The Market on 12

"Market on 12 is a delightful shopping oasis conveniently located just outside the National Lakeshore. This charming venue combines the allure of handcrafted goods, retail items, and vintage treasures all under one roof, offering a unique and enticing retail experience. The variety of local vendors represented at Market on 12 allows for a wonderful array of products. From tastefully selected home goods and décor that can add character to any living space, to stylish clothing options, bath and body products, and an impressive selection of local artisan crafts, this market truly has something for everyone. What stood out to me during my visit was the pricing. Despite the high quality and artisanal background of many items, the prices remained competitive. This accessibility ensures that the products are not just exclusive to those looking for luxury but are also available to those who appreciate fine craftsmanship at a fair price. The vintage selection deserves a special mention. It's a thrill to find a vintage piece that speaks to you, and even more so when it's priced reasonably. My personal find was a testament to Market on 12's commitment to value as much as variety. For anyone searching for that perfect gift or a unique item for their home, Market on 12 is a must-visit. It's not just a market; it's a curated collection of goods from talented artisans and savvy vintage collectors. The welcoming ambiance and the thoughtfully priced goods make this market stand out as a gem in the area."

"This is a cute little store right on HWY12 that's filled with the work of many local artists. On my visit there were lots of clothes, jewelry, pottery/ceramics, handmade soaps and candles and loose natural stones. It also has a bit of locally made souvenirs for those passing through or visiting the Dunes National Park. A must see if you are into supporting local NW Indiana artists or want a unique souvenir. Also, the owner lady was very sweet and friendly."

"What a great find on a cold snowy night! They had a hot cocoa and cookie station set up for the night. We bought some earrings, local candy, unique Christmas ornaments, and college themed drinkware set. And I gotta say, the prices were very reasonable! The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I will definitely go back again!"
