The Dallas Flea

Hi folks! I have been lame about blogging the last two months- so sorry about that! Computer issues, etc. but I promise that you will be getting some new posts very soon with amazing handmade items. Please, if you're in the DFW area, stop by The Dallas Flea tomorrow to see some of the amazing local artists! I promise you'll have a great time!

Spring Bash Show

If you live in Dallas (or close to) you need to come by the Etsy Dallas Spring Bach this Saturday.  It's free admission and will be loads of fun! From 11am-5pm at SouthSide of Lamar! Hope to see you there!

Recent Shows: Pictures

Here are some pictures of my booth and products from a recent show.  The venue had weird lighting so on my husband's iphone, there is a greenish hue to the pictures.  But this is the best we could do! Enjoy!

D made me get in the picture: this is right before the show started.  Needless to say, I lost the fur vest shortly after this was taken-

My new sign: homage to my fabric based cards- what could be more fitting?

Sign in table with my tablecloth I sewed all by my lonesome

All my fabric cards and note cards (all those boxes are painted now)

Organic baby clothing

The Dallas FLEA: Saturday, MArch 26th

Come on by for a great day of shopping! The Paper Nest Co. will be there with some new designs! 

Stop by and say hello!

Chi Omega Christmas Market 2010

So, we just finished my first Chi Omega show in Dallas- it's one of the largest of the holiday shows and with it being my first year to experience the Holiday season with my company, it was a great experience! I want to give a shout out to all my friends and family that helped me during those long four days! First, my darling husband that is there for me with whatever I need and brought it all in, carried it out and helped me set it up! Even when I ran out of a certain thread, he was at Joann Fabrics, texting me pictures to see if it was the correct color- so cute on so many levels- first a man at Joann Fabrics! But to everyone else that took time out of their busy schedules: Candy, Lindsey, Alicia, Nikki, Brandi, Bekah, Sarah, Jen, Allison and Jessica- THANK YOU!!

I've decided to include some pictures of my booth at Chi Omega to show you the "feel" of my company as I'm continuing to brand it.  Being "the paper nest co." gives me the opportunity to express my love of nature, combined, of course, with the Tiffany Blue! I've been working so hard for the past few months trying to get everything to tie in together for upcoming shows.  From the furniture to the tablecloth to the bird nest business card holders, I think I'm finally done...until I find another darling bird cage that I just have to have! Enjoy!

My fabric folded card available in packs or singles. Stored in
wooden planters and available in bird, butterfly, heart and dragonfly

"Card tree" displaying fabric folded cards and card clothesline

My barn wood shelves hold all the organic
onesies beautifully and keep them organized

A great find from my awesome sis-in-law, this
bakers rack is the perfect blue and holds all my fabric notecards

Clothesline displaying all the different designs of the baby onesies

One of my favorites! The bib tree- how perfect to tie in the outdoor theme and hold all the organic bibs!

I found these little bird hooks and had to have them to
hold samples on the side of the shelving unit.  Perfect!
Displayed with one of my brand new designs- and one of
the best sellers!

view as you walk up the "the paper nest co."

These were my tabletop displays- inside these
bird cages were my personalized samples: cards, bibs and onesies for special order.

The Dallas FLEA part 2: pictures

Here are some pictures from some of the most popular items that I sold at the FLEA as well as my booth...

Organic baby bibs make a perfect gift for a new mom

(or keep it for yourself)

especially when you coordinate it with a matching organic baby onesie

- it's the perfect pair- just like you and your baby

Everyone loved these fabric cards that are sold in packs or as singles.

My "bib tree" was a fun way to display my organic baby bibs by colors

and designs and in keeping with the theme of The Paper Nest Co.

We had a great turnout for the June 12th Dallas FLEA at SouthSide on Lamar! There were many great vendors represented there and an abundance of shopping! If you missed this one, be sure to catch the next one in a few months.
