Meet the Founders!
Sam Smith
Josephine's Mercantile
The shop is named after my sweet and spirited grandmother, Josephine. Grandma Jo was a child during the depression and because of this she saved everything. Her home was filled with classic vintage pieces. Her vintage home and passion for repurposing goods ignited my passion.
Josephine’s is built on community and is what we hope to create and support. We value each and every person who comes through these doors and would not be where we are today without you.

Valley Vintage Market
Valley Vintage Market started over 10 years ago with a small dream to create something different in the world of home decorating. On a back road in an old community building the Market came to life. It ran as a once-a-month pop-up vintage market filled with handmade treasures and vintage finds. After the old building was sold in the fall of 2021, the market has moved to a small room in Carin's home for the time being. Valley Vintage Market is a collection of furniture, art, repurposed items, home decor, gifts and countless fine goods to help you turn an ordinary house into an extraordinary home.

Together
The Found Market was created!
Our passion to preserve the past, through our individual journeys, has brought us together to create The Found Market. Sam started the journey by herself with a similar show called "Redeemed Revival". It was an amazing event but took a halt when Covid 19 changed everything for a few years. Through God's direction, Sam & Carin came to realize this would be a fantastic show to do together! And so it began! We strive to create a market filled with diverse treasures for any shopper looking for that one-of-a-kind piece. Some pieces have a story, some are repurposed to find new life, some are gathered & saved, and some are handmade by our amazing vendors. We love this journey, and we love creating the market for our community. We hope you will come along and enjoy the fun with us!
