Craft show

I've never done a craft show before, have you? I would like to at some point in the future, but I think there's a lot I need to do beforehand (can you tell I like to plan ahead?).

First, I need to make sure I have enough products. Then, I need to research how best to display my cards, etc. Those are the things that come immediately to mind, but I'm guessing there are a whole bunch of other variables to consider.

So even though I've never been a seller at a craft show before, I have been a SHOPPER at one. And that doesn't take much talent at all!

I'm really excited about the upcoming Jingle Bash put on by Dallas-based Etsy artists. I went to one last spring and had a ball. There's just something about perusing the works of dozens and dozens talented artists that sets my heart a flutter. 

Plus, the holidays are right around the corner and I'm totally in shopping mode, aren't you?!

The Handmade Bash

Yesterday, I attended The Handmade Bash in downtown Dallas. It was my first Etsy event and it was so fun! I met a lot of talented people with some awesome stuff for sale. I especially liked:

Guitar string bracelets and jewelry by Eye on the Sparrow.

This alphabet print by Paper Fingers.

The cinnamon clove and orange shea butter soap from The Pig and the Peacock. (It smells heavenly!!)

And how cute are these fabric flowers from Jane Joss? Perfect if you have a pitiful green thumb, like myself!

I could lose hours drooling over all of the incredible talent within the Etsy community!
