Renegade Craft Fair Austin - Visual Recap

This past Saturday and Sunday we strapped on the Dowdy Studio Wagon and trotted down to Austin, TX for the Renegade Craft Fair! We snapped a few pics and had a great time in the capital city. 

Pre-show frenzy. The Palmer Events center was quiet right before 11am. You could hear the chatter of the artists and the last minute shuffling of artwork as we eagerly awaited the doors to open.

 Hi to Cheyne and Thomas from Cut Out and Collect, a couple of our dear Dallas friends.

Next to the Dowdy Studio Wagon were some more familiar faces from f is for frank showing off their jewelry designs.

Next to f is for frank, we found Loop + Lil, a children's designer, and Silas Tom, a print artist. They're both from Dallas too, which made our corner of the room the Dallas Contingent.

We saw a couple of familiar faces, Handmade Julz, who moved to Portland from Dallas and Studio Erico, who also migrated to Austin from Dallas. It was like a little Dallas reunion seeing these ladies again. 

The booths and artists seemed to go one for miles in the large convention center. There was so much to see and shop. If you missed it, go see the artist page here.

+Cool Art Visual Recap

It was a couple weeks ago, there was snow on the ground, it was quiet outside and a few of us Etsy Dallas artists decided to hold an intimate trunk show called All You Need is Love + Cool Art. Here's some pics of what happened.

A view from our front window the day before the + Cool Art show.

Outside Larry's house, where the show was. Luckily the snow melted a bit that day. You know Texas shuts down when it snows, so we're really excited that we were able to make it.

It was warm and cozy inside where we set up out handmade goodies all over Larry's house. Larty, the Kessler Craftsman, and Tefi took over the dining room.

This was our set up. We shared the living room with Cut Out and Collect. We blocked the TV with our ginormous display.

That's okay, because Cut Out and Collect blocked the fireplace. We joked about turning it on....but we're too nice for that. Plus we heart her handmade bags and like them better not on fire.
