Happy Anniversary to one of my all time favorite couples Chad & Joanna! Their carnival themed wedding was epic! I also love that part of their photoshoot was at our old Newfangled storefront. Love you both so much!

Long post alert! ⚠️⚠️⚠️
Hi Indie Market Family!
We hope you all have been having a great 2024! In 2012 I was in our shop Newfangled Modern Market with Rusty and a friend and we were talking about all of the wonderful artisans that were displaying their work in our space. I wanted to have so many more but I didn't have the space to hold them all so the DeLand Indie Market was born! We started off with 45 Vendors and grew to 130. We started in 2018 and were able to reach even more Vendors. We have now come full circle. The opportunity came for us to reopen our shop and get this, it's at the entrance of Artisan Alley on the New York Ave side! How cool is that? .0 will be opening in November and will have a bit of a different vibe. We will be featuring plants, a potting station, home decor, lighting and of course our cool vintage and architectural finds. Sadly this means we will no longer be hosting the markets. We are going to focus on the shop, family and traveling. We hope you will come and see us because we will definitely miss everyone. We are eternally grateful to each and every one of you for making the Markets such a success! We will keep these accounts to promote other markets and vendors. Tag us in posts and we will share. We want to continue to support small businesses! Please follow our new account .0.to see what we are up to.
Love, Courtney & Rusty

I am so grateful for these two guys on either side of me. We successfully pulled off 4 safe Holiday Markets during the middle of a pandemic. All small independent businesses have been hit so hard this year including all of us in this picture. We are so thankful for everyone who came out and shopped, ate & drank local this season. Thank you to all of our Vendors who trusted us to keep them safe in this crazy time. Thank you to the team for supplying us with a beautiful venue and delicious beverages. We are not quite sure what 2021 has in store for us but will be making an announcement in early January on some future Mini Indie dates. Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday and a safe and healthy New Year! ❤️

Hi everyone!!! I am so excited to be back and hosting markets again! They are looking very different for the time being but at least we are back. They are going to be on a much smaller scale for now. We will have 25 rotating vendors each Sunday starting on 11/29 & going through 12/20. We will be setup in the courtyard and new venue located in the back of Tuffy's Bottle Shop & Lounge. We will be following CDC guidelines. All staff and vendors will be wearing masks and we ask that you do the same while walking the market. Stay tuned for our list of vendors who will be attending each week. We can't wait to see you!
