It's my yearly shopping extravaganza, except no money is exchanged -- usually. However, this year, I did, in fact, buy a pair of leather Marc Jacobs gloves from another swapper who'd found them. But it was a small price to pay for the suitcase full of clothing I took out of there. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Swapping is a great way to benefit the planet, and you don't have to stop at clothes. You can swap baby furniture (or adult furniture), books, CDs, bric-a-brac, dishes, art, food & recipes, and so much more. It's a simple concept, really, and it costs almost no money to produce a swap. If you don't have the space in your or a friend's home, often times a bar or local venue will offer the space in exchange for people buying drinks or paying a small cover. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">For more interest about the Swap-A-Palooza or an update next year, join my </span></span><a href="http://www.jessicadelfino.com"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">mailing list</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> or visit </span></span><a href="http://www.nonsensenyc.com"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">www.nonsensenyc.com</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">, who usually lists the event. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I'd also like to share an art opening called, "Art from Detritus: Upcycling with Imagination" which takes place at the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center, or </span></span><a href="http://www.wahcenter.com"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">WAH</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">, April 23rd - May 29 at 135 Broadway, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

In my humble opinion, dollar stores mostly suck but they have their merits.

</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">We were delighted to see <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/21-Things-You-Should-Never-usnews-2356162080.html?x=0">this article</a> today on Yahoo.com about 21 things to never buy new. The list includes CDs, jewelry and more, and we couldn't be more in agreement. Part of Craftermath's goal is to encourage people to reuse, recycle and reduce. Many of our crafts are made from reused materials -- even (our own, cleaned) garbage! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We hope this article will help you to lessen your footprint. Buying new things can be a nice feeling, but it is simply not efficient for modern society, with the population what it is. When we discard old things, they fill landfills and spend fuel to get taken to the landfills. If we don't start taking that into consideration, one day our entire planet will be one huge land fill! Do you want to live on top of a landfill? Probably not, right? OK then, so buy things reused and encourage friends to do the same!</div>Yours Trulyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14800757917548330883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338378205245885739.post-25359348861762015242010-04-30T16:05:00.000-07:002010-05-01T12:36:02.057-07:00CRAFTERMATH's New Wednesday: punk crafts, film shorts, & subversive song! 5/5, 7 til 9pmish<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg37XuhM7pyVbkr5gDTJ2k3V3MQkqwxaE2Cfthwegw4MMQXsG1m4_EvbpAx5gYViG8pZCViCxpqcNv-78CqCVcUXtrBQbwSzZX1UuK7_gqitttDsA9Br0Rm-AO88z4MWcUJmSBGD_HsMAe5/s1600/craftermath+5-5.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466082896684983234" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg37XuhM7pyVbkr5gDTJ2k3V3MQkqwxaE2Cfthwegw4MMQXsG1m4_EvbpAx5gYViG8pZCViCxpqcNv-78CqCVcUXtrBQbwSzZX1UuK7_gqitttDsA9Br0Rm-AO88z4MWcUJmSBGD_HsMAe5/s400/craftermath+5-5.jpeg" border="0" /></a> <div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg37XuhM7pyVbkr5gDTJ2k3V3MQkqwxaE2Cfthwegw4MMQXsG1m4_EvbpAx5gYViG8pZCViCxpqcNv-78CqCVcUXtrBQbwSzZX1UuK7_gqitttDsA9Br0Rm-AO88z4MWcUJmSBGD_HsMAe5/s1600/craftermath+5-5.jpeg"></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><div>We here @ CRAFTERMATH <span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(68,68,68)">chose our events and locations carefully, and therefore they do not have a regularly recurring date.

It's one of NYC's wackier parades, and has managed to have a tradition of about 100 yrs. or so, with very low key publicity. Plus the weather is almost always beautiful, year after year. Paraders get to be photographed along 10 closed blocks of 5th Avenue by paparazzi that mostly poop out on the parade's theme. The theme is Easter bonnets, but plenty of our fellow wackos delight in wearing head to toe Easter finery. Finery counts as 1950's flapper, formal any-era chic, day-glo, festive floral overload, and the ever popular: basket-on-the-head accented by beloved Peeps. The non-consensual dressing up of companion animals is also a tradition. Here are pictures of CRAFTERMATH's High Priestess of Peeps and Easter Disaster along w/some of our favorite Paraders. We were accompanied by our friend and comrade, whom we christened "The Ghost of Easter Past," who happens to also be a chair on NY State's Young Feminist Task Force.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Happy Easter, Peeps!</span></span> <div></div></div>piccolitaliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05319945121338548591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338378205245885739.post-44839659387697031052010-04-03T12:23:00.000-07:002010-04-03T12:23:33.524-07:00Hello and welcome!

Our old blog seems to have vanished into the google abyss. They said that happens from time to time. Let's have a moment of silence for our deceased blog, pulled into the quicksands of the internet before it's prime.<br />
