Spirit of Thanksgiving


As you and your loved ones make the final preparations to celebrate Thanksgiving together tomorrow, we wanted to remind you of another reason to be thankful.  Through generous donations over the years, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has made many breakthroughs that we all get to spend many more Thanksgivings with those we love and cherish.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society funds research across the continuum, from basic research through clinical trials, from bench to bedside. To date, we have invested more than $1 billion in research to advance therapies and save lives. LLS research grants have funded many of today's most promising advances, including targeted therapies and immunotherapies and some of the therapies first approved for blood cancer patients are now helping patients with other types of cancers and other serious diseases. Thanks to research and access to better treatments, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled and even quadrupled since 1960. (http://www.lls.org/#/aboutlls/researchsuccesses/)
As a team, we have been touched by the diseases The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society strives to cure in more ways than one. Our dear team member Melinda had it hit home when her husband was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma.   Melinda was key in starting our venture into the market world last year and we have dedicated our 2nd Annual ATXartisans Holiday Market in honor of Melinda and her husband.  You can read about their personal experiences here.

We welcome you, if you feel compelled to do so, to make a donation of any dollar amount directly to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  Team members have generously donated many great handmade items for our Silent Auction, so come out to our market on Sunday, November 30th to donate and take home a great piece as well.

Hope you and yours have a safe and happy holiday and we would love to see you at the market!

Welcome to ATX Artisans

Welcome!

First, let me tell you a little about our team.  Our team consists of various types of sellers with Etsy shops.  We cover all areas of handmade and vintage and full-time to hobby-turned-part-time.  As a team, we formed through Etsy as a way to support each other with any questions we encounter along the way.  We previously used the name Etsy ATX but have recently made the transition to ATX Artisans to reflect our identity better.

Over time we have formed relationships that have taken us into the community through craft shows, monthly markets, and even our own holiday market last year.  Currently we are putting together plans for our second Holiday Market which will take place on Sunday, November 30, 2014 - the Sunday after Thanksgiving.  We will provide the community with an alternative to the Black Friday big box store shopping with unique, one of a kind finds for your holiday gift giving.

Soon we will have a post with Etsy shop links for our current ATX Artisans team members.  We invite you to take time out to visit these shops online and see what we have to offer.  Shopping local and handmade is important to our economy and who doesn't appreciate a gift made with personal attention and care.

Thanks for stopping by!

~Amanda (Team Captain)
