Occupy Wall Street silk-screened T-shirts --
Can someone help me find the woman making silk-screen OWS T-shirts? (People would supply the T's and shed' silk sreen them at Zuccotti Park.)
She's no longer at Zuccotti Park and I'd love to know how to reach her so I can give OWS T's for holiday gifts.

I hand knit baby clothing, accessories (such as shawls, wraps, scarves & hats) and blankets. I can also do made-to-order items. I have a shop on Etsy.com called PennyLaneKnits. All items are perfect gifts for all occasions and I'm always adding inventory. Also look for new items for Mother's Day this spring.

They are EARonic iPhone 4/4s cases with photos of different ears on them. They're fun, goofy, and definitely a conversation starter. Designed by my daughter and somewhat of a hit on the blogosphere. A great stocking stuffer.

For the economy, the ecosystem, and the love of books--shop at a local independent bookstore. Mine specializes in out-of-print and antiquarian cookbooks, with something for everyone: books on every cuisine, baking, cocktails, food history, biographies, literature, old NYC restaurant guides, and ephemera (booklets, postcards, etc.). Vintage tablecloths and kitchenware, too. It's a hype-free zone--no best-sellers, no electronics, just convivial customers, one of whom may just have an answer to your nagging culinary question.

SHOP LOCAL!
SHOP INDEPENDENT!
Nothing compares with shopping in person, especially in stores where the owner and staff are your neighbors.

I'm a Jersey Shore studio jeweler that listens to WNYC all day, while I make rings, pendants and earrings. I love the beach, where I walk each day and I love the city, where I go several times a month. You'll see both of these loves in my jewelry. My online store is easy to shop from. Since I'm close by, the shipping will be quick. Most important - I was actually able to support WNYC (and got the chico bag and the tote bag) because of sales. Your sales will support next year's contribution.

Every purchase you make is a political decision. Please buy handmade in the (local) USA this holiday.
