Spa Party this Thursday!

Our Spa party is this Thursday night! We are excited for a night of pampering and relaxation! Come enjoy an express pedicure and learn how to make your own lavender lemon sugar scrub. We made up a sample for the craft party at Sweetspot last Friday and it smells like a little piece of paradise.

Tickets are $20, and we do request that you buy them in advance so that we bring enough goodies for everyone. You can get tickets here on the blog, or in person at The Fabulous Fabric Shop, Sweetspot, or Amazin Nails. We have three sessions to choose from, 5-6, 6-7, and 7-8.

The Fashion Show is fast approaching, and now it is time for all the magical mice and bluebirds to come out and help with all the finishing touches. Oh, if only we all lived in Cinderella Land!

We can not wait to see you, this Friday 7-9pm at the Shasta Center Parking lot, you are sure to be amazed by all of the amazing talent that Redding has to offer.

June Spa Party Update

We're sorry to say that the June Spa Party has been rescheduled for late July.  Tickets will be available soon.  Until then, be on the lookout for some other fun things we're doing to round out the rest of this month...

First up is the this month's Sweet DIY on Thursday, June 24th.  Tickets can be purchased online via Paypal (no PP account needed) on the right sidebar. 

More fun stuff announced soon!

We all love a good sale

Stop by Sweetspot tomorrow (Saturday, May 8) any time and score an amazing deal on event tickets.  I believe you'll be able to get them as a "Buy one, get one half off" deal." 

See you then!

The Craft Buffet

Oh boy, oh boy!  The Craft Buffet is coming your way! 

Sweetspot, The Fabulous Fabric Shop, and ReddingHandmade have teamed up yet again for the first ever Craft Buffet! On Thursday, May 13th, you and all your crafty pals can trade in old craft supplies and get something new (at least to you!). And not only will we be hosting the swap, but we'll also be serving up some light dinner faire.

What sort of items are game for trading? How about anything that you can make a handmade project out of. Buttons, fabric, vintage findings, beads, paper, tools. If you can create something out of it, it is worthy of being offered up at the Craft Buffet!

There's only one rule of thumb to partake of the Craft Buffet: please judge your stuff in accordance with the types and quality of things you'd like to take home yourself. Because, what goes around, comes around.

Your ticket price will include drinks, light dinner faire, a chance to recycle unwanted craft supplies, and an overall festive night out. Mark your calendar for the 4th Thursday of the month as this is a reoccurring event.

Admission of $10 must be prepaid via Paypal prior to event as we need to know how much food to provide. Payment due date is May 10th, but spaces are very limited...

Buy tickets now! Quantities are limited!

What is Oh!Carousel?

Oh!Carousel is a collaboration of some completely creative and fairly crafty business owners here in Redding.  We all have an intense love of engaging events, new ideas, and innovation.

Our mission is simple.  We love to support our local businesses by having as much fun as possible and by using as much spunk as we can muster.  We do that by offering local girls' night out events, small business workshops, DIY classes, and shopping experiences.  It is our way of connecting people, products, and ideas that wouldn't normally have the opportunity to come together. 

The name developed out of our desire to rotate our good ideas and concepts throughout Redding.  To us, a carousel evokes thoughts of joy, excitement, and whimsy.  We took from that idea and we are making it our own.  We are coordinating, and developing concept events that are both fun and creative and we are loving every moment of it!

So, enough about us.  Just make a date with a girlfriend on Thursday nights and see what fun we have in store for you! 

Events kickoff on Thursday, May 6th with Rotations.  ReddingHandmade is cohosting the event at Sweetspot from 7pm to 9pm.  Four local handmade designers will be featuring and selling their work.  Designers include Chrystalyn, Julie Packer Designs, Oh Baby! Redding, and NCharshaf's Handmade Notebooks & Stationery.
