TONIGHT! January 11th, 2012 from 9pm until midnight at Akbar it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Teapot Treat Holders with Treats!
$2 Processing fee, please!
$4 Cosmopolitans! The Akbar Cosmo: Like a Good neighbor, cosmos are there!
Have you ever gazed longingly at your teapot and thought “Gee, what a drag, I wish this thing was made out of cardboard and full of candy. Guess I’ll have to settle for hot tea in a boring ceramic kettle.” Well have I got news for you! No longer is your reverie stuck in the land of fiction, it is REAL! No longer will you be stuck in the long dark tea time of the soul, you have landed in Clover, it is a charmed life you lead. How can I tell?
This week’s craft kit is not just tea time, but TREAT time!
I’ll hand you your selection of goods that helps you to create a winsome little getup involving a container that LOOKS like a teapot that is ACTUALLY a container for candy, or teabags, or condoms or um… spices, you know, whatever’s around that needs a handy storage spot!
And do not DO NOT DO. NOT…Tell me you’re not going to come in here and make a teapot treat holder because you’re trying to get all streamlined and adult and “done with clutter.” Crafts have everything to do with clutter and nothing to do with creating harmonious feng shui for your minimalistic immaculate home. If you are certain that owning one of these beauties is going to harsh your mellow or make you feel a smidgen of ill-defined disquietude… then make one, fill it with treats and give it away!
I promise it’ll be a hit, I even grabbed some discount candies to give it that authentic feel of when you’d visit a waiting room or a bank in the 70s or 80s (when people in businesses actually kept candy dishes) and get a FREE piece of candy just for visiting! Maybe you can use it at your work, or your swank hi-rise apartment. Bring the “free candy” tradition back! Make it the focal point of a cozy kitchen nook, it’s the pinnacle of hospitality! Just make sure you use up or replace the candies frequently, otherwise you replicate the other residual memory of offices in the 70s and 80s: free CRAPPY and STALE candy that no one ever wants.
It’s our second CraftNight of the year, and if I don’t say so myself, we’re starting with some very strong crafts, don’t miss this one!
See you at the Craft Table!
