The 2016 Pop-Up is on! Set your calendar for Saturday, October 8th.
A lot of you were wondering — since we moved — if we’d continue with our annual Refreshed Furniture Pop-Up Shop. To be totally honest, we were wondering ourselves!
But the great news is, through the help of our incredible West Wellington BIA, the City of Ottawa, and a grant from Annie Sloan distributor, Unfolded, this year’s Pop-Up will take place right in the heart of Hintonburg!
So, set your calendar, and join us on Saturday October 8th, from 10-4, in Somerset Park, right across from our shop.
If you’re not familiar with the concept of our Pop-Up, it’s partly a celebration of Malenka Originals anniversary, but mostly about celebrating and showcasing all the beautiful work going on by local furniture painters. We invite a group of vendors — all people who we’ve got to know over the years at our shop — to come sell their furniture for the day.
Some of the vendors paint full-time, some just do it on the side as a hobby. But they are all very skilled at refinishing, and are all passionate about upcycling.
We’ve got a talented bunch of local furniture painters this year, some who have been vendors at all our past Pop-Ups, and some who are new.
If you haven’t attended one of our past Pop-Ups, have a look at some of the pictures from the past three years.
