For those of you who were unable to attend The Lone Star Ladies Present: Shop Austin, be sure to plan on attending their future events, there was a fantastic array of goods from some of the most talented (and fun) artisans in Austin, along with a few new ones from Dallas and Houston! A great time was had by all, and there was even homemade pie and gourmet chocolate & popcorn! 


I had a great show, and the icing on the cake was getting awarded the first place prize for the Vendor Booth Contest sponsored by Texas Store Fixtures; I now have a $300 gift certificate to spend at their store and a "big check/gift certificate"! I feel even more flattered due to the stiff competition, including friends & fellow artisans Christine Terrell of Adaptive Reuse, http://adaptivereuser.com/home.html  and Kristen Pumphrey of Pomme Frites, http://www.pommefrites.etsy.com/ who were awarded 2nd and 3rd place - congrats! It was very exciting and very unexpected!


This week's featured item was chosen because turquoise & copper are a hot combination with lot's of appeal!  http://www.etsy.com/listing/45187671/turquoise-tuesday-copper-canyon-turquois
