Etsy Austin: Austin {Outdoor}Handmade Market & SXSW

Etsy was at SXSW (South By Southwest) last year with a screenprinting demonstration, and I can’t wait to see what the pairing of Etsy & SXSW brings for 2009. Etsy is a community of independent artist, crafters & artisans, much like the independent spirit that is found in SXSW.
