“I love watching the customers when they see something they haven’t seen any other place before,” said Theresa Hornstein, president of Nice Girls of the North. “Because we have a lot of unique goodies. Like, I do silks and the yarns, and to watch somebody just petting the silk or the yarn, and you can see them smile, its part of why I do this,”

The market has been a staple in the community for nearly 12 years, and the vendors rally together to help each other with their items, which making the market even more special.

“We share pieces back and forth, and just the energy of the group, we feed off each other, it’s wonderful, if you get stuck you can, hey guys i need help with something, you got it,” said Hornstein.
