Arts and Crafts in the Open Air, Soho New York

I've begun this blog to provide a worldwide display for a line of novelty original handicrafts that are usually on display when the weather's nice on Spring Street in Soho, New York. People are always asking me, "Do you have a website," but up till now, I haven't tried to build one. You can find me at Etsy.com under the username "blitzknitz" and sometimes on Ebay, but most of my business is at a vending display in Soho.

Soho is a mecca for tourists all over the world, so there are always a lot people taking pictures. I carry a point and shoot camera at all times, and am happy and flattered when photographed to be somebody's memento of a trip to New York, be it amateur or professional such as Amy Arbus, daughter of the the late Diane Arbus who covered my glasses for her Village Voice column August 22, 1989.

The little hula girls on these flag ship decorated sunglasses have been discontinued by their manufacturer but a few still remain and are for sale for $25 plus $5.65 priority shipping in the US, outside please e-mail me a lightning494@gmail.com.
