Sponsor Spotlight: The Shops at Park Lane
This year, Etsy Dallas is pleased to welcome The Shops at Park Lane as a presenting sponsor of the 5th Annual Spring Bash. Located in the heart of midtown Dallas, The Shops at Park Lane pairs the best in stylish shopping with distinctive dining and entertainment options, in a modern urban environment. They’re a perfect fit for our Spring Bash.
On Bash day, in addition to all the handmade goodness happening in the big white tent, you’ll meet some of The Shops’ premier tenants. Gordon Biersch is our official beer provider and Whole Foods (the largest Whole Foods in North Dallas!) is sponsoring a DIY make-and-take craft table. And many shops are offering deals in conjunction with the Spring Bash--just ask!
What’s so great about this year’s location for the Bash is you can make a day of it. Our Spring Bash vendors will be open from 11-7, but before that you can stroll through some of the flagship stores, maybe get a mani/pedi, take your kids to play on an on-site playground. After the Bash, you can grab some groceries or just meet up with a few friends and compare Bash finds at one of the five restaurants on site. (And that’s not including the food and fun to be had at Bowl and Barrel.)
Located directly across Central from North Park Center, The Shops at Park Lane is a destination for fun and great finds; add the Spring Bash to the mix and you’re guaranteed a fabulous Saturday. Oh yeah, there’s plenty of free, on-site parking!
You’ll find Etsy Dallas on the green, adjacent to Dick’s and Gordon Biersch on Saturday, April 27 from 11am-7pm. Check The Shops at Park Lane’s website for store directories and maps!
Making the Holidays at Bookmarks
We will be at Bookmarks--a Dallas Public Library inside NorthPark Center from 2:00pm-3:00pm, Saturday, December 15. Proceeds from this event will go towards the Dallas Public Library system. Crafts will be kid-friendly and range from easy to make ornaments, to more advanced colorful tape cards.
NorthPark is a great stop on your holiday shopping and activity list, with lots to see and do for the whole family. Why not stop by Bookmarks between 2:00-3:00pm to spend some time with the Etsy Dallas team?
