Bon Voyage
Treasure Chest Boutique!

A Farewell Sale at the Handmade Pop-Up Shop on Governors Island

All summer long, The {NewNew}’s Treasure Chest Boutique has opened to reveal many handmade gems to shoppers on Governors
Island. Visitors to the island have enjoyed adding shopping to the mix of fun Island activities, and have left with a wide variety of
unique purchases from this cooperative of Etsy shop owners. Etsy.com is the largest online marketplace for handmade items. Treasures
unearthed at the shop have included hand crafted souvenir magnets from Lenny Mud (lennymud.etsy.com) , bike-themed embroidered
messenger bags from Groundsel (Groundsel.etsy.com), screenprinted tshirts abstracting the skyscrapers looking on to Governors Island
from KimmChi (www.KimmChi.etsy.com), and aquatic themed jewelry from MCFlashpants (www.McFlashpantsi.etsy.com).

It’s almost time to say Bon Voyage to this unique handmade shopping experience on Governors Island! The shop is scheduled to close
its doors on September 6th. To celebrate the end of a wonderful summer bringing handmade to thousands, The Handmade Treasure
Chest Boutique will be offering 25% OFF on all merchandise. If you’ve visited the boutique already, come back to see what new prod-
ucts the artists have restocked with throughout the summer, and if you haven’t discovered the Treasure Chest for yourself, now is the
perfect time to hail a ferry and boat right over for the sale!

This magical pop up store has made its home in Historical House 6B in the Nolan Park section of Governors Island. After September
6th, 2010, however, the {newnew} will bury its treasure for good, only to be found in the Etsy shops of its contributing artists.
Come in and plunder while you still can, landlubbers.
