The weather was a hot (er, cold) mess on Sunday, but that didn’t stop nearly 2,000 people from packing the Greenpoint Loft with commerce and mirth during our Valentine’s Market.
Even News 12 showed up with their cameras, so you should probably check out the footage and see if you’re famous yet.
Shake off your lonesome winter blues and get your crafting scissors ready, because you never know what manner of comely suitors await deserving of your best handmade Valentine at ye Old-Timey Valentine’s Market on Sunday, February 12 (1-7PM). RSVP here! We will be bringing it back to a rosy, nostalgia-tinged time of yore. Our annual Valentine’s Market will be held at the Greenpoint Loft (67 West St), once the home of the largest rope manufacturer in the U.S. and now beautifully restored to its pre-war glory.
Whether you’re single, attached, or can’t really say, come imbibe Prohibition-era cocktails and vintage jazz tunes — or just mix and mingle as you shop for yourself, your friends, or your beloved.

We are still a bit high from the buzz of our last “Winter Wonderland” themed Holiday Market where we had around 4,000 visitors! Many vendors sold out and several shoppers asked us where to find them post market so we answered in our recap. Check out some photos here. Continue reading →
If the last market was any indication, this one is going to be just as fun! Really excited about what our talented vendors have in store. Plus where else will you be able to get FREE massages, nails artfully done, personalized haikus, and professional photos all in one beautifully restored pre-war rope factory with views of the Manhattan skyline?
So come join us @Greenpoint Loft (67 West St, 5th Fl) from 1-7PM. It’s the only time you’ll get to have Greenpoint Beer & Ale’s limited edition Chocolate Stout and our Rosemary Gimlet.
While Julia is running around grabbing this and that to make her first market just perfect for you, she asked me to send out the “Friday before the market reminder.” So I’m going to do this post my way (even though I am not sure this is what Julia had in mind.)
This gives me a chance to say hello. Greenpoint, HELLO! I really miss you and wish I could be there on Sunday to give everyone big hugs and stuff way too many dogs into a photo booth shot. (Poor, Brownie (left) got it from D (middle). What a bitch, literally!)
I also wish I could go shopping because the vendors are absolutely fantastic thanks to Yuka’s brilliant curating skills.
When I was organizing the markets, I was always busy screwing in lightbulbs, selling raffles, emptying garbage cans and making sure folks don’t drop beer off the balcony – that I never got to ever shop to my hearts content. And now that I am not the owner any more, I can pick favorites.
Here is my list of MUST SEE vendors for Sunday:
Lockhart Wrks Conical Contrast Earrings ($30)
Think of Valentine’s Shopping like an airplane losing cabin pressure and fitting the air mask on your face. Shop for yourself first, then for others. I’m from Queens so any variation on the door knocker or hoop earring is a must for me. These Lockhart Wrks Conical Contrast Earrings make a big statement (like you don’t need any other accessories) and are a great deal at only $30. Wear them up or wear them down, you will get compliments on these gems. Continue reading →
We’ve been keeping toasty by warming up for our Valentine’s Market and hope you can join us this Sunday, February 8th, 2015, 1-7PM at the Greenpoint Loft (67 West St, 5th Fl).
With the 60+ vendors, this market is going to be an amazing place to buy unique and high quality gifts for your sweetie and yourself.

In addition, we’re super excited to have Greenpoint Beer & Ale provide delicious craft beer specially brewed for this occasion. We also welcome The Haiku Guys (who were just written up in the NYT) into the fold to write personalized love-themed verses onsite. And thanks to Brooklyn Gin, we will be serving a lovey dovey Rosewater Gimlet!
