7th Annual Last Stop Shop!

by nocmadmin on December 24, 2012

Somehow we’ve made it 7 years without any good photos of our annual event. We decided to change that this year and Miss Malaprop brought her camera and enlisted her bestie, Ash in Fashion, to help snap some pics.

This year we also had a Stormtrooper to help spread some holiday fun. Here is David with a matching shaving kit case by Kendra of Bonga-Chop Designs.

The New Orleans Craft Mafia is once again teaming up to provide you with unique last-minute handmade holiday shopping, and this year we’re offering an extra chance to shop local!

On Thursday, December 20th from 5-9pm you can join us for our 7th Annual Last Stop Shop holiday marketplace at The Big Top (1638 Clio Street, between St. Charles Avenue and Carondelet Street).

We’re once again offering a chance to win a Christmas tree full of handmade holiday ornaments, with proceeds to benefit Craft Emergency Relief Fund, plus there will be additional giveaways to be won! This year we’re starting an hour earlier, to make it easy to stop by right after work. We’ll have free snacks on hand, plus a cash bar, to help you get your last-minute holiday gifts in order. Emily Manger Davis of Sweet Olive Soap Works will also be on hand to help you make your own holiday gift soaps!

One week prior, you can also find us in the heart of the St. Claude Arts District for a new Downtown Holiday Market. We’ll be at Byrdie’s (2422A Saint Claude Avenue) on Thursday, December 13 from 8-11pm, where we’ll be joined by some of Byrdie’s own resident clay and ceramics artists. We’ll also have free drinks, courtesy of Lost Love Lounge / Bon Castor, and free snacks for a very festive atmosphere!
