Ok, I am a bit of an Etsy fanatic, so when I heard that they were rolling into town as part of their Etsy West Coast Tour, I was super excited! Went to a coffee house beforehand to meet some of the crafty lady posse (the usual suspects - Track and Field and The Beautiful Project), where we all got a chance to meet Jan from Poppytalk as well as Etsy's Maria (the CEO) and Anda - all such nice and lovely ladies! At the meet up at Cambrian Hall, Maria and Anda were joined by Matt, where they all gave a little talk and had Q &A, while the rest of us nibbled on snacks.One of my fave things of the event was meeting and seeing all the faces behind all the local etsy shops and blogs; we all got to wear name tags, so that made things much easier (a big Hi to everyone I met yesterday!!). Oh yah, and I also scored this cute souvenir scarf from the event! I will frame it and hang it on my wall and never wash it... ok... kidding... I'm not that fanatical, but I am happy I got one... woop woop! The tour is continuing on to Portland and San Fran, so check it out if you can!

That sounds like it was fun!!
That is so cool!!! There's no way they'll ever come to North Dakota. I'll just have to wait till I move somewhere big for grad school.
What an awesome opportunity! I would love to sit in on one of those Q&A's!!!
That is awesome, I wish they new where ALbuquerque New Mexico was...sadly they will never seem my smiling face. :) Cool post!
Sounds like a blast!! Lucky you!
I love it!! That would be so fun. So wishing I was back in the west for a bit. xoxo ( I think it may be just me but I couldn't get the last two links to work.)
Thanks for letting me know! I fixed the links! ;)
I was running from a pup mix this AM ruins my whole day.Yesterday I saw a guy with 2 pit/cattle shepherds!
Oh yay! That sounds like so much fun.
Wish I could have made it!
It was nice to run into you there and put a face to the blog and shop ;) -Tea (aka sugar lotus)

Sounds so fun!! I wish there was an East Coast Tour and they could visit me in Pompano Beach, Florida!! :)
oh, i wish i'd have had the chance to meet you! i wasn't able to stick around to say hi to everyone, but got to meet matt, anda + maria. what a fun evening + nice to hear what's up for etsy!
Portland? Did you say Portland...as in Oregon? When is the tour here? Good to know. :)
sounds like a blast! i wish wish wish i could have come yesterday... but i will live vicariously (and probably ogle your scarf!). ;-)
I didn't even know they were doing this, but it sounds like lots of fun! I think it would be so neat to meet not only the people behind etsy, but also the nearby sellers. I wonder if they'll come through Oklahoma (lol).
I was there last night too and I wish I had met you in person. I got a bad case on shyness and nerves even with our name tags and I slipped out early. Next time.
this would've been great! i hope the head our way :)
That sounds like fun! How nice to be able to put faces on some Etsy shops! :)
Oh so jealous! Sounds like fun :)
I'm so bummed I couldn't make it to the meeting - glad to hear it was good times!
Aaahhh! wish i could have been there...

Oh lucky you! I wish Etsy would do a tour of Australia!!!
