Congratulations to Joyce Langel, the winner of our “My Mom is the Best” contest!

Joyce will receive two free lattes a month for one year, and after reading the essay written about her, you’ll understand why. It was heartfelt, meaningful, and such a beautiful tribute to a very special mom.

You can read the winning essay about Joyce in the post below.

A year ago, I was standing in an empty building wondering if I was completely crazy.

I had this idea for The Market but ideas don’t pay the rent. Ideas don’t build walls. Ideas don’t fill a 6,000 square foot building.

People do.

And somehow, little by little, this place became something. ❤️

May 9th makes one year of The Market.

One year of figuring it out as I go.
Late nights, hard days, second guessing, praying, crying, building, cleaning, posting & opening the doors anyway.

And through it all, one thing I keep coming back to God is good. ✝️

Everyone who has shopped here, sold here, shared a post, brought someone in, said an encouraging word, or chose to spend their money inside these walls… YOU helped bring this to life.

So on May 9th, we’re celebrating YOU!

Sri Sri Asian Cuisine will be here and we’ll have FREE egg rolls tickets (no purchase needed)

It also falls on rummage weekend, which feels pretty fitting. As the organizer of the Le Mars Rummage Sale, all I’ve ever wanted was to give people a reason to come to Le Mars & see what this town has to offer.

So come rummage. Come eat. Come celebrate with us. 🎈
