A little Mahjong, a little making, and a LOT of fun!
We spent the night with Ashley Poskin making decoupage lamps and dice cups that are perfect for your next Mahjong night, and we loved seeing how creative everyone got with their designs. There were so many fun ideas, colors, and little details that made each project completely their own!
A big thank you to everyone who came out and joined us, and of course to Ashley for teaching us and making the night so much fun! We loved getting to see everyone’s personalities come through in their projects and can’t wait to do more nights like this💚💚💚

We love a Mahjong 101! From learning the basics to playing your very first game, 101 is where the mahjong journey begins. There’s nothing better than watching new players get the hang of it, find their groove, and leave ready to keep playing💛
