The big news of the party is the first unveiling of Dallas' newest food truck, or I should say sweet truck, from Rockstar Bakeshop. They've named their roaming deliverer of whoopie pies, Layla, who we're all excited to see at the Studio. So we all don't go into sugar comas, the Easy Slider Truck will be joining Layla in front of our studio serving up tasty gourmet sliders.

Not only will we be celebrating the new truck, but the Dowdy Studio Wagon will also be celebrating it's 1st birthday!! Yes one whole year old!! YAY!! We have lots to celebrate, so stay tuned for some fun announcements that will get the party pumping. 

For you foodies, we've gathered up Friday's menus for you to drool over. Check out the yummy tummy offerings from Rockstar and the Easy Slider Truck

Wagon Makeover!!

The Dowdy Studio Wagon got a makeover last week. We stayed up late and worked long hours to completely rip out all the Wagon's guts and rebuild them ourselves. After a full year of rolling around town in our mobile shop, we saw a few areas that needed improvement, and we were just ready for a new coat of paint color to freshen up the small space. 

The back wall brightened up with a nice teal color for some fun pop! We trimmed down the size of our check out counter to make more room for shopping fun, and gave it a nice glossy white paint job. Our necklaces on the back wall are hanging on upside down repurposed wood hangers, that have seen better days in the Wagon. We loved making those, it felt great to save some money and reuse something that could have been thrown away. 

This is our pride and joy of the whole redesign. We finally put all the tees on one side of the Wagon, and built the display around a simple organization system - girls on one side and boys on the other. Now it's so much easier to find that Dowdy design you've been after, and we think it looks pretty dang cool too!

Our biggest challenge with the redesign was to make more space in the Wagon. with only 72 sqft, we don't have much space for bulky large shelves and bins, so we built up and narrow, and now have tons of room. There's at least another half a dance floor in the Wagon now!! yay!

We'd love to invite you to come see it in person. We're having a party at the Studio this Friday from 5-8pm. Join us for beers, and food trucks. Or swing by the White Rock Local Market on Saturday for some fresh food goods and more artists and crafters.

Cheers!

Just getting our hair did

After a fun Saturday in Fort Worth with the Dowdy Studio Wagon, and many many other fun weekends, we decided it was time to give the Wagon a little facelift. It's been almost one year that we've been rolling through out town in our mobile shop, and it's time to have a makeover! Just in time for the Wagon's 1st birthday!! 

We spent Sunday afternoon, taking out all of our handmade items and tees, and clearing out the Wagon. I think we found that pair of scissors we've been looking for hidden under one of the displays. Why is it that scissors are always going missing? Is it just an artist thing? We have this issue a lot. Now we know it's our shelves and displays that like to eat them.

After clearing out all the goods and heavy stuff, we gave the Wagon a super duty cleaning to make her shiny and happy, then got to painting. Since we've been staring at the same green wall for almost a year, we decided to change the colors completely and went with a striking yellow and sexy teal. These two colors paired make a great team. 

Next on the agenda is building all new displays. We've learned a few things here and there about how our space flows when it's crowded in the Wagon, and we're hoping to make it easier to shop in and pop out for everyone. We're going to widen the floorspace by building the displays higher into the walls. And you know what that means!!! More efficient dance parties!!!
