Well, we packed up the Labs and headed down to Richmond, VA this past weekend to represent Etsy at the Centerville Pumpkin Festival!  What an eventful day it was with so many familiar talented Etsy sellers, a pumpkin patch, hay maze, alpacas in their finest costumes, bounce house, fire truck tours, festival food, and some of the cutest kids we'd ever seen!  I would say it took about 8 hours total to stuff all 200 Etsy swag bags full of your goodies and samples that were sent in, but it was well worth it when we saw people rushing to get their hands on them!

A huge thank you to all of you that came out, said hello, and introduced yourselves.  One of our favorite parts about working for Etsy is getting to match faces with shop names and avatars.  It is such a treat getting to see more and more Etsians setting up shop at so many craft shows all over, and this weekend, boy did we get to see a lot!  I always love getting to see shop displays in person and recognizing so many pieces from the Etsy website that I see everyday.

The weather couldn't have been any better, and we even got to get off our feet and eat lunch picnic style.  I'll say yes to that anytime!

See you next year Centerville Pumpkin Festival!
