I loved, loved, loved the raspberry shortcake cookies! Was so nice to see a great community of other crafty moms out in full force ~ and on a beautiful, sunny, east van kind of day!
I'm working on having a shop up for fall http://www.etsy.com/people/...

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!!!

I don't have an etsy shop (I wish I did!) but I did pass out raspberry shortbread cookies.
Posted by Stace June 18, 2010 at 5:59 PMIt was a nice day to walk around and meet people!
I am a dufus and didn't notice when I signed up that it was in the afternoon and was stuck at the 9 to 5er. Sorry I missed out on all the crafty goodness... maybe next time!

Posted by Dee-Ann June 18, 2010 at 5:26 PMWow - 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.
Posted by Steph June 18, 2010 at 4:46 PMI can't make it now :(, but hoping you all have a fabulous time!!!
Posted by Holly Anne Shields Halter June 18, 2010 at 1:58 PMdid we win some swag from etsy HQ?? :) I hope to make it there with the wee one!
Posted by Tanis June 14, 2010 at 9:11 AMI didn't realise the gathering was in a store. I thought it was at someone's home, oops. I will not be bringing vino. :)
Posted by Stoli Gal June 7, 2010 at 6:59 PMI will bring my raspberry shortbread with white chocolate cookies!
Posted by Stace June 6, 2010 at 9:55 AMCool idea, are people planning to bring stuff to trade? What are you planning to bring and how many?
Posted by Misti Ko June 6, 2010 at 9:12 AMI might bring some sample hair accessories ...trade them for cupcakes, hehe :) I'm bringing vino too ;)
Posted by Stoli Gal June 5, 2010 at 8:34 PMSweet! If I'm feeling ambitious I might bake some cookies too ;)
Posted by Rita June 4, 2010 at 1:03 PMCan I bring my kids?

: )
Let's hope that it's a sunshiney day and we can spread out into the little park on 15th!
Posted by monnibo June 1, 2010 at 1:45 PMWOW how are we going to fit everyone?! Is food allowed on site? If yes I'll bring lemon cupcakes, if not I'll bring myself. :)
Posted by Rita June 1, 2010 at 1:30 PMI 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...
