Autumn 2011 ABCD Meetup!



We’d love to invite you to the Autumn 2011 Brisbane ABCD meetup: Friday April 15th 2011 from 7–9pm.

Created for artists, crafters and designers who blog, ABCD meetup is a casual get-together to encourage those of us who are more comfortable behind our computers to get out and meet some of our fellow design and art lovers.

After ABCD co-founder Steph from Bondville sadly left us to move to Sydney, I now have a new partner in crime to host the Brissy meetups ~ a very warm welcome to Lou from looseleaf.paper!

The looseleaf concept was created whilst travelling the globe for many years and collecting beautiful treasures along the way. On returning home we set out to create an artisan design aesthetic that was prominent all over Europe and bring it back to our shores - and so looseleaf.paper was born in 2010. With a love of all things paper, we design & create handmade stationery, jewellery & interiors products. Our ethos is to be as eco-friendly as possible by using recycled, upcycled & locally sourced materials. We love what we do so ensure that every collection has a story to tell.

For the Autumn 2011 meetup we'll be returning to Bar Alto at the Powerhouse in New Farm which has great parking, easy access to the bar, bar food, coffee and tea that you can order throughout the evening.

Details: Autumn 2011 Brisbane ABCD Meet-up
When: 7pm - 9pm, Friday 15th of April, 2011
Where: Bar Alto ~ Powerhouse, New Farm, Brisbane
RSVP: via the ABCD Facebook page or email us at BrisbaneABCD@gmail.com

ABCD Goodie Bag
The ABCD meetup goodie bag is a great way to share a little about yourself and help your new friends remember you after the event. At the last meetup the goodie bags were chock-full of handmade goodies and sweet momentos. If you would like to join in and make something for the goodie bag, please comment "GOODIE BAG" along with your RSVP by the 8th of April, so we know how many we'll need. Goodie bags will only be provided for those who participate.

Please keep an eye on the blog, Facebook page or make sure you are subscribed to the mailing list, as we will notify you how many goodies to make exactly before the event.

Business card draw
Please also remember to bring along plenty of businesscards to share with everyone you meet on the night ~ regardless of whether you choose to participate in the goodie bag! We’ll have a businesscard draw on the night with a fun prize to be won from both looseleaf.paper and Kim Wallace ceramics so don’t forget!

More about ABCD Meetups:
ABCD stands for [Artists + Bloggers + Crafters + Designers] and the quarterly meet-ups are an informal way to meet other folks with similar interests in the online space. Rather than being a networking event, these are simply a few quiet drinks with other creative bods; a chance to make a friend or two, and be inspired by what others are doing. 


You can find photos and posts about previous ABCD meetups on the Facebook page, as well as on Bondville and Udessi.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Kim Wallace (Udessi) and Lou (looseleaf.paper
