Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash Recap

I am fortunate enough to be a member of Etsy Dallas, a group of awesome Dallas artists.  I can't tell you how wonderful these people are!  Although I've been a member for about a year, I've met some great people through ED.  I am continually amazed by the work they produce and have to pinch myself sometimes to believe I am a part of such a talented group of people. 

The Jingle Bash is Etsy Dallas' annual event that promotes handmade vendors in a fun, party-like atmosphere (read: mood lighting, a DJ, bars, lounge space).  Saturday was....pretty awesome. 

But I started working on the Bash this summer when I was asked to be on TEAM BASH.  As a part of this organizing body, I worked on developing and promoting the Bash Bucks contests on Twitter and the Blog.  I also worked to do some PR with media outlets.  And, perhaps the biggest job of all, I collected all of the donations for the Bash Bags and stuffed them before the event. 

Oh yeah, did I mention that I also had a booth at the event? 

Friday night. Empty Space. Helping set up for the Bash.

We all know Jenni needs a little sparkle.

One of my display pieces: a fantastically gorgeous green vintage suitcase set.

 By the end of the evening, my carousel display was....bare. 

It was a great show.  I couldn't have done it without my mom who drove in from the 806 to help out.  Absolutely wouldn't have been able to do it without her!!!!!! 

Save the date for the Spring Bash: May 5, 2012!

xxoo
