Fartsy Arts is having a Giveaway!!!

Hi folks!!

Life has been a little nuts lately but full of excitement and adventures! I would love to re-cap the beginning of summer for you but I will have to wait until my move is over.  I am moving into a cute little house with a large backyard, vintage appliances, and those adorable features an old home has.  I can't wait to invite you into my new space in Austin, but for now, I would like to share what is going on RIGHT. THIS. MINUTE. (and until Thursday at midnight!)

A GIVEAWAY!!! 

You are all invited to participate!!! 

I am very excited to launch this new collection.  It has been on my mind for a while, and thanks to TechShop in Austin-Round Rock, I not have an awesome workplace to create all of the ideas rolling around in my head.

These earrings were first launched locally at The Mini Maker Faire at TechShop and then at The Big Crafty in Asheville, NC!  I have a staff of optometrists now sporting these at work at a local business in NC.  How cool!!!!

Good luck to you!! Don't forget to let me know your favorite color or a color you would like to see.  

These are also available with dainty Swarovski crystals - ohh la la.  

Check out my Etsy shop to have a peek.

Austin Flea recap! March 23, 2013 - The Rattle Inn

If you have never been to an Austin Flea event, you are missing out!  Imagine some of the hippest vendors selling vintage, handmade, jewelry, clothing, etc. in one of the many Austin venues that blare the coolest music, sling the yummiest cocktails and drinks (mimosas included) on a beautiful Texas day. Don't worry, they happen every 6-8 weeks! You can get to the next one...

When you walk into an Austin Flea, chances are you will see these ladies faces.  You can pick up a cool screen printed bag with the bad ass logo for cheap and then carry all of your goodies that you scored!

Meet Kristin and Amanda being (kinda) photobombed by a tiny little Corina and a waving Brittany!

When you walk up, you see the street lined with vendors... this is a common thing in Austin.  One of the reasons I love this town.  The arts are alive like woah here.....

and don't forget the food trucks!!  This was my lunch.  YUM!  Vegetarian taco with queso and guacamole with smoked corn.  Choose your style: Tex or Mex!  Valentina's!!!!

A lot of the vendors used this event for some Spring Cleaning...time to get creative for 2013!

There is a good chance that Ashley of Inviting: A letterpress boutique will greet you when you enter a venue.  She is a regular vendor of the flea and is always showing off new and awesome products.  This event she was announcing her personalized Texas stationary! Now offered in her Etsy shop.  Check it out! Also an Austin Craft Riot member!

Below are just some of the goodies I got to stare at all day from Moontower Vintage!  Owned by Krystal and Jen!  Check out their Etsy and their Facebook page.  I got to walk away with a vintage scale - just the the one in the middle photo.  Woo! score!

I got to share the stage with Chase and Scout Design Studios! Check out these cool plates!! They also sell some fun jewelry and have a vintage shop.  I love having neighbors that I have never met before.
