53rd Annual Zilker Botanical Garden Festival


I am so excited about this weekend. The weather forecast is beautiful it should be 80 on Saturday, and 72 on Sunday. You can not ask for better weather to hang out at an art show. This show is unique in that it is in the Botanical gardens. You get to stroll through an amazing array of plants and flowers, which in itself is a great way to spend the day, but on March 27th and 28th you also get to buy plants, and visit with artists. And we have three Etsy Austin Team members who will be presenting their wares this weekend.

Bandy of PigseyArt.etsy.com makes the greatest journals out of rebound recycled books. It is so fun to watch people find a title that they loved as a kid or one that their grandmother used to read to them. You can see that happy memory wash over their face. She spends hours at book stores looking for titles that may have been thumbed through too often for people to want to read them, and gives them a new life with a new author.



Amy of CraftChi.etsy.com works in lots of different mediums, that all stem from her great ability to draw. She screen prints house wares, accessories, paper, and t-shirts. She also makes rubber stamps, and can create a screen with your design that you can use at home. The organic cloth she uses for her tea towels and pillows make you want to touch them. Her crisp graphics still have a soft flow to them that feel light and bold all at the same time.



You will also see me Megan of demiduval.etsy.com for all of your functional metalworking needs. There will be plenty of new plants you will not be able to leave without. If you need a stainless steel flower pot to put them in please look for me at booth 700.
