I just wanted a soda. Marketplace has a lot of souvenirs and travel items for sale if you need them. If it is too early in the morning, there is no one at the shop and you need to pay for the item at the coffee shop next door. A solid option if you need a last minute gift in Fort Wayne International Airport or need a snack.

All the pieces and brands are unique and not similar to your everyday find. I could easily buy out the whole store...if I had unlimited funds. Prices are a little pricey - but hey that's expected in boutiques. High quality comes with a price. I highly recommend The Find when looking for a cool gift or an outfit that won't be repeated!

The Find has a nice selection of baby and children's clothes. There are buckets of Jellycat stuff toys and lots of books and toys. The Find doesn't just cater to children; this place has something for everyone. There is usually a nice candles, jewelry, women's clothes, and mugs. I also like their selection of notebooks and pens. They have also had some really cute and functional face masks here during the height of the pandemic. I purchased a couple COIN 1804 masks from them and those turned out to be my favorite ones. The Find also stocks some Fort Wayne themed items like magnets that say "Fort Wayne: It's not that bad," and postcards with drawings of downtown. Regardless of the reason I visit The Find, I usually also end up purchasing greeting cards here too. They have some cute ones for every occasion.

The staff member I encountered was both gracious and courteous. They carry a wide range of merchandise with no particular rhyme or reason, but it all flows, seamlessly. I loved the energy and vibe of the store. There is street parking on either side of the street. I purchased a tshirt on this visit and declared I'd be back to look around and shop again. Perhaps the most notable thing about the boutique store, there is a food pantry donation center located just outside the front entrance. Stop in, if you can, and bring a canned good or 2 if you can spare it.

Looking for home decor like candles and blankets? The Good Market has you covered. Need to purchase a gift for a child? Plenty of books, stuff animals, and more. Are you a dog mom who can't resist purchasing something for your pet? There are leases and collars available in bright patterns. I was so excited to recognize some of the brands in this shop. I love Sea Bags. I interviewed for a job in Portland, Maine a few years ago and while I was visiting the city, went to Sea Bags and picked up a couple items. Sea Bags recycles old sails and repurposes them into all different kinds of bags. I ended up picking up a wine tote this time. I love Sea Bag's wine totes because like a library card you can write who you're sending it to and they can give it to someone else and add their name and date to the bag. It's a nice gift that is meant to be regifted. I can't wait to see the journey this wine bag is going to take once I gift it. The Good Market also carries Pura Vida Bracelets and a large assortment of jewelry from other makers. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the products and companies. There is also a coffee bar in this shop in case you need a little jolt of caffeine while you're shopping.

I remembered the first time I visited this place I and saw their cute merchandise and trinkets I knew I had to come back. The merchandise they carry is similar to Hobby Lobby, or T.J. Maxx's merchandise for home decor, gifts and trinkets except more unique and a tad bit more expensive. But I love anything unique that's not mass produced with that unique personal touch. But a lot of their merchandise are marked higher than most places. They have a nice variety of selections from jewelry, to baby gifts, home decor, snacks, cute pens and pencils for the office, etc... But if your gift shopping for someone and want a special non generic gift or looking for something unique for yourself and for your home this is the place to go. Their merchandise also comes in different styles from contemporary to traditional pieces which appeals to different tastes. Awesome!!! And their shop is coordinated by color. Sometimes they have discount specials... where if your first or last name starts with a certain letter in the alphabet you save 20%, and they also have a rewards card. Once that's filled up you can save money, but otherwise when shopping there just expect to shell out some extra cash. This is one cutest gift shops I've been to. I go here even if I'm not visiting someone in the hospital. But because this place is located in a hospital parking can be hard to find. But I recommend checking this place out.

Don't expect it to be large, it is only one in room, but they expect to have local artwork on the walls soon and might possibly consider expansion at some time in the future. For a little shop though it has some charming items and yes, it was hard for me to get out of the shop without buying something for myself. (I succumbed!) One of my favorite things about this shop is they are selling items made by local artisans. I love not only shopping local but supporting local people. Quilted items, maple syrup, jewelry etc. There is one issue, however, and that is parking. It is very limited but if you find the parking lot full then take advantage of on-street parking. Just don't park in spaces intended for nearby businesses. Not cool.

I took a tour of their factory today. Tours are available weekdays by calling their office. The 45 minute tour costs $6 for adults and $3 for students. The tour starts and ends in their small gift shop. We visited and saw demonstrations of molten glass moving from furnaces to make sheet glass. We learned about how they mix colors and recycle waste glass. We visited their warehouse and learned about the different qualities of glass and how the glass is shipped. Finally, we saw artisans making decor pieces from the glass. Our tour guide was friendly and interesting. I had trouble hearing her in the furnace room, but still was able to follow. Closed shoes must be worn (no sandals). They provide safety glasses. We found ample parking in their lot. Restrooms are available on site. The buildings are ancient and interesting. The furnace building holds a beehive furnace that was interesting, but is no longer operational. Worth a visit to this Indiana treasure.
