We are super excited that our craft collective of artists and designers, Etsy Dallas, was voted Best One Stop Shop in the Dallas Observer's 2009 Best of Dallas issue! No surprise though with the talent that makes up Etsy Dallas, and all their wonderful handcrafted goodies.
Here is the article:
Sure etsy.com—the online boutique community for crafters, jewelry designers, knitters, tailors, bookbinders, vintage sellers and collectors of everything—is a surefire way to kill an afternoon and build up a wish list, but an Etsy Dallas event is even better. Prices are great, the craftsmanship is fantastic, it feels good to support local crafters and you'll still cover everyone on any gift list you might have for the next two years. But the downside is you'll also empty your bank account with little to no effort without some preventive measures. We have a friend keep us from purchasing on the first lap through the show. We spend only cash (even if a booth takes cards). And we buy no more than we can carry on our own person. It's hard, but, well, you gotta leave something for the rest of the shoppers to look at. On the other hand, screw everyone else, retail therapy rocks! The Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash takes place November 21 at Sons of Hermann Hall. Sharp elbows stimulate the economy, people.
If you missed the Jingle Bash last year, or Spring Bash in May, be sure you make it out to our next show! The Second Annual Jingle Bash will be held at the historic Sons of Hermann Hall at 3414 Elm St. in Dallas on November 21st from 1pm-7pm. The show will feature over 50 local artists, crafters and designers, music, and a full bar. There is no cost to the public for admission or entertainment. While this show will be family-friendly, the vibe will be a fun, night-time holiday bash full of handmade love and good times. Think of it as a party - not your typical craft show!
