Introducing The Sunday Market at Grace & Haven
Some of the best things happen on Sunday mornings — a slow cup of coffee, no agenda, a reason to wander somewhere that feels like an exhale. Starting May 17, we are opening our doors once a month for a curated in-store market on Main Street in Essex, CT. Local makers, beautiful things, good company. This is community, made tangible.
A monthly in-store gathering for the makers, artisans, and creators who make this community extraordinary.
Monthly SeriesEssex, CTThe Sunday Market at Grace & Haven is a monthly pop-up gathering held inside the shop. Each month we invite a small, hand-selected group of local makers and businesses to share their work in our space. Our vendors are chosen with the same intention we bring to every product on our shelves: quality, story, and a genuine reason to exist.
No admission. No obligation. Come with your daughter, your best friend, your mom. Come alone and take your time. Every market is different, every month brings someone new, and the charcuterie is always worth it.

Our first Sunday Market of 2026 — and the lineup is extraordinary.
The weather is going to be beautiful, we’ll have complimentary mimosas, and we genuinely cannot wait to share this morning with you. Here is who is joining us on May 17.
Board & Boujee
Brunch bites to graze on while you browse. Our friend Sam from Board & Boujee CT always brings the spread — curated, beautiful, and very much in the spirit of a Sunday well spent.
Ivy Coast Collection
Sun protection that looks this good. Ivy Coast founder Nikki Amabile built her brand after a melanoma diagnosis at 34 — UPF 50+ clothing designed in New York, coastal, considered, and made for the life we are actually living. Nikki will be in the shop herself. Come meet the woman behind the brand.
Forlayna Jewelry
Coastal and summer florals alongside gorgeous jewelry. Forlayna brings a softness and beauty to every market she joins — you may already know her from J. Alden Women’s right on Main Street. We are so glad to have her here.
Mila Lou
A brand new luxury children’s swimwear line — and this is their debut with us. You are going to fall in love.
Mila Lou →Bauen Kids
The cutest kids furniture you have ever seen. Thoughtfully designed, beautifully made. Bauen Kids is everything.
Bauen Kids →Erin DeLuca Jewelry
Erin DeLuca creates handcrafted jewelry designed for everyday wear — and she is bringing her permanent jewelry studio to Grace & Haven for the day. Permanent jewelry is fine chain welded directly onto your wrist, ankle, or finger with no clasp and no fuss. Made just for you, in the moment, bonded to stay. It is one of those experiences that feels like a small ceremony. Erin is also bringing her broader collection of beautiful pieces to browse and take home.

23 Main Street, Suite B · Essex, CT · Complimentary mimosas · All are welcome
Essex has extraordinary creative energy. We want to be its platform.
CommunityGrace & Haven has always been about more than product. It is about the feeling of finding something that fits — a piece of clothing, a gift, a moment of community in a town that is easy to love. The Sunday Market is an extension of that.
Local makers, artisans, and small businesses are doing remarkable work, often without the platform they deserve. We want to be that platform — at least once a month, inside our little corner of Main Street. Every vendor we invite is someone we would personally recommend to our closest friends. That is the only bar.
Have a maker in mind for a future Sunday Market?
Vendor InquiryEvery great market starts with a conversation. If you know someone whose work belongs here, we would love to hear from you.
