Brown oblong dots on a white background... pair with anything this fall! This is a one-of-a-kind item and will disappear from the BTC Elements site once purchased. Created from reclaimed tins and cans, sterling silver earwires Made in Brooklyn Anna Johansson, the designer and creator of these earrings loves reclaiming items destined for the trash and recreating them into something that transcends what it once was. Anna uses different cans and tins that have labels and decorations enameled onto the surface. Some are found in thrift stores, taken from the trash, or found in grocery stores.

had a chance to meet Brooklyn designer Erika Rier at the recent Renegade Craft Fair. Erika’s fashion creations really caught my eye. I really love her eco-fashion pieces. She made the dress that she wore in this photo and also the shoulder bag. She sells her work at several local boutiques, and just this past week she opened an Etsy shop under the name middewynter. You can find some of her unique pieces there and she also makes custom pieces to customers measurements. You can also find her work at Flirt Brooklyn, and Sodafine.

This special class seems right up my alley. A great find for DIYs. This Saturday you can visit 3rd Ward in Brooklyn and take a class on Reconstructing Vintage Clothing. You just need to bring a clothing project that you have been wanting to tackle and head to 3rd Ward. Molly Dilworth will help participants review the garments and show you possibilities for alternating the item. And the best thing is you will get suggestions tailored to your individual garments. Molly Dilworth is a Brooklyn artist who has made commissioned sewing projects for Calvin Klein, LaSuperette, Spring Gallery and with artists Marina Zurkow and Julian Bleeker.
