    I sooo wanted to come! But was too busy working on some last minute stuff. :( Was looking forward to meeting some fellow Etsy sellers as well! Next year, perhaps! BTW, did the craft party kit make it here on time??

    I had to go back to Victoria for the week and am so sorry I missed this! I was really looking forward to meeting some fellow crafty ladies in Vancouver since I moved back... and I just live across the street! I'd love to "friend" some of you on facebook to make up for missing out!!!

    Wow - i totally should have proofread my post before submitting it. Sorry for all the mistakes in that. And since I'm posting a second time, I'll just take this opportunity to say thanks again to the shops and Got Craft! Yay!

    PS - is anyone on here an Etsy seller? I'd love to check out some of the stores of local Vancouverites. Here's mine:

    What a great day it turned out to be for Etsy's bday. The stores were all great. I'd never been to Ruby Dog's before and that place is way to full of awesome! Thanks so much to the 3 stores for giving us a place to hang out and be crafty.

    I have a space that is only big enough for about 5 or 6 people- If the spaces that are available fill up we can also use my studio as an overflow.I am close by Kingsway and Fraser- (549 E 10) It might be fun to be in a bigger space to be able to craft with more people though.
    I do have tons of sewing/painting/lighting supplies if anyone needs me to bring any to the other venues...
