The 2026 Found Cottage Mercantile Market was one for the books! This year was the most challenging between the humidity, rain, more humidity and lots more rain! Grit, prayers and determination got me through.
We had less than an hour before the gates opened, but the rain finally stopped 🙌 Every single vendor was scrambling to get things moved outside and in order before the gates opened. And because I'm a one woman show with styling, I got ZERO pictures of my space before customers began rolling in. And the rest is history! But I've got plenty of pictures of the river running through my tent earlier that morning 🤣
But you know what? The rain cleared, the sun came out and the customers showed up and showed up BIG! I could never thank everyone enough! To every single person that came through my space...THANK YOU! It's not just about sales, it's the connections that you make along the way. The love of vintage really does bring people together.
And the crew that puts this market together is top notch! Every year it gets bigger, better and executed seamlessly. A huge heartfelt
thank you to
