Jingle Bash Sponsor Spotlight: DFWChild

Etsy Dallas is delighted to welcome back a faithful sponsor of The Jingle Bash, DFW Child. Our mom friends will already know that DFW Child is the go-to magazine for parents in the metroplex, but aunties and uncles, grandmas and grandpas might want to take note, too. Each monthly publication targets a specific area in the metroplex and all the local happenings. DallasChild, FortWorthChild, and NorthTexasChild are available in print and online.

Two special publications,--Thrive, a quarterly publication for DFW area families living and thriving with learning differences and special needs, and DallasChildBaby, a biannual publication for new and expecting parents--give specialized resources from a trusted source.

Jingle Bash Sponsor Spotlight: The Shops at Park Lane

We at Etsy Dallas are delighted to return to The Shops at Park Lane for the 2013 Jingle Bash! Located in the heart of midtown Dallas, The Shops at Park Lane pairs the best in stylish shopping with distinctive dining and entertainment options, in a modern urban environment.

On Bash day, you can find us in Walker’s Workshop and Jingle Bash Lane for indoor and outdoor shopping fun. In these two adjacent shopping spaces, over 60 handmade artists will be selling their goods, so grab a hot chocolate (or a beer!) and help us celebrate the season.

In addition to all the handmade goodness happening in our holiday market extravaganza, you’ll be able meet some of The Shops’ premier tenants. Gordon Biersch is our official beer provider and Whole Foods (the largest Whole Foods in North Dallas!) is sponsoring a DIY make-and-take craft table. And many shops are offering deals in conjunction with the Jingle Bash—so stay tuned for the details! 

Plan to spend the day at The Shops at Park lane. Our vendors will be open from 11-6, but before that you can stroll through some of the flagship stores, maybe get a mani/pedi, take your kids to play on an on-site playground, and certainly you can find some delicious food. After the Bash, you can grab some groceries or just meet up with a few friends and compare Bash finds at one of the five restaurants on site. (And that’s not including the food and fun to be had at Bowl and Barrel.)

Located directly across Central from North Park Center, The Shops at Park Lane is a destination for fun and great finds; add The Jingle Bash’s heaping dash of holiday cheer to the mix and you’re guaranteed a fabulous Saturday. Oh yeah, there’s plenty of free, on-site parking!
