another local treasure lost

Starting around the summer, when Shakespeare's Sister closed, our neighborhood has been losing one local business after another. Today, while walking to work I noticed a sign in Brooklyn Artisans' window with a store wide clearance and a note to their patrons of 14 years. This is a hard time for everyone, and they will be sorely missed!

Hot off the presses

Here's the latest of our custom designed stationery - Save the Dates for Jessica and John.

The couple chose a sweet whimsical graphic of love birds for the theme of their save the dates. They were flat printed on a warm white card stock in the colors of their nature inspired wedding this summer. To complete the look, we addressed the matching envelopes with our digital calligraphy, matching the font and color of their names. Next up... the wedding invitations!

Act Locally

It seems every night as I'm walking home from work, I notice another chain store has opened and another local business has closed. My favorite neighborhood Indian restaurant on Atlantic, Dhaka has recently closed, and I wonder if Brooklyn will turn into another strip mall unrecognizable from every other strip mall I've driven through in New York State. Obviously, as a business owner, this concerns me. The bigger picture, though, makes me really frightened. Are we becoming another American suburb where everyone keeps to themselves with no neighborhood camaraderie? no local flavor? I love Brooklyn! I love all my favorite bars and restaurants and shops, all with some local zing and nothing at like you could find at a TGI Fridays or Urban Outfitters.

A friend referred me to this film, Twilight Becomes Night, about New York City's small businesses. I haven't yet watched it but I'm already recommending it. I suspect when the dvd arrives and I pop it in, it will only strengthen my love for this great city! You can purchase your own copy here. I'll be lamenting my loss of saag paneer.

Shop Brookyln

Borough President Marty Markowitz, along with other Brooklyn elected officials have launched the borough-wide “Shop Brooklyn” initiative, an awareness campaign highlighting the uniqueness of our neighborhoods and very cool local businesses.

We love Brooklyn! We love our local businesses! The owner of the deli on your corner knows more about your life than your mom, plus how you like your coffee. The bartender down the street has been your mySpace friend since you can remember. And your favorite local restaurant? Well, they always seem to have exactly what your craving.

"Shop Brooklyn" has been created so we remember to embrace our local flaves and faves, and hopefully get to know some new ones! So, go have a beer, have a scrumptious dinner with your sweetie, stop in your local market for fresh fruits and veggies, and, of course, stop by serimony for some locally made goodies for holiday giving... all in our wonderful neighborhood of Brooklyn!

As part of the "shop brooklyn" campaign, serimony is offering some great sales! This friday, aka "Black Friday", stop in for 15% off ALL Brooklyn themed merchandise; tee-shirts for him & her & the little rugrat; cards & totes. We're also offering special deals every weekend through Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving!
