Weekend Recap - Deep Ellum Outdoor Market and Lotus Yoga Pop-Up Shop

This past weekend we enjoyed ourselves some Deep Ellum Outdoor Market and A Pop-Up Art Shop at Lotus Yoga in Dallas.  Both events were mega fun and we enjoyed meeting new folks, as well as hanging out with some old friends. 


Dylan set up the Dowdy Wagon at the Deep Ellum Market. We were thrilled to neighbor the Good Luck Food Truck in our own little mini-mobile market.

Pamela spent the day at Lotus Yoga for our pop-up shop with La Alicia, Cut Out and Collect and Tefi, all local artists and great friends of ours. Their yoga space was a no shoes zone, so it made for a great casual environment, especially when we all retired from standing and plopped down on some yoga pillows on the floor.

See you guys next Sunday when we'll be taking the Dowdy Wagon out to the Better Block Project on Ross Ave in Dallas for Ross Ramblas!! Check out our Calendar for all the details.

Cheers!
-Pamela + Dylan

Estate Sale Score!!


For those of you who know us really well, you already know about our estate sale obsession. For those of you who don't, well......WE FREAKING LOVE ESTATE SALES!!

There's something magical about getting to see a person's left behind belongings. Not only do you get the change to see some unique vintage pieces, but you also get to see them in their context, meaning where those pieces lived while someone owned them. You can kinda create your own story in your head about the person by what things they kept. You can get a sense of who they were by seeing their kept treasures.

We were out last Saturday afternoon, and saw a huge pink sign near our neighborhood. We had no excuse not to slam on our breaks and bust a u-turn. It was Saturday around 3pm. Now if any of you are professional estate sale shoppers, you know that 3pm is usually slim pick'n time, but we went anyways.

GOOD thing we did, because we found this beauty!

The frame was originally a brassy metal color, so we painted it a more suitable color for the Wagon.
Then we decided we should take some pics with both of us and the mirror

Here we go, up on the wall in the Wagon. It's a nice new home for this beautiful mirror. Thank you Estate Sales!!
