Inspiring Article

An article for my archives :) 

I feel we really need to read things like this, and not just once in a while but often. For each year I add to my life I learn more about what REALLY matters and what doesnt. So... take some time off your day to day tasks today and read this piece titled "Love Yourself + Love What You Do + Love Others = Real Success and Happiness," by Danielle Robinson.

Help the Victims of Hurricane Sandy

Hi everyone, as you all already know Hurricane Sandy devasted many parts of NYC, people have been staying in shelters, with friends, family, etc. because their homes have been flooded, damaged or are out of power. So lets help them!! This is the time to go through all your  things and anything you have that you would like to donate is appreciated! The Corcoran real estate office I work for in Williamsburg (241 Bedford Ave. at North 4th) is taking donations, anything from food, to blankets, clothing for children and adults, anything you want to give! We have coordinated to have these items taken to the victims of Sandy. All the other Corcoran offices in Brooklyn are also taking donations. The link attached has the addresses of all the offices. Please take some time to help, its these times when as a community we need to get together and help each other out in any way we can because that's the whole point of living in a community so that we can depend on each other and help each other out. Thank you!!!

In case you are in the Bushwick area, please email the loft (loft594) located at 594 Bushwick Avenue, 2nd Floor, you can drop off donations at the loft and I will make sure to get them to my office so that they can get to the victims of Sandy. Just send me a quick email at loft594brooklyn@gmail.com so that I can coordinate to meet you at the loft and receive the items from you. Thanks again!!

Scrap Fabric Bath Mat

So... I had a ton of scrap fabric that I couldn't really make anything with... And one day I was going through all my crafting books and found my Big-Ass Book of Crafts by Mark Montano, and inside I found the best idea ever for crappy scrap fabric pieces. In the book there are directions on how to make a "scrap-fabric leaf rug" :) And so... my scrap fabric turned into an awesome bath mat, which I might add my kitties love to play with!

Check it out! (By the way, the one in Mark Montano's book is much cuter ;)
