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.

Indie Genius Bazaar Recap

Last Saturday and Sunday we spent both lovely days in the IndieGenius parking lot on 7th and Zang with a bunch of cool artist folks + friends in our Dowdy Studio Wagon. We have a permanent small boutique space inside Indie Genius, but thought we'd have some fun and set up the Wagon outside too.

Here's some shots we took at the beginning of the event. We really wish we had more time to shoot more, but we got a little carried away just enjoying ourselves and meeting awesome people.

Our new chalkboard sign got it's first debut on the door of the Dowdy Studio Wagon all weekend.

There were lots of cool vendors. Must give a shout out to my Etsy Dallas peeps: Signifying Not, ReGeared, Karmacrocket, 2Enju who were all there and a special shout out to our friends from F is for Frank. They all rock'd it as usual.

Justin + Lindsay had the cutest lively bundle of fluff. The lovely Milo, waltzed in the Wagon and started shopping even before his parents knew what was going on. I think he was kinda bummed to find we didn't have any tees in his size, but we think he still had a good time.

Thanks for stopping by our blog guys! We hope to see you soon at the next Dowdy Studio Wagon event. We'll be at Oak Cliff Earth Day this Sunday from 12-5pm.

Hi!!! - from Dylan

Did you say food?

We didn't take this pic. We actually pulled it from the Bees Enchiladas facebook page, but we wanted to inlude a little shout out for our new favorite enchilada house. Bees, is just a skip across the street from Indie Genius, so we indulged in their tasty offerings. i'm sure everything on the menu is great, but may we suggest: try their mushroom and spinach enchilada's with avocado sauce (Pamela's fave) and the brisket enchilada with blanco queso (Dylan's fave).

YUM YUM YUM!!!

Cheers!

-Pamela + Dylan
