SXSW Event: Commodore Von Keepsie's Craftacular Musical Carnivale

Funky Finds is very excited to be sponsoring an event being held during South By Southwest (SXSW), an annual music, film, & interactive conference & festival held in Austin, Texas. For the last 3 years, Standard Recording Company has been throwing free day party events at SXSW featuring great music & good food. Two years ago, Martha Latta of Sunday Afternoon Housewife suggested they combine indie rock with indie craft. With sponsors like Sublime Stitching and Craftster helping with make-and-takes, how could they go wrong? Of course, it was a huge hit, so they decided to continue the tradition this year.

This year's event, Commodore Von Keepsie's Craftacular Musical Carnivale, will be bigger and better (being in Texas, it must be BIG!). Graham's Texas Tea and Treaty Oak Rum are pouring the free drinks. Bust Magazine has signed on to be the national media sponsor. Hello Craft is sponsoring make & takes, ProvoCraft / Yudu will be there screening free shirts & tote bags for attendees, and 15 unique indie crafters will be selling their hand-crafted wares.

If you are interested in attending the event on Friday, March 18, between Noon and 8pm, at the Gypsy Lounge, you need to RSVP online. Please note, this will be an all-ages event. This is a great opportunity to hear some cool music, create something yourself, and purchase unique hand-crafted items! Oh, and grab some Funky Finds swag while you're at it!

Funky Finds Spring Fling Vendors Continued

I am still working on featuring the many talented artists, crafters & designers that participated in the 2nd Annual Funky Finds Spring Fling!

2enju features beautifully hand-crafted apparel & accessories by Julie McCollough Kim. Her handbags are chic, yet durable, and I have enjoyed mine immensely. Julie's clothing designs are gorgeous and are sure to make anyone stand out from the crowd. In addition to being a talented designer, Julie owns Make Shop & Studio in Dallas. She offers a wide variety of workshops, including stamp making and screen printing. I took a beginner sewing class at Make that was very easy to follow and I walked away with a beautiful handbag I created! Julie also produces several great events in Dallas, such as The Pin Show and Urban Street Bazaar.

Alicia Snow, aka AJSnow, offers many cute items that make perfect gifts - for yourself or a loved one. I love the dress form journal that is hand-sewn and hand-bound. The appliqued hand towels make perfect housewarming or bridal shower gifts. And the Beach Towel Totes are perfect for summer. Check out Alicia's blog for more information and updates.

Cindy Willingham of Revel Designs is an endless source of inspiration. She frequently posts helpful information on her blog, as well as the Etsy Fort Worth blog, such as how to reuse old frames and the science of craft show displays. Cindy designs a wide array of items, including jewelry and beautiful patchwork notebooks.

At our spring event, we enjoyed live music by Tahni Handal and Vance Abeyta. Their performances throughout the day really added something special to the event. I hope you'll take some time to listen to the music on Tahni's MySpace. She also has a calendar notating her upcoming performances around Texas.
