I am officially telling you about this new indie designer market in Brooklyn - more reasons to go shopping in Brooklyn! It is the love child of Kathy Malone of the label fofolle who has dreamed of bringing a space for new designers to show off their creations. And boy did she hit a home run!
Brooklyn Indie Market is the only place you will find Rocks and Salt, the designers of my favorite hat in pink plaid linen. People have emailed before about where to find them, and this is it.Katie James is a member of this inspiring group, but I've been sucked into the website world now that I've left my day job (funny how that happens), so we had to freeze the accessories production budget to focus on developing one thing at a time, and developing it well.
You will find lots of unique goodies. Brooklyn Indie Market is on Smith Street every weekend from now to December. Here's how to get there, complete with map.

I'm going to go down there. Let's see how many Mistas I can pull with me? Come on, girls! Besides, one of the partners of Brooklyn Indie Market, Johanna Resinkoff of DaisyHead Designs is an expert QuickBooks smarty pants in her spare time, so I'm bringing a list of questions that I will slyly ask her because I've spent all of Saturday and Sunday in the lovely database life of QuickBooks...
