry, accessories, paper goods, bath and body treasures, toys, housewares and more, all handmade by some of the most creative local artisans and crafters in the NYC metropolitan area.  Hang out and celebrate Cinco de Mayo with our  “Cavalcade Cocktail” from your Littlefield bartender, being served specially for this event.

All are encouraged to arrive early, for the first 100 shoppers will receive an amazing goodie bag packed with a unique sampling of handmade wares from members of Etsy New York and local small businesses sponsoring the event.  With each purchase, shoppers will also receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win one of three Etsy New York prize packages, filled with handmade donations from our talented members.
