Mama's Happy on Grand Celebrates Relocation With Open House on Saturday, February 7 in new Space on St. Paul's Grand Avenue

Home decor and vintage furniture retailer Mama's Happy on Grand holds open house in new space, 1128 Grand Avenue, St. Paul on February 7

Mama’s Happy celebrates the relocation of its store Mama’s Happy on Grand, its home décor, vintage furniture, and gift store on Grand Avenue in St. Paul, with a public open house at the store 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Saturday, February 7, 2015. The new location of Mama’s Happy on Grand is 1128 Grand Avenue, St. Paul, MN, near the intersection of Grand Avenue and Lexington Parkway. The store, previously located at 844 Grand Avenue, opened for business in its new location on January 26.

The open house provides a festive opportunity to see the new space, meet store owner Amanda Ficek, and talk with artisans, self-dubbed “The Mamas,” who create the upcycled, hand-refinished furniture, inspired home decor, and gifts sold at the store. The event showcases demonstrations of the popular Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® 101 Workshop. Open house guests can try out the specialty paint by helping paint a piece of furniture or decorative items that Mama’s Happy will donate to the Sojourner Project, a Twin Cities non-profit organization that provides support and safe shelter to women and children.

The celebration includes goodies from Bread & Chocolate and prize drawings for Mama’s Happy gift certificates, merchandise, and event tickets to upcoming Mama’s Happy events like the March tour of Mama’s Happy founder and owner Amanda Ficek’s decorated and renovated residence on the upper level of a 1894-built creamery in Independence and the May Mama’s Happy bus tour and luncheon.
