Miss Malaprop's Handcrafted Home Shopping Party

Just a quickie for the locals:

I know many of you come see me pretty regularly out at the markets and are familiar with what I make/sell, and you know the wares of many of my crafty friends, but this is an event not to miss. My friend Mallory, aka Miss Malaprop, is having a crafty home shopping party tomorrow night (Wednesday, 7pm-9pm) and I'm gonna be there, along with a smorgasbord of local crafty folks. Think of it as a Tupperware party except crafts, and in a more intimate setting than a market, with light snacks and alcoholic beverages.

Mallory herself has started selling a smattering of other folks' eclectic crafty wares from across the country, in addition to her own awesome re/de-constructed fashion (which I'm happy to see her getting back to). She hopes to one day soon open a shop, and this is the beginning phase of that. So trust me, it won't just be the same old stuff. Also, most of the locals are stepping it up right about now, heading into gift-buying season, so there will be lots of new and interesting items.

Mallory lives in Midcity not far from my house, so if you're interested, leave me a comment with your email if I don't have it or just email me and I'll give you the address. I think it will be fun and a good way to start getting ideas for your holiday shopping needs.

Also, it's early in the evening, so even if you are planning to head to the Mangos With Chili event later, consider this the pre-party. Fun, casual, low key shopping and hanging out with crazy creative types. And me!

You can read all about the event here on the Miss Malaprop Newsletter.

Hope to see you there!
