Attention Portlanders (and those nearby)!

So, I was thinking. It might be fun to have some kind of event in the next few months. I don’t want to say too much yet since it’s still in the planning stages, but it’ll be a fun, celebratory, mainly social event. Just a chance to hang out, maybe have some food and drink. Maybe do a fabric / notions swap. Something like that.

I thought I would check in with you guys ahead of time and see if you’d be interested in such a thing? Or in other local events we might plan?

If you think you might be interested, I’d love it if you’d add your name / email to my list of locals! That way I can contact you with details later without crowding up the blog too much.

This list is just for us to announce occasional local events, we won’t send you other emails. I imagine you won’t get more than a handful of emails a year, if that. Also, there will be a link in every email to unsubscribe if you move or decide you don’t want to hang out with us.

I’m not a local (yet) but my husband travels there a few times a month for work, and we are working on moving there permanently, so I hope that’s ok to join the list!

Although I’m a bit south of Portland, I would love to attend a gathering of some kind!

I am on the other side of the mountains and waaaaay down by CA. BUT, I will make a weekend of any chance to go to the big city.

I’m a Portland native and come back at least once a year. I *might* be in the area at the end of August/beginning of September. Would love to meet up and definitely add me to your list!

Thanks for joining up, Portlanders and neighbors! I’ll put out another call later on, once we have some more details worked out.

What a fabulous idea! I’ve been in Portland for a year now, but it still feels like I just moved here there are so many fun things I discover every day. And of course I would love to make some more crafty friends!

Hi,

It will be fun to come for a fabric/notion swap event. Being a mom to a three year old I would prefer a weekend so my husband can baby sit my kidoo.

I would love to not only join in the fun, but offer to help with any hosting/supporting duties you may need. Modern Domestic has a nice amount of space if you need it, as well as all sorts of tools and gear to use. Let me know if any of this can be of help to your event. Thanks!
