This is a great article about TEDxCLE which is put on by two really good friends of the DU. Eric and Hallie’s event, TED x CLE has grown to become a force to be reckoned with. And if you feel like getting a little background info on this dynamic duo, below is a link to a video of Eric proposing to Hallie and becoming shall we say, emotional… awwwhhhhh…. We love you guys!
Here is that romantic video… It gets really good at around minute 10. enjoy!
Sean and Dana from DU recently judged Project MOCA and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland. The winning look was designed by Deanna Turcotte, and is being featured in the front window of the Dredgers Union for the next two weeks. Below are some images of Deanna’s look as well as images from the event.
PS… Those are actual beetle wings on the shoulders, and hand dyed ties make up the skirt.
Thank you to everyone who participated in, came to, or even just thought about the first ever Mom & Pop in the 216. Ned from the Dredgers Union took these images on the morning of the second day…
It seems we just had a MADE IN THE 216 event, but it is that time again. At least, for the planning stages of it.

Your favorite vendors will, of course, be back, but in addition we are currently accepting submissions between now and APRIL 15th – (TAX DAY! !!) of new item from Cleveland area based designers/makers/creators/.

So rarely (if ever) do I get political from my business platforms, but I would be remiss if I did not make a point to suggest that whether you come to the Mom & Pop friday from 4-10pm at Dredgers Union or not ( and oh I hope that you do, it is going to be such a cool event and we are so proud of it and so excited for it and want so badly to share it with you all!!!), that you at least go to one of the CLEVELAND MUSIC CLUB COALITION venues Friday night and see live local music in support of stopping the admission tax on live music.
That said, Sean and I are tidying up loose ends, hanging signs, getting ready for the big weekend here and we hope that you are excited too! Because many of your favorite CLE stores – check the list here will be on hand this weekend in one convenient location and with new and SALE merchandise to boot!
See you this weekend!

I haven’t had a chance to really post since this past Sunday’s BBB event held in the event space at DU. I have been busy in NYC on a Buying trip, but I just had to share a few pics from the bridal event as it was a GREAT SUCCESS! To be clear, it was not a Dredgers Union event. The event was conceived by, organzied by and hosted by the lovely ladies of SOMETHING WHITE bridal shop in Independence Ohio.
They did a great job, there was a tremendous turn out and the vendor selection was fantastic. Another great Cleveland event we were proud to be a part of! Thanks ladies and Congrats!

Well, in 2011 when I was in the midst of attending 6 weddings in a 2 month time period, admiring the unique ways people chose to celebrate their own ‘big day’; I had no idea that within a year the tables would be turned and I would be figuring out, alongside my now fiance, Wes, how we wanted to celebrate our own big day!
Having a little experience with planning events, ours is really coming together quite nicely and we are so excited but one can NEVER have enough inspiration! I find myself insatiable for blogs, magazines and personal anecdotes on the topic and boy have I gotten lucky with this week!!
Not only has our own Dredgers Union Women’s Designer: Dana Sobota, recently told the story of her DIY wedding to the Plain Dealer (I attended this gorgeous one-of-a-kind wedding this past labor day weekend and it was stunning!) but this Sunday, Dredgers Union’s lower level will play location host to Cleveland’s 1st BOUTIQUE BRIDAL BAZAAR a DIY Bridal show hosted by the lovely and amazing duo at Something White Bridal Boutique.
Look how beautiful the setting was at Dana’s wedding (of course not half so much so as the bride herself!):
Interested in attending this Sunday’s BOUTIQUE BRIDAL BAZAAR? Then be the first person to leave a comment on our blog stating as much and I have got TWO FREE TICKETS FOR YOU!!!
Get your tickets in advance for this Sunday’s bridal show here: TICKETS

And of course, stay tuned in September 2012 for pics from my own wedding!
