Visual Recap from +Cool Art

(a repost from Dowdy Studio blog)

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. Larry, the Kessler Craftsman, and Tefi took over the dining room.

A close up of Tefi's pretty fabric yo-yo necklaces.

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.

Spring Bash Daily Discovery: Handmade Handbags

Today we discovered that no girl can go without her carry-all bag. Where else would you store all your valuables and daily essentials like your phone, wallet, make-up, hand crocheted afghan, hot glue gun, unicorn sprinkles, and sewing machine?

I mean, wait, okay, maybe you don't have all that in one bag. Perhaps I got a little too personal there. Well, we searched the 2010 Spring Bash Artists for the coolest carry-all bags, and WOW we found some uniquely awesome discoveries. Check them out, and be sure to swing by the Spring Bash to meet the designers and see them in person to see what you can put in them!
