The Craft Collective with Mimi & Shug

09/09/2026

We have already sold 1/2 of our tickets just SIX days after our first Bunco night!

Grab you seat soon, and do NOT miss out on all the laughter and fun like we had last week!
It was a BLAST!

Okay, we need some feedback from our trusted followers!!! 🀄️🎲✨

A new dream is swirling around in our crazy heads… ( This will not replace The Craft Collective with Mimi & Shug, it will be in addition to our studio building)

The Collective Social Parlor

A comfortable, stylish social space where you could:

🀄️ Reserve a Mahjong table with friends
🀄️ Join open play nights AND daytime play
🀄️ Learn Mahjong or join a league
🎲 Play Bunco, 42, dominoes, cards and other social games
☕️ Meet friends during the day for coffee and games
🎉 Host a private game night, birthday, girls’ night or group event
🛍️ Shop Mahjong sets, accessories, gifts, game-night goodies and more

Think less “game store” and more grown-up social club meets cozy game parlor.

A place where the tables are already set up, the chairs are comfortable, the games are ready, and you can simply walk in, gather your people and play.

So here’s where we need YOU…

Would you use a space like this in Athens?

And if so, what would interest you most?

• Mahjong
• Bunco
• 42
• Dominoes
• Cards
• Game leagues
• Daytime open play
• Evening events
• Private table reservations
• Memberships
• Classes for beginners
• Retail Mahjong sets and accessories
• Something else we haven’t thought of?

And one more big question:

Would you rather pay per visit, have a monthly membership option, or both?

We are just dreaming and gathering feedback right now, so tell us what you’d actually use… not just what sounds fun. 😂💛

We want to know if Athens is ready for The Collective Social Parlor.

🎃 Something pumpkin-y is coming…

Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 26th from 10 AM–4 PM because we’re turning The Craft Collective With MiMi & Shug into…

The Creative Pumpkin Patch 🍂

A full day of pumpkin-themed projects, lots of different styles, and plenty of chances to make something you’ll actually want to decorate with.

And no, you don’t have to stay all day. 😉
You will pick a project (or 2 or 3), complete them and go enjoy the rest of your day discovering downtown Athens.

Think wood pumpkins, fabric pumpkins, bookish pumpkins, mixed-media pumpkins and more. 🎨📚🧵

You’ll be able to choose the projects you love and book the times that work best for you.

Project reveals + ticket details coming soon!
