Pamela Spotlights FreeForged!

It's time for you to know who made my earrings I'm wearing today. A lovely lovely gal I met back in May at the Etsy Dallas Beer-B-Q Trunk Show won me over with her simple sophisticated metal work jewelry. I just wanted to share with you, the beauties you can find in Kristen of FreeForged's lovely Etsy Shop.

The lovely Tara, from Tara to the T and the Dallas Craft Mafia, was a beautiful kitschy ball of energy the whole show! Love that cowgirl outfit! Here she's organizing the welcome booth before the show.
Here we have the cute girls from NerdBomber chatting up Harrilu. Sweet gals, beautiful handmade goods. I especially love my new shirt I bought from Harrilu at the show. I'll have to take a pic and show you guys. It's better than awesome.

Show Pony Show Recap

Sunday I spent some lovely time at the Show Pony Show in Deep Ellum. The super sweet girls from the Dallas Craft Mafia put on their first ever show and it was great! There was a live pony, some swing dancing and awesome tunes playing the whole time. I had a blast! Here's my highlights:Mia from MiaMaria greeted people in the morning at the Etsy Dallas Booth. She did an awesome job of handing out Etsy Dallas scavenger hunt cards and giving out free Etsy Dallas goodies. Abby of Pulp Reality and Carrie of Atom-in had a rocking good time near the DJ booth. If you happen to be at Bumbershoot in Seatle, stop by their booth and give them a happy hello.
Regina of Little Cookie was across from me selling her cutesy goods.Little Cookie's Happy Gyoza Brooch - Smile Little Dumpling is just simply adorable. Mandi from Scribble Scrabble and Larry, The Kessler Craftsman, got into a little slap fight and got mad when the cameras came around to film it. Man, it would have made good TV.
The Continental Lofts were filled with happy people. yay!
Before the show, everyone scurried to set up their booths and chit chat with fellow artists.

Artists Meet Up for super fun relaxy time!

EtsyDallas is hosting our first, just-for-fun, totally-dedicated-to-

socializing get together at Lee Harvey's, just south of downtown Dallas, near Southside on Lamar. Yes, ladies and gennerman (both of you!) we're having an EtsyDallas happy hour just for fun!

Lee Harvey's? What kind of place is that? What kind of name is that? Why...that's sacrilege!

Lee Harvey's, a Dallas institution, is situated on 1807 Gould Street, just southeast from the corner of Corinth and Lamar.

You can dress up. You can dress down. You can come alone. You can bring 50 of your crafty friends. You can bring your dog. No. I'm not joking. I promise you'll feel at home, never on the spot, and enjoy great libations, music and the Lee Harvey's menu.

It is roomy, mostly outdoors (meaning no smoke to breathe), uber-casual and fun with fair prices, fabulous food and good drinks. The crowd is just as diverse as everything else. The bouncers will even walk us single girls and single boys to our cars and make sure we're tight to drive home!

Please come and socialize with ETSY Dallas folks; meet your co-street-team members and just have some fun at Etsy Dallas' first-ever happy hour!

When: Friday, August 29th, 6:30 - 9:30 pm
Where: Lee Harvey's - 1807 Gould St. Dallas 75215
Who: all us crafty people
Why: Fun!
