Mary-Ellen Power and her brother
Graeme Power have been putting their creative minds and woodworking skills together for the last handful of years, making a name for themselves with handcrafted furniture, home accessories and custom designs. But this weekend will be their very first pop-up market.

Brightwood Brewery (35 Portland Street) plays host to the event this Saturday, November 24 (from 12-4pm), where you’ll be able to peruse the Powers’ handmade Christmas signs, cutting boards, plant stands and their most popular item—blanket ladders (see above). “We just always flow with what people want,” says Mary-Ellen. “But that style just kind of took off, the kind of Scandinavian vibes that are super on-trend right now.”
