Spring Bada-BingByCary, weehah! and Magnolia Moonlight have just returned from a fabulous show at Plant Zero in Richmond - Spring Bada-Bing. It was a beautiful day and there was a great turn out with crowds rushing the doors at 11am for the free schwag bags! The show was put together by the Richmond Craft Mafia and they did a spectacular job! We want to especially thank the volunteers for making the show so much fun - we could not have been there without their generous help! Here are a few more pics:
