Pictures from the Tacoma Etsy Craft Party

Whew!  What a crazy week.  Well here they are, folks!  Pictures from the Tacoma Etsy Craft Party!  A lot of fun and I think we all agree that the strawberry cupcakes at Hello, Cupcake are THE BEST EVER.

Jezbilinka brought some fantastic hairclips and handmade items, and The Jilted Coquette brought adorable hairpieces to display (and the cutest socks I've ever seen.)  We ALL made some pretty awesome party hats.  Everyone donated $4 to participate, and the funds were donated to wildlife rescue in the gulf.  Thanks to Hello, Cupcake for donating the space, and to all who participated for making the day so special.  I can't wait to do it again!

Tacoma Etsy Craft Party on June 18th!

From Etsy's website:

"Let's celebrate! Today, along with ReadyMade and Meetups Everywhere (and you), we're launching Etsy Craft Party, a global initiative to energize your local community, make art together, and throw a party in your neck of the woods. We want to celebrate crafting together on June 18, 2010 (which just happens to be Etsy's birthday) with as many celebrations across the globe as possible."

And thusly, I give you the Tacoma Etsy Craft Party on June 18th! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=122505821114587#!/event.php?eid=122505821114587

The location is Hello, Cupcake in Downtown Tacoma, at 1740 Pacific Ave. Come by the open house from 3-6 PM and learn how to make some arts and crafts for a small donation, buy some delicious cupcakes, browse items from Etsy sellers and get to know each other! Everyone is welcome! It would be a nice excuse to collect some donations to aid wildlife rescue efforts in the Gulf of Mexico as well. Our party is going to kick so much ass it will hurt us more than it hurts you. So mark your calendars people!!! June 18th from 3 - 6 PM! Be there or be SQUARE...
