Etsy Denton

Another Saturday dedicated to hand-crafted art. Going to these fairs is everything wonderful and inspiring. But, as a responsible crafter, I left my wallet at home for this one, knowing that a day at Etsy Denton is not really part of my budget this month. I LOVED all the ideas and creativity I saw though and was SO close to darting out of that building and running the two blocks home so I could sit at my sewing machine and start cranking out creative projects.

Etsy Denton, I’ll see you in June!
