Attention shoppers, potters, crafters and hobbyists: the One of a Kind Show and Sale is returning to the Direct Energy Centre from March 30–April 3. The kitschy finds and one-offs we’ve grown to love will all be on offer, but to ensure the need for granola bars, sedatives and sensible footwear, there are a staggering 118 new vendors (450 total) this spring.
Check out the OOAK Web site for an updated list of vendors, but our top picks include Melissa Neist and Sean Gorham’s salvaged wood furniture and accessories, Oh Dina headpieces and Biko’s uniquely nostalgic pendant jewellery (seen here first). We’re hoping the Direct Energy Centre has resting suites and fainting couches, because there’s a lot of walking to be done and, well, we’re only human.
The details: March 30–April 3, $6.50–$12, One of a Kind Show and Sale, 100 Princes’ Boulevard, oneofakindshow.com .
