Etsy Dallas’ semi-annual bashes are on my not-too-be-missed list. Being a non-crafty person myself, I always browse through the booths and think, “You can make that from a piece of fabric and an alligator clip?”
This Saturday from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. is the spring Handmade Bash at the Palladium’s Southside event center, 1135 S. Lamar. Admission is free, but parking costs $5, so carpool if you can. One of the best things about the bash, other than the darling finds, is the opportunity to shop local — not just Dallas local, but Lakewood and East Dallas local. As you browse, look for crafters from our neighborhood (find a list after the event poster):
Dowdy Studio (Its mobile store is usually parked in the Good2Go/Cultivar Coffee/goodfriend lot.)
sozadesigns (You have to check out his poster tributes to our neighborhood.)
