Ladies and gentlemen, start your holiday shopping. The Savvy Marketplace comes to Capitol Hill Sunday, November 9th from 11 AM to 6 PM at the Melrose Market Studios on Capitol Hill with 30 local vendors.

Event producers Terra Link and Jacob Rideout are very excited about the first edition of the event. “It’s our first market and we are hoping for great turnout this time so if that’s great then we would want it to be a monthly thing,” Link said. The market is “a place for artists, musicians so they continue doing what they love,” Link says.

Sunday’s market in the venue below Melrose Market will feature “handcrafted and unique” items priced mostly between $5 and $50 except for some high-end, fancy pants leather bags. Vendors will be showcasing various items of arts and crafts and home decor including jewelry, vintage clothing, and household items. Entry fee is $2 and children under ten get in free. The organizers say proceeds will go to benefit a local no-kill animal shelter.

Link hopes the pop-up market introduces various local vendors to the public. “Support your local community,” Link said. “Shop local, keep the money local and support people’s hobbies and businesses.”
