You’ll find handmade jewelry, art, home décor, and unique treasures you won’t see in big stores. The kind of gift that tells a story.

My Personal Reminder This Mother’s Day in Texas

I’ll be out there Saturday broadcasting live, and I’ll be honest, this one hits home for me.

I lost my mom. And there’s not a Mother’s Day that goes by that I don’t think about the times I’d take her flowers, sit down, and break bread together.

Now that she’s gone, I understand something I wish more people realized sooner:

Don’t just post about your mom, go see her.

Hold her hand. Look her in the eyes. Sit down and share a meal. Make those memories while you still can.

Because one day, you won’t get that chance.

Abilene, Texas Market Days With a Purpose

This isn’t just a market, it’s a mission. Every purchase helps local youth right here in the Big Country by:

  • Sending kids to church camp and Bible school
  • Supporting youth programs
  • Helping children aging out of foster care

So while you’re finding the perfect gift, you’re also giving back.

A Simple Stop That Means Everything

There’s something special about Market Days. You may not know what you’re looking for, but when you find it, you’ll know. And maybe this year, it’s not just about the gift.

It’s about the time you spend with the person you’re giving it to.
