Think Fabricate Brooklyn Transferware Plates

Since design studio Think Fabricate is based in Brooklyn, and all of its designs are created and manufactured in the borough, it makes sense that Think Fabricate should create at least a few pieces that pay homage to the borough.

Picture of Franny's Clams, Chilis, and Parsley Pizza

This picture of white pizza was shared by HeyKristen in the Savory Sights group in the YumSugar Community.

Bettany and Connelly Are No Longer Brooklynites

Actors Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly have finally sold their 9-bedroom, 3.5-bath Victorian townhouse in Brooklyn, which they put on the market in May. The Bettany-Connelly Prospect Park pad still stands in my mind as the one of the most impressive celebrity digs I've yet to take a gander at.
