It was a beautiful, sunny, November afternoon, a perfect day for the 2nd annual Easton Made! Easton Made is a fun occasion bringing neighbors, friends and future neighbors together in an outdoor experience to kick off the holiday season and support local makers.
Guests strolled the street and lovely new amenity center, shopping local vendors, indulging in brunch bites and enjoying some fun activities throughout. Kiwi’s Party balloon art was a show-stopper with the kiddos and adults alike, while The Cupcake Bar supplied guests with a sugar-rushed, DIY caramel apple activity. And it’s not a good event without great vibes, Austin favorite DJ Cass&ra had everyone movin’ and groovin’ to festive tunes throughout. Thanks to Silver Cloud, attendees enjoyed using the #EastonMade2019 to snap fun pictures throughout the event and collected their souvenir photos on their way out.
It was time for Saturday brunch! Attendees quenched their thirst with libations provided by awesome sponsors, Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Black Feather Whiskey, while Rambler Sparkling Water and Chameleon Cold-Brew kept everyone hydrated and caffeinated. Ranch Hand and Blenders & Bowls filled everyone up with indulgent bowls and mouthwatering brunch bites.
We were thrilled to triple our Maker’s Market this year, a very big thanks to all of our market vendors that showcased their local made goods! We were proud to see attendees support local businesses, while getting their holiday shopping done! Easton Made is an awesome time to get a kick-start on holiday shopping, and also the perfect opportunity to give back to the community. This year Easton Made proudly partnered with Mobile Loaves & Fishes Community First! Village, a non-profit organization that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for the homeless. Attendees had the opportunity to make donations to the organization, write holiday cards for those in the village, and purchase some of the resident crafts. Easton Made was able to give back in multiple ways and guests were gifted a custom tote bag or tea towel, screen-printed onsite by Goodness Press, a screen-printing business offering ongoing support to the village.
A huge thank you to all vendors, sponsors and attendees that helped make Easton Made 2019 a huge success, we couldn’t make the magic happen without wonderful partners. J.Standard loves working with Eason Park, and this event was certainly a favorite. We are already making big plans for the 3rd annual Easton Made, we can’t wait to see you next year!
