Looking for something meaningful to do on a Wednesday evening in Connecticut? On June 3rd from 5–8pm, Grace & Haven in Essex opens its doors for Giving with Grace — an evening of Prosecco, community, and giving back to families that need it most. This month's cause is Love from Lincoln, a nonprofit supporting Connecticut families navigating pediatric heart transplants. Twenty percent of all sales — in store and online — is donated directly to their mission. In-store guests receive a Love from Lincoln cookie by Sweet Pea & Poppy Cookie Co with every purchase, while supplies last. No tickets. Free parking. Just show up.
Once a month, we open our doors to something special. The Sunday Market at Grace & Haven brings local makers, artisans, and creators to Main Street in Essex, CT — permanent jewelry, luxury children's swim, beautiful finds, and good company. Eight dates in 2026, starting May 17.
