My pieces are unique and one of a kind. Each coat you will find on my website is created using traditional tailoring methods and is 100% handmade. Appliques, luxurious fabrics and beautiful craftsmanship make my work a true experience. I also have a variety of smaller items for sale that would make perfect holiday gifts.

I always think something thoughtful and creative can have a large impact no matter how "small" the gift.

Turtleneck Jewelry's mission statement is Creating a new standard of "Bling!" by incorporating Fair Trade, Handmade, and Socially-Conscious beads and materials in to every individually hand crafted piece. I just love their unique almost one of a kind pieces and they're reasonably priced too.

My gift philosophy has always been to give purposeful gifts as to frivolous ones. I'd rather give an educational gift to a child, a great book to a colleague or socially conscious gift to a loved one.

Not to state the obvious, but we know the WNYC holiday shopper is highly discerning -maybe to a fault (oh that't me!) My company, Kontextür- HQ NYC- is all about creating innovative, curious, thoughtful design solutions for the bath and home. From whimsical toothbrush holders in 18K gold to silicone tissue box covers just featured in NY Mag Best Bet- we are a holiday antidote to the megastore ubiquity, just like our beloved public radio is to the rest of the 24/7 noise. I'm just saying!

A Store I Own

As an avid listener myself, my guess is that many WNYC shoppers may be looking for "one-of-a-kind" gifts. I hand-batik adult and children's clothing, wall art, and home decor (pillows, napkins). No two batiks are ever alike!

I also create holiday cards utilizing my own batik designs.

Prices for batik range from $12-$200. Cards are sold in packs of 6 ($12-18) or as singles ($4.00-4.50).

Gift certificates are also available.

Please stop by my online shop and browse :)

Looking for holiday music you've never heard before? "WEISS CHRISTMAS" (full disclosure: I'm the Weiss) is an unconventional seasonal song collection. Other public radio voices have piped in:

"['His Initials'] is one of the many great songs that can be found on one of the few Christmas albums that can be played happily at any time of the year. That album is "Weiss Christmas."
---Ed McKeon, WWUH-FM, W. Hartford CT

"You were a great hit...Many people commented on how much they liked you and your songs. And, I'm told, there were two anonymous complaint calls about [your G-O-D song] left on the local radio station's answering machine. You must be pleased."
--Sedge Thomson, KQED, West Coast Live

"... A great album for djs who want to offer other than the usual holiday fare."
--Carolyn VandeWiele, WFHB, Bloomington, IN

"...a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for making such a superior piece of work."
--Jim Graves, WFSS, Fayetteville, NC

An astute review snippet:
"...Also worthy is Ilene Weiss' "Weiss Christmas". Hers is the slightly cynical take of a Jewish woman who has scratched the surface of holiday wholesomeness. "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" gets transformed into an urban rap and is a nice companion to "Talkin To The Wrong Guy", which recounts a young girl's suspicion that the big guy's a fake. Much of the rest takes an even more critical look at gaps between faux cheer and social reality. A gutsy album on Weiss' part (**** 4 Stars)."
--Rob Weir, Northampton Valley Advocate

And look at the folkie dude who digs it:

"...I like EVERY piece on the album..."
---Noel Paul Stookey, Peter Paul and Mary
