Amy Shaw and Jae Kim, owners of Park Slope’s Greenjeans (and bloggers), will be featured on the CBS Early Show on August 29th.  The shop, on Seventh Avenue near 16th Street, features traditional and new wave craft items from all around the world.  They have 100% toxin-free wooden toys made by Frank Ridley’s Different Drummer Workshop.

"Every single toy is handmade by Frank in his barn workshop in the woods
of Solon, Maine. The toys are solid Maine pine and maple sanded smooth
with no varnish, paint, or any other finish on them, so kids can play
(and chew!) to their heart’s content with no risk of lead poisoning or
exposure to harmful chemicals," writes Amy and Jae on their blog.

Tune in to the The Early Show on CBS on August 29th to catch a relationship piece about husband-and-wife business partners featuring me and Jae!

It
all happened very quickly, and quite out of the blue, (and no we don’t
have a publicist!). Last week, we got an email from a woman named Amy Kean
asking if we are a couple in business together with the words "CBS
Early Show" in the subject line. Thinking it might be spam, I replied
"Yes!" and figured that was it. But within minutes Amy called the shop
and talked to a very surprised Jae, whom I hadn’t told about the email
yet. It all sounded legit and kinda fun, and the next thing we knew, we
had made a date for CBS to come to our very not-unpacked-yet apartment
(we moved a couple weeks ago) for an interview!

Amy had found
out about us by googling "brooklyn entrepreneur husband and wife" and
finding Shawn Liu’s recent interview with us for his small business
blog, Hear, Hear.
She said that she’d considered asking some higher-profile husbands and
wives in business, but decided she’d rather go with someone who hadn’t
had as much publicity yet. How lucky is that?!
