AustinHandmade.com

I am now selling a few items on the Austin Handmade site as well, they just launched in October and represent a “collection of Austin’s finest creative minds from couture to visual art. We offer affordable, well-crafted, unique items all handmade by Austin area artists.

Our products range from limited edition designer toys to one-of-a-kind assemblage art. We also offer custom jewelry, handbags, stationery & clothing.”

Very cute site and nice folks, and I really enjoyed meeting the other artists and seeing their wares in person (the Thingamagoops are really cool).

UPDATED: Maker Faire tickets winners!

Yoshi drew names from a bowl this morning. Two of the winners he drew (Yolanda, and Paul) didn’t leave an email address and have no contact in their blogger profiles… so they have 24 hrs to contact me directly confirming they wants their tickets so I can send them pickup information. If I CAN contact you via email, I will send you a direct message …

To recap,
“I have 5 one day (October 18 or 19th) tickets up for grabs: 2 adult, 2 student (Students age 13-21, or with valid ID), and 1 youth (age 4-12). Kiddos 3 and under get in free and don’t need tickets. The tickets are valid for the appropriate ages – meaning, adults can’t use the youth tickets, etc.”

  • Winner #1: Stacey – 2 adult tickets (she has confirmed)
  • Winner #2: Dr. Ruth – 1 youth ticket – she declined ticket, has already bought what she needed so it goes to the next name drawn…
  • Winner #3: Jen – 1 student (she has confirmed)
  • Winner #4: Yolanda – 1 student (don’t have yer email! Please contact me asap)
  • UPDATE: Winner #5: Paul Hubner – one youth ticket (I don’t have your email, please contact me if you want this ticket!)

Note: If you are not going to use the tickets, let me know asap and I’ll draw another name!

Once you winners email me back to confirm within 24 hours that you want ’em — or contact me, Yolanda and Paul 🙂 I’ll give you the pick up details.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK / SPAM FOLDERS, if I haven’t heard back from you confirming you still want your ticket(s) another name will be drawn!!

Thanks for playing, y’all.
