Richmond Loves Raleigh: A Valentine Craft Affair

Do you know how cool it is to find like minded people? I do! My fellow Richmond Craft Mafia familia. I feel very lucky to have found a group of crafty, talented and fun people to hang around with. Do you know how cool times 2 it is to find a whole separate group of crafty, talented and fun people to be around? The cool and talented Handmaidens. Bring them together in the same place for a joint event in Richmond? Freak'n Fantastic!

So nice, we are doing it twice!! If you can't make it to the event in Richmond, Richmond Craft Mafia is heading down the road for Raleigh Loves Richmond, February 10th. The Handmaiden's are doing the hosting in Raleigh, NC at:
Vintage 21
February 10th
12pm to 5pm
209 Oberlin Road, Raleigh, NC
