Spoonbill & Sugartown Bookselllers
218 Beford Avenue Brooklyn New York 11249
www.spoonbillbooks.com
The ONE THING we do best is provide a bracing cascade of surprise for our customers. We nurture Cageian randomness in our curation and often use the ouija board to order books, in a nod to James Merrill.
We have books, new and used, that the big stores don't carry.
Ed Miller

I am a children's book author/illustrator. I have lots of children's books (for ages 3 to 8) to sell at great prices. I will be signing copies of my xmas book, Elf Elementary, all day (tell me you heard about my booth on WNYC and receive $2 off Elf Elementary).
In addition, I have children's room accessories, such as handmade pillows, art prints, decorative wall hangings, cute lamps, and furniture. Also on sale are xmas cards and puzzles.
These unique products adorn with my signature art will make great gifts.
My booth is set up at the Brooklyn Flea Market at PS 321 in Park Slope (7 Ave. @ 2 St.). I will be there every Saturday and Sunday until Xmas.
Praise for Elf Elementary: "Elf Elementary is a gorgeous book that will be a favorite for years to come."—The New York Daily News

And, best of all, every pillow can be fully customized to meet your needs. You can chose a pre-designed pillow or design your own by choosing the fabric, size, style and trim. I make pillows that make you happy.

"Watchung Photo" 1 Day Pop Up Studio
31 Mountain Ave, Watchung, NJ, 07069
watchungphoto.com
I am able to truly catch a glimpse of the love and joy coming from your family or friends through photography because I approach photographing every subject as a joyous but sacred act. After all, isn't it quite possible that in 100 years, all that will remain of ourselves will be a single framed photograph?
Although I normally shoot fine art and lifestyle & travel photog. with an ephemeral yet journalistic style, relying on natural light I call "fine art photography," I have this year been loving photographing families and children using a mix of natural and studio lighting -- and loving it! I am sharing the love on this Saturday, November 30, at a full pop up studio I'm setting up at the Watchung Exempt Firemen's Hall in Watchung, NJ at a price that is so low my wife is p*ssed but I just really want to shoot families all day in 20 minute sessions... book times online...
Right off 78, plenty of parking behind the building, free coffee and donuts, minutes from 2 of NJ's 5,000 acre+ "Great Swamp" wildlife preserve (w nearby "Raptor Trust") and the Watchung Reservation... but don't do it for those reasons. Do it to screw Walmart and Target!

Lighthouse

Lighthouse is a great restaurant with fresh, clean delicious food and warm atmosphere.
We think it's a great idea to get someone a gift card for dinner or brunch rather than another item they might not need.
Experience presents rule!
