FAQ: Everything you need to know about the upcoming Christmas GypsyMoon Marketplace
/1. How did GypsyMoon Marketplace start?
GypsyMoon Marketplace started with Angie Mosley. Angie really loves decor, unique items, and anything antique/vintage. She had the dream of hosting her own barn sale and told her daughter-in-law, Whitnee Mosley. With Whitnee’s can-do attitude and Angie’s dream, GypsyMoon was born and held on their family horse farm.
2. What is a barn sale?
A barn sale takes place either on a farm, in or around a barn. It can be described as an upscale vintage/handmade marketplace. The vendors and artisans are hand selected and screened to ensure that each vendor is top notch. Once they are selected, they spend weeks pickin’, preppin’ and preparin’ for the upcoming sale. They don’t just set up a booth; they design, decorate and stage each stall with eye-catching displays that will draw you in to shop.
3. How often do you host GypsyMoon Marketplace?
GypsyMoon started Fall 2015 and has been held every April and November since. The upcoming GypsyMoon Marketplace will be our 9th event!

8. What can I find while shopping at GypsyMoon Marketplace?
Everything! There are so many different gift items, home decor, vintage items, clothing, furniture, candles, and so much more!
9. Is it indoors or outdoors?
We would say 85% of the vendors are located indoors! There are a few vendors out front and some in our food truck area.
10. Will it be heated?
We will try our best to make sure everyone is comfortable but what a great opportunity to wear your cutest chunky sweater with boots and a beanie to get in the holiday spirit :)
11. What happens if it rains?
The show must go on! Majority of our vendors are indoors so wear your rain jacket but once you make it inside, you’ll be just fine :)
12. Does it cost to get in?
It does! Thursday Night is $10 per person and Friday and Saturday it is $5 per person. Kids 12 and under are free! A portion of the gate proceeds go to the non-profit, Life’s Better Together.
13. Are credit/debit cards accepted?
Being on a farm in the county, is not ideal, but some vendors will try to make it work. We ALWAYS recommend having cash on you.
14. Is there ample parking?
Oh yes! We also have golf carts that will pick you up and make your parking experience easier.
15. Will there be food?
Absolutely! We have food trucks, pies, popcorn, donuts, cookies, and wine tasting!
16. Stroller/Dog friendly?
Pets on a leash are welcomed, as are children (haha! totally kidding). An umbrella stroller may be best because it will be smaller and easier to maneuver. All of the stalls and back barn are mulch, so strollers may be a little tough to maneuver in those areas.
17. What are 3 top items to bring when coming to shop?
Dress in layers with comfy shoes, a shopping tote and cash is always king.
18. What would be the ideal outfit to wear while shopping?
Anything that will keep you warm and comfortable. So we suggest: layer, layer, layer and comfortable shoes!
19. Who is GypsyMoon Marketplace for?
Everyone and anyone! Women, men, children, dogs, etc.
20. What’s one important thing you think every shopper should know?
We want them to leave with the best experience possible and with a trunk full of stuff!
21. How can I stay updated with all the latest GMM news?!
