This Weekend's Agenda

Saturday, December 17, 2011 from noon until 5 at Revolution Live, 100 SW 3rd Ave, Fort Lauderdale is the Indie Craft Bazaar "Let it Sew!" craft show.  The timing couldn't be better for shopping for holiday gifts so make sure to come on out and support local artists and crafters.  There will be over 60 of us there peddling our handiwork.
Or, if Saturday doesn't work for you, there is a Last Minute shopping option at Undergrounds Coffeehaus from 2-8.  You will find Undergrounds at 3020 North Federal Highway, Unit 5a - look for the Mardi Gras Balcony - next to Robert Hittel books in the Hi-Life Plaza - Plaza 3000

16 Days until the Odd Duck Bazaar

I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am about this year's Odd Duck!  Ok, I'll try.  I've already been losing sleep over it and it is still 16 days away.  Last year's event was fun but this year we've added so many new things that I cannot wait to see it all come into place.  Last year we had 62 vendors, this year we have over 80.  Last year we had one (very talented) guy put on an acoustic performance.  This year we have three bands!
Last year we had two rooms packed full of vendors of handmade art & crafts, this year we've added a full 50 foot tent and a tiki hut into the mix.
Awesome thing is, we were able to add all this extra stuff and still keep the admission price the same as last year.  Only 5 bucks and the parking is free.
We are located in the same place as last year, the Old Davie School museum located not far west of the Turnpike and East of University on Griffin Road.  Get there early because the first 100 people to pay their admission get a free hand-screen printed re-usable tote bag.
See you Saturday April 9th at noon!

mini Odd Duck Retro and Geek Show - fliers are out!

Update on the mini Odd Duck Retro and Geek show....
If you haven't already heard, the Hollywood Craft Mafia is mixing up the craft show style by hosting a mini show on November 13th.  What is a mini show, you ask?  We have carved out a little bit of space in two businesses in the same plaza and are bringing in local (and some not-so-local) artists & crafters to show & sell some great handmades.  We didn't want to limit your selection, so we limited the size of the table.  Each vendor has a small area to show off their geeky-est or retro-est merchandise from their inventory.  Whether you are coming out for the retro crafts or the geek, you'll want to check them both out. Retro is housed inside Jezebel and you'll find the Geek stuff inside Radio-Active records.  And, convient for you... they are in the same shopping plaza on E. Sunrise Blvd in Fort Lauderdale.

Why not go ahead and head over to one (or both) of these great locations and pick up one of our fliers?!?!

Mini Odd Duck Retro and Geek Show

I'm sure you are familiar with the Odd Duck Bazaar that we host in the spring, but one show a year just wasn't enough for the Hollywood Craft Mafia, so we are adding another to our calendar, November 13th.  We wanted to break out of the craft show mold (well, a little bit at least) by doing a specialized, mini show.  This show will be held in 2 locations that are in the same plaza on Sunrise Blvd in Fort Lauderdale, Jezebel Vintage and Radio-Active Records.
Inside Jezebel you will find our mini Retro show, and our mini Geek show will be at Radio-Active. 
We'll be talking more about this in the future, so check back or friend us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to keep up with the action.

Apply to Vend at the show HERE application deadline Sept. 10, 2010

Join the Hollywood Craft Mafia for a Movie Night in Fort Lauderdale

Awhile back, the Hollywood Craft Mafia girls got together for a movie night in one of our member's living room.  We had snacks and relaxed on her big comfy couch to watch this fantastic documentary about the Indie Craft 'Scene' called "Handmade Nation".  We had such a great time.  No work, no planning for future events.  Just enjoyed a night together.
BUT... being the planners and big thinkers that we are, we couldn't resist but to plan a night to do it again, but this time... invite everyone.  The whole idea of being a part of the Craft Mafia is to spread the craft love, so that is exactly what we did.  We teamed up with a great little independent local coffee shop for a free movie night.  Just show up, enjoy the movie and some free popcorn. 
Brew Cafe is, of course, open for business and the Craft Mafia girls and I will have some of our handcrafts on display for sale as well so if you are just dying to spend some money, there will be ways to do that.

So, we'll see you there tomorrow night at 8...
