Etsy Dallas Trunk Show...A Success

Thanks to everyone who came out Saturday and checked out our Trunk Show. I think it was a huge success. We had over 40 local artists show off their goods and lots of people took advatage of the great weather we had and did some shopping. (Yes it was inside but we could have the doors open!)

Made some new friends while I was there. One of them was Jessica from Funky Finds and she was kind enough to write up a great piece on her blog about our little show. Check it out here. I also donated 2 8x10 photographs for one of her giveaways in September. To see who else is featured in the September giveaway click here. I know it's not till September but I will remind you as it gets closer, promise. I will also post some pictures later of what I donated.

I also got to meet some of our great members. Being a mostly online group it's great when we finally get to meet face to face! If you get a chance check out our group blog or website to see some of the artists in our group and check out their shops for some unique pieces that you can't live without.

I also got the chance to work on my booth set up. I have added a great many pieces since my last show and had a hard time deciding how to show it all off. Here's what I came up with.



Later this week I will let you know how I got to this layout and some tips and tricks I learned from doing it. Well I am off for the night...enjoy the last few hours you have before you must return to work tomorrow!

Esty Dallas Trunk Show ~February 9~



If you live in the Dallas area or will be in town February 9, you don't want to miss the trunk show being put on by Etsy Dallas. There will be over 40 artists local there, including yours truely! This a great place to get something unique for your Valentine (Valentine's Day is the following week!!!)

To let you know a little about the place that is holding the trunk show for us: Southside's Artists' Quarter is a large hallway located on the first floor of the old Sears warehouse building on Lamar, which was converted to beautiful lofts and art space. I think that they are just as excited about the upcoming trunk show that we are doing!

If you would like to find out more about the artists that will be there check out the
Etsy Dallas Blog or the Etsy Dallas Website.

We plan on having goodies bags there for the first 100 people that sign up for our newsletter! The goodies bags are going to have coupons (for that day only), business cards and other various goodies! If that's not enough to get you excited we may also have some munchies for you to nibble on while you shop!

Come check us out! Do a little shopping (even if it's for yourself), meet some local artists and just have fun! Can't wait to see you all there!
