Come Shop + Party + Art + Craft it Up with Me!

The Jingle Bash is indeed a craft show like no other! It is a party where you can shop for handmade goodies, craft some awesome handmade goodies of your own at the Make and Take table, meet some fabulously talented crafty folks, and have a jolly ol' time while you check off items on your holiday shopping list.

I hope to see you there! It's going to be a ton of fun!

Saturday, November 19th

1pm-8pm

at the Palladium's Southside Events Center

There's a New Kind of Baby Boutique in Town: Babytique!

Expecting Moms and Dads who like surprises are going to fall in love with this special place in North Dallas. Announcing the arrival of Babytique, a new kind of baby boutique in North Dallas. 

Babytique offers the most amazing baby registry system especially designed for Moms who are waiting to find out if their baby is a boy or a girl. Their NotFindingOut registry is a unique system where you choose the registry items for both a baby boy and a girl. The shop contacts your doctor directly to find out which list you really need. Only your doctor and the shop know your secret, and you can bet, neither is going to let it slip. And then, when your bundle of joy arrives, your gender appropriate gifts will be waiting for you. 

Thanks Babytique for making one of life's best surprises fun again!

Babytique is having a Grand Opening Celebration all this week. 

In addition to these fun events all week, Saturday will be a big blowout with a MDA fundraiser, a visit from the Dallas Fire Department, a raffle, swag bags and a local showcase with handmade baby products from the EtsyDallas team. I am delighted to help Babytique celebrate their Grand Opening Saturday, August 20 from 11-2 pm.
