We had a wonderful time last winter at the Richmond Craft Mafia’s Handmade Holiday fair, and later shared some of our favorite finds. When we heard about their Spring Bada-Bing event, we were eager to team up again. The result was a curated handmade prize pack showcasing the talents of several active Richmond Craft Mafia members. The full prize package totals over $350 in value and features an assortment of handcrafted goods—from textiles and jewelry to ceramics and printed art. Even if you couldn’t make it to Richmond for the show, this giveaway let you take a piece of the River City’s creative energy home.
Below is a summary of the handmade items included in the prize pack. Each piece was provided by a local maker and reflects careful, small-batch craftsmanship:
- An eco-friendly flower pillow from Nicole Lee Design, with the winner’s choice of flower color—a sustainable, decorative cushion made from quality materials.
- A custom-made Birdie Mini-Bowl from Tasha McKelvey, a charming handcrafted ceramic piece ideal for trinkets, jewelry, or small snacks.
- Two festive banners from Modern June: one Oilcloth Party Banner and one Chalk Cloth Party Banner—perfect for seasonal decorating or special occasions.
- A pair of clover earrings from KShonk Designs, handcrafted jewelry with a playful, wearable design (KShonk’s home was even featured in one of our House Crashing posts).
- A custom-colored headband for adult or child from Silver Tree Art, paired with your choice of a wisdom card for a thoughtful, wearable keepsake.
- Any hand-painted silk scarf (up to $62) from Crystal J. Silk, including whimsical designs such as the playful “bacon” scarf shown in their shop.
- An original art print from Itty Bitty Press, hand-drawn and screen printed for unique wall art that celebrates independent printmaking.
- A set of Dangerous Animal notebooks from Monkey Dog Studio, illustrated stationery for jotting down ideas, lists, and sketches.
- A custom-colored baby yak from Phil Barbato, a soft, handmade plush in a fur color of your choice—an artisan soft toy made with care.
- Any ring of your choice from Twist Style, offering a wearable, handcrafted accessory to suit your personal taste.
