2nd Annual Jingle Bash - Coming up!

Make your way to the Sons of Hermann Hall on November 21, and shop from over 50 hand-picked artists, designers and crafters selling their modern handmade goods. Dowdy Studio and Pamela Michelle will both be there selling our shirts, jewelry and art.

On hand will be art pendant necklaces, vintage-inspired décor, screenprinted tees, modern handbags, vinyl record jewelry, hip crocheted winter-wear, felted necklaces, and soap in the shape of dentures. (No, we aren't joking.)

When you're done shopping, belly up to the bar for a beer, great home cooked food, and a game of pool. Or grab your brewski and head back out for a second round of shopping.

Artist booths will fill the Hall upstairs in the ballroom and downstairs in the bowling alley and board room. Enjoy live music and DJ tunes throughout the Hall to keep you rockin' and shoppin' all day long.

Cross everyone off your gift list this year at the 2nd Annual Jingle Bash and make it a handmade holiday!

We Bash artists are getting really excited as the much-anticipated Jingle Bash nears. We're so excited that some of us have to occasionally put down our scissors, paint brushes, pliers, and hooks to do a little happy dance. Lemme tell ya, we love to happy dance.

In fact, we're so thrilled about the Jingle Bash that we want to offer you a chance to join us in our collective happy dancing by offering a chance to win some awesome prizes in the form of Bash Bucks. Yep, Bash Bucks are like gift certificates you'll pick up the day of the Jingle Bash - and you can spend them at ANY participating artisit's booth during the Bash. You can't go wrong.

You can win by commenting on the Etsy Dallas blog post or tweeting the Jingle Bash.

Much fun this weekend!

Okay folks, grab your friends and head out to two super fun handmade shopping events. I'll be in two places at once this weekend. So whether you're in Dallas or Oklahoma City, you will not be without some Pamela Michelle.

The Girlie Show - Oklahoma City, OK
The Girlie Show is art, creativity, craftsmanship and funk. Hand-designed … sometimes refined … and all by chicks. It’s not stuffy like an art show or fluffy like a craft show. Think less haute, more hot. Guys, girls, good times. And this year is rockin’ number six.

Hope to see ya there! This year i'll be rock'n it with all my Dallas gals: Cut Out and Collect, Tara to the T, Enju, Texas Tarts, Superchica and Free Lisa. And also a very sweet jewelry designer, Ornamental Things form Austin, TX

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6
8 P.M. TO MIDNIGHT

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7
NOON TO 5 P.M.

FARMER’S PUBLIC MARKET BUILDING
311 S. KLEIN, OKC

Bee Things Yard Sale - Dallas, TX
Bee Things is hosting a very artsy yard sale. Come enjoy some early holiday shopping right in the coziness of the Bee Things home. There will be snacks, prizes and some good old fashion hanging out and having fun with friends in the yard. I'll have small but awesome collection of my handmade necklaces for sale, along with Bee Things' hand printed artwork, Paperfingers' art prints and some sweet wood artwork from Noshii . Stop by, Say hi, and stay a while for some good times.

saturday, november 7th

Featured twice in one week! yippie!

Blog land has been a very fun place this week. I just about spit my coffee outta my mouth with excitement when I saw these two posts. It always one of those gotta call my mommy and dance around my room type of moments. Thank you Rachel Lee for the lovely write up about my jewelry! Check out this very hip blog here.

Thanks PurplePinkandOrange for labeling me a "SCORE under $30". This has definitely been an exciting week in Pamela Michelle land. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

New new new!

I've been updating my online shop. Here's just a taste of the goodies you'll find in there.

THANKS DALLAS!!!

Holy cow holy cow!! Our Bash shows were just voted as Dallas' "Best One-Stop Shop" in the coveted and uber popular Dallas Observer's Best Of annual issue. It's on stands today!!

This is a huge. mega. deal. Here's the write-up:

Sure etsy.com—the online boutique community for crafters, jewelry designers, knitters, tailors, bookbinders, vintage sellers and collectors of everything—is a surefire way to kill an afternoon and build up a wish list, but an Etsy Dallas event is even better. Prices are great, the craftsmanship is fantastic, it feels good to support local crafters and you'll still cover everyone on any gift list you might have for the next two years. But the downside is you'll also empty your bank account with little to no effort without some preventive measures. We have a friend keep us from purchasing on the first lap through the show. We spend only cash (even if a booth takes cards). And we buy no more than we can carry on our own person. It's hard, but, well, you gotta leave something for the rest of the shoppers to look at. On the other hand, screw everyone else, retail therapy rocks! The Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash takes place November 21 at Sons of Hermann Hall. Sharp elbows stimulate the economy, people.

In case you're wondering, What the heck is the Bash?, let me fill you in. The Bash is the premier arts and crafts event in Dallas that we started back in 2008. The Bash is put on by Tefi Designs and Pamela Michelle, with support from the Etsy Dallas leadership team: Larry, Carrie, Cheyne, Alicia, Mandi, Dylan, and Randi.

This year's 2nd Annual Jingle Bash will take place at the historic (and somewhat David-Lynchian) Sons of Hermann Hall, November 21st (that's a Saturday) from 1am-7pm. More deets here.
