Orange Pretty

I was honored to be featured in the following treasury starring other Spring Bash vendors and their pretty orange handmade goods. Thank you Katie of Two Hills Designs for curating this! [Click the image to see the goods up close.]

It's On Like Donkey Kong

I have a meeting tomorrow with South Side on Lamar to finalize Spring Bash stuffs. Pam, Mandi and I will do our best to make sure this Bash is tip-top fabulous. Exciting! This show is going to be so much fun. I am so excited about the line-up this year. Have you met all of our wonderful vendors? Tomorrow night I'm heading to Larry's to help Mandi (our Decorations Leader) and a bunch of other Etsy Dallas volunteers make some origami birds to decorate the Artist's Quarter at South Side where our booths will be set up. Fold, fold, fold. And guess who is screenprinting our famous Goody Bags for the first 50 shoppers.... If you guessed Dowdy Studio, you are correct! Get there early to snag one of these collectibles chock full of free goodies, promos and coupons. Read about my contribution to these bags. See you at the Bash! (Saturday, May 16th, 11am-5pm)

Fatso

Before the obesity epidemic swept across the nation, there was Fatso, a surprisingly sweet movie starring the recently deceased Dom DeLuise (d. May 4th) and Anne Bancroft (hellooooh Mrs. Robinson). From imdb.com: "Dominick has always been a big kid who loved eating. It was his favourite thing. Then his cousin dies from health complications due to a lack of exercise and improper diet. Antoinette, Dominick's sister, makes him promise to see a diet doctor and lose some weight. This is very hard for Dominick, but he tries. He also finds motivation when he meets Lydia, and he discovers a love that is more intense than his love of food. He spends so much time kissing and walking around with Lydia that he no longer eats as many unhealthy things, and he loses weight without even trying."

When I watched this movie years ago, I had no idea I would love it so much. I even cried at the end - happy tears. Here's to you Dom! Hope you're enjoying a hot dog in heaven.

Spring Fling Recap

I had such a blast at the first Funky Finds Spring Fling. Big thanks to Jessica and Joe for putting on such a great event. It was hot as Hades, but we made do and had a great time all the same. I especially love that all but one of the Humane Society of North Texas dogs on site got adopted. Yay! Now go out and get one yourself. Here are some pics taken by attendee and fellow Etsy Dallasite Susana Ortiz of Sanctum Design Studio. Thanks, Susie! Larry Pile, The Kessler Craftsman

I am back at work, back on the computer 9 hours a day, and back in business! Well, I was never out of business, but I was a little out of touch during my wonderful, fabulous, gloriful maternity leave. (Can you tell I miss it? I miss it like mad.)
