Since a young age I have always had a passion for design. My favorite TV show was This Old House. After a military career and civilian career, children I decided to return to college in my 40s to officially study Interior Design. Upon returning to my hometown of New Bedford, MA in 2020 I decided to open a Home Design Store named Koke Isha Home. My shop was filled with amazing furniture, art and decor from all local artisans, craftsman and vintage/antique dealers. After closing my shop with the intent to find a more suitable location for my business I found the retail space market was tough. Then the idea came to mind, why not launch a local outdoor market? Viola!! so after reaching out to many possible venues I finally made contact with Running Brook Vineyard. It was a match made in Heaven. So here we are ready to launch the first, permanent, monthly vintage market on the south coast.
