Lavender Sugar Scrub from the Spa Party

Thank you to everyone who came out for a fun night of pampering at Amazin' Nails last Thursday.

Our DIY project during the event was a yummy Lavender sugar scrub that was quite a hit. This stuff smells amazing, but is also pretty simple to make. So, if you missed it, or would just like some more, here is the recipe!


1 cup sugar
1/2 cup olive oil or any nut oil (grapeseed or coconut)
2 teaspoons of lavender
Zest from 1 lemon

Directions: Combine Oil with Lavender. You can infuse the oil with the lavender ahead of time if you would like, but it is not necessary. Combine sugar, and lemon zest and mix together with any left over lavender. Pour oil into sugar mixture and stir until completely mixed and they are no pockets of dry sugar. Bottle up and enjoy!

Craft Buffet Brushup

Curious about what all this craft buffet business is about? Well pull up a chair and let us tell you all about it!

The craft buffet is a fantastic excuse to clean out your craft supplies of all the goods that are not pulling your creative strings, and trade them in for new supplies, at least t you. 

Before letting go of your stuff, you'll have your items tallied as to how many credits you get. Big items, 2 credits. Small items, one credit. Then we will eat a bit, chat a bit, and peruse the pile, as each person takes turns picking out their new supplies. 


Bring as many or as few items as you want. The price of the ticket gets you in for the event, light dinner faire, and something lovely to drink. 

Think of it as some creative entertainment, the possibility of new inspiration (maybe grab stuff from a medium you've always wanted to try), and good conversation.

Tickets must be purchased in advance.  Thanks for being considerate!  Still need tickets? Stop by The Fabulous Fabric Shop, or buy online below.

Fabric into Fashion Show Recap

Thank you to everyone who made it out for the very special event that we had last night. We are so proud that we have had the opportunity to showcase the vibrant and creative talent that exists here in Redding. We had a great turnout, and the event was a blast!

Thank you so much to Ruben Porras for documenting this event with your own artistic slant, as all of us were quite busy and forgot to take photos ourselves :)










For more photos from the event, check out the Oh!Carousel Fan page!

We hope to see you at our next events, speaking of which, this Thursday August 12th. We are having a Craft Buffet. What is that you ask? It is a perfect way to come trade in your unused craft supplies for new (at least to you) supplies. Our last Craft Buffet was a total blast, and everyone walked away with new supplies, and an infusion of creativity.

Tickets for the event are $10 and include drinks, light dinner, a chance to recycle unwanted craft supplies, and an overall festive night out.

You can purchase tickets at The Fabulous Fabric shop, or online. Hope to see you there!
