It’s that time of year again, where it seems like almost every day there’s something exciting going on. It’s hard to squeeze it all in sometimes! I’ve got a bunch of events coming up soon, with the first two being a free encore screening of Handmade Nation to celebrate the DVD release of the film and then a handmade home shopping party sponsored by NOLA Eats.
The free film screening of Handmade Nation takes place next Wednesday, November 18 at The Big Top (1638 Clio Street, New Orleans). I’ll have copies of the DVD on hand for sale, but if you need to buy it online, it’s also now available at BuyOlympia.com.
The New Orleans Craft Mafia, myself included, will be doing a craft market to accompany the film screening. The craft market will run from 6-10pm and the movie starts at 8pm. When we did a screening in September at Delgado, courtesy of the Irma Thomas W.I.S.E. Women Center, director Faythe Levine was there and we had a standing room only crowd! This is such a great documentary, so if you haven’t seen it yet, I highly encourage you to come out!
I’ll also be doing a handcrafted shopping party sponsored by my friend Leslie of NOLA Eats on Thursday, November 19 from 7:30-9pm at The Orange Couch (2339 Royal Street, New Orleans). This event is also open to the public, and I’m excited about the venue. I haven’t been there yet, but based on their website, the location looks amazing! I’ll have some new offerings on hand since the last handmade home shopping party I did, including reusable shopping bags by bbbegonia and bath & beauty products from Manor Hall Soap Company. (I swear by their foaming facial cleanser!)
