Haute Chef Aprons

Haute Chef Aprons poke fun at traditional stereotypes and iconic classic images of women in the kitchen using combinations of silhouettes and fabrics that are a pinch cheeky, a smidgen of classy, a shake of retro, a dash of sexy, and all-around fun. I adore the idea of a fun host or hostess apron that will make your guests laugh, as well as an apron that makes you feel sexy and dressed up instead of doughty while you are enjoying your time preparing dishes and memories for those you want to love and nourish. Without actors to dress up and costume shops to manage, this is the perfect time to develop a maybe someday business idea. Bonus a little create purpose fun in the day to day.

Jewelry

Ghostlight Jewelry

Just like the rest of the Broadway community, on March 12, I lost my job as a Child Guardian for Lincoln Center Theater's "Flying Over Sunset" thanks to the covid-19 pandemic. It was supposed to be a 4 week layoff (and at the time, it seemed like a welcome vacation). As the "temporary" closure stretched on, I needed something to do and started making bracelets for friends and family. I then started thinking of my friends and my favorite shows and how having a little show related mantra to look at on our wrists might bring some cheer. So after some thought and a newly overflowing bracelet container, I decided that people outside of my immediate circle might need some happy reminders of their favorite things too. I hope that these bracelets bring you as much joy when you wear them as they do when I make them.

BeadedByVal

Beautiful handmade beaded memory wire bracelets here for sale. Each bracelet is made with standard memory and should fit most wrist sizes and is made with either all glass beads or a mix of glass and stone beads. Each bracelet is unique and one of a kind. There is also a series of bracelets inspired by Harry Potter Hogwarts house colors. I can also custom make a bracelet for you if requested.

Ivy & Clarke

Six months into the Broadway shut down, there have been LOTS of activities and ideas-hard to keep a 6 year old occupied during #quarantine. One idea Elliot had was to make bracelets for her friends. As we started to make them I thought, "why not make some that will empower and uplift and serve as reminders for myself throughout the day?" And our mommy/daughter biz, Ivy & Clarke, was born. We have so much fun picking out beads and coming up with phrases and color combinations.
While many of us are having to pivot, I like to think this is more like a #sidehustle. We are donating a portion of the proceeds to various charities depending on the cause at hand, and always also to Elliot's pick, the @kidsinneed foundation, which gives school supplies to kids living in extreme poverty in America, so that all children have the proper materials to attend school & receive an education.
Elliot and I are super excited to embark on this new endeavor! We hope you'll find something that appeals to you. All of our items are handmade and packaged by this 2.5 man team, and can be customized to pretty much any request. We've paid special attention to the stones we use and their properties.....I think you'll agree we need all the help we can get to stay in a solid and healthy mental, physical & spiritual state. The BEST part though, is the excitement Elliot has for this project, and the fact that we have the time, and get to do it together. One of the #silverlinings to these covid days.
