I am Happy to announce that the San Antonio Etsy Craft Party made it into the top 50 parties worldwide!!! An email was just sent confirming that we will be receiving a package of goodies from Etsy and its sponsors. A big thanks goes to all of you who RSVP'd before the 7th, and we can't wait to see you all there at the Party!

This event is brought to by Sew Deluxe and the Alamo City Handmade Team. We will have door prizes, crafts, snacks, and for one lucky RSVPer, a special collection of goodies provided by Alamo City Handmade.
Feel free to bring snacks and finger foods. We also encourage you to bring supplies and even finished crafts to swap!

Event was awsome! I'm making every effort to come out more often and commune with the raddest group of DIY-ers.
Posted by sara melchor June 19, 2010 at 5:26 PMWhat a great turn-out tonight. I didn't stay too long, because I have to get up early in the morning and I live in New Braunfels, but it was great to meet people who are so talented. I look forward to going back to Sew Deluxe soon and to meeting up with some new friends I met. I am excited about getting more involved. Thank you to Brandy, Tara, and everyone else who made this possible:)
Posted by Linda Garza Parsons June 18, 2010 at 9:48 PMSorry ladies, last minute family obligation. I really wanted to meet fellow San Antonio artisans! Sometimes feel all alone, and that everything cool is in Austin. Hope to visit with everyone soon! If anyone ever gets a San Antonio Craft Mafia together give me a holler!
Posted by Lynn Lancaster- Hallam- Corona June 18, 2010 at 2:35 PMI noticed I was dropped from the interested list. I redid it and now I am showing. I hope there is not a glitch on your guest list as I still get the Email updates.
Posted by Lynn Lancaster- Hallam- Corona June 18, 2010 at 8:08 AMI believe the deadline to RSVP by the 7th was to help with the Etsy contest (that's when Etsy tallied the winning cities, so RSVPs made after the 7th didn't count toward the contest). I don't think it's too late to RSVP -- to do so, click "I'm Interested" in the top right hand corner.
Posted by Kim June 17, 2010 at 10:58 PMhow can i rsvp or am i too late....
Posted by Cecy de Leon June 17, 2010 at 10:29 PMWait--I RSVPed on the 8th, even though I was only the 7th person to RSVP, can I still come? I didn't realize there was a deadline.....

Posted by Brandy Ann Garcia June 17, 2010 at 3:38 PMJennifer Cave RSVP'd before June 7th, and was selected by random.org as the lucky recipient of our special goodie bag compiled by some of our sponsors.

Sew-Deluxe has more than enough "scrap fabric"...no need for anyone to bring that item. I would like to encourage everyone to bring a t-shirt or tote for the silkscreening station though! I can't wait! This is going to be a great party! Bring your friends, your kids, your hubby...bring your mom - she'll have a blast!

Posted by Danielle DeLaCruz June 14, 2010 at 7:37 PMWanting to clarify, Since I placed myself as "I'm Interested" Is this my RSVP? Or, is there another place that I must place my intention to attend?

Posted by Pam Nelson June 7, 2010 at 11:07 AMHi... I am fairly new to Etsy...Is this an event where we bring our items and sell them? Or is it a get together to just meet other Etsy members?

Posted by Brandy Ann Garcia June 1, 2010 at 11:53 PMWe've rearranged over at the Sew-Deluxe studio and can now accommodate more like 20 people...but we have the back courtyard area at our disposal too, if you want to BBQ. We have actually had parties with more than 50 people...we overflowed out on the side walk and the parking lot. Let me know how big the party is and we will see if we can host it! - Missy
Posted by Missy May 26, 2010 at 9:15 AMWe'd like to get an idea of how many would like to attend in order to pick a venue. If you're interested, please go ahead and sign up! The more the merrier!
