A NEW SHOPPING EXPERIENCE!
The Pro.Found Market is founded by 4 badass New England women who came together to create something amazing that helps local businesses showcase their inventory of unique and vintage items.
I was invited to join my friend Lauren to attend the Pro.Found Market last fall, and I didn’t even hesitate before I said OF COURSE! She stumbled across the Facebook page and knew that this would be a cool event to shop local and get some friend time in!
The Pro.Found Market hosted an outdoor pop-up event in Lancaster, MA at Kalon Farm & Winery. The location was perfect for the event. Lots of space to host all their many many vendors and for us to walk around and see everything in one centralized space.
The great thing about this market is that it brings together all these unique and local shops together. Kind of like bringing your Etsy shop to life. Some of these vendors may not have an actual retail shop, so it’s great to put a face to the name and be able to interact with your customers. The vendors have the opportunity to explain some of their craftsmanship and educate us on their passion for their businesses.
The number of products featured range from artwork to furniture, to plants to clothes, anything you can think of, they had it. Going through all the booths, I got some great laughs at some of the witty banter on the signs or t-shirts. Or I was awed by the stunning furniture pieces that are all unique and detailed.
Currently, the way people use decor is changing vastly. People are thinking outside of the box for non-traditional ways to display items. You can get so many great ideas by seeing how some of the vendors display their items in their booths, or even by talking to people who are attending. I remember we chatted with a woman about what she was going to do with a window frame. And she was going to display it on the outside of her front door with a wreath on it for the holidays, which is something I’ve never seen before. You can get a lot of great ideas just by talking to people just like you!
I also loved that they had food trucks! The only concern for me was that they didn’t have any vegetarian options. One of the trucks had a vegetarian item but didn’t have the ingredients to make it. No biggie I loaded up on some delicious fries, but hopefully next time I will get to enjoy some of the tasty food truck specials as well!
When I visited, I didn’t really have a need for anything major. I was trying to force myself to buy something, but in the end, I left with only one item. And I’m kicking myself! I can’t wait for the next event so I can make sure I go and find some unique pieces!
After visiting the Pro.Found Market, I developed a deeper love and appreciation for vintage local items. Personally, I like to redecorate my living spaces all the time. I have painted room walls a million different colors! I am always looking for new décor and new ways to display items!
I cannot wait to see whats new to explore at the June event!

I went to the Pro.Found Market with my extremely talented photographer friend Lauren Leahy Van Duyn. Here is a sample of some of her photos from the Pro.Found Market. As you can see they are beautifully shot and captures some of the many great vendors and items that were at the Fall event. Lauren has a keen eye for the details and can always find a way to capture the shot perfectly. She is great to work with and always smiling.
