Crafting is having a major moment with celebs sharing their hobbies and some even turning them into businesses. A pioneer of this was our own Caviar Dreamer, The Marge, with her business Macbeth Collection back in 1999. Craft focused platforms Etsy and Pinterest continue to expand and report huge revenue growth.

In this week’s episode we talk to Lindsey Peers, owner of Craft Studio NYC, a celeb fave spot for creating, crafting and curating happiness. Lindsey was struggling to work 3 jobs on top of studying in NYC when the slip of a business card changed her life.
