We rounded up a few things from local merchants, perfect for the bittersweet (love/hate?) back-to-school shopping season.

From MUSE, we have a handmade, padded iPad or eReader sleeve ($38):and iPod Touch or iPhone cases with gorgeous hand-dyed wool and yarn ($16):

From The Greenery, we found a number of goodies for your resident genius:

and a gadget cozy for the stylish techie:

From The Wooden Midshipman, we found hardcore punk erasers (75 cents):

and classy notebooks (“the Mercedez-Benz of notebooks”) ($12):

and striped paper straws to tuck into school lunches ($7 per pack):

Thanks to The Bay Magazine, we have two free tickets to the Newport Winefest this weekend at the Newport Yachting Center. These tickets are for Saturday, 8/20 from 1pm to 5pm.

We at Discover Warren are looking for a marketing intern to help out with the following:

* social media tools (Twitter, Facebook, this blog, Pinterest, etc.)
* merchant outreach
* managing press releases and media contacts
* grassroots marketing strategies

This amazing person will have the opportunity to help our fledgling merchants group craft and execute a marketing strategy as well as do fun things like create blog posts and help us with events. This internship is unpaid but we are happy to help you get course credit for your work (so we’re looking at you, Roger Williams students!). Some of this stuff can be done from home so if you live in the Providence/Newport area, that’s good enough for us.

Give us a shout with your resume and/or a writing sample, and tell us a little about yourself. We are at info@discoverwarren.com. Can’t wait to enslave work with you!

 

Stop by The Wooden Midshipman (146 Water Street) tomorrow at 6pm for a Book Exchange Party to benefit the George Hail Free Library. Bring gently used books to trade with others; all leftovers will be donated to the library along with 10% of sales from the event.

Refreshments provided, of course! See you there.
