Just moments ago my heart skipped a beat and a warm flush came over my entire body at reading the joyous news that crafting in Atlanta is being taken to the next level. The Museum of Contemporary Handmade Art will not only be the home of handmade delights, but will also have a small cafe as well. Oh! Mocha. Ok, I just got it… Clever ones, they are. The museum should be opening at the Irwin Street Market sometime late this month if all goes according to plan. My first thought was that this was going to be a bit redundant seeing how many crafting resources Atlanta has already, but I think considering the 11:11 Teahouse is now defunct as a tea shop, this will be able to fill that void and become a lovely addition to the crafting community.
In case you haven’t seen Handmade Nation yet, here is a little clip.
