etsy's craft night at south street seaport

I attended Etsy's sailor themed craft night at the south street seaport yesterday and it was loads of fun! Well, kind of! Here's the original article on Etsy. I wish it were a little less crowded but hey something free in NYC is hard to come by. It was also hard to start a bond with other crafters since some had come with a friend and sadly didn't talk to their neighbors!

Despite that, the vibe was welcoming and etsy admin were walking around offering assistance. The freebies included yarn, embroidery thread and I love Etsy bumper stickers! The best part though was that I got to meet Julie (the one who puts all these craft nights together) and got on top of that had gourmet ice-cream from a Coach (the brand) truck outside, for free! They were promoting a new line or something...

Whoo hoo to creating something with your hands and walkiing away with more than you came with!
