Online Marketplace

Open November 2 - 24

 

Welcome to the 2026 Barnabas Empty Bowls Online Marketplace, where you can shop for some of this year's most beautiful hand-painted bowls. The bowls, which play a central role in Barnabas Center's annual Empty Bowls luncheon, have been lovingly created by hundreds of community volunteers.

Discover the perfect bowl that captrures the personality or interest of a family member or friend.  Or you may be a bowl collector, and there is one that must be added to your collection.

As you develop your strategy for bidding, all bowls are on the site for this year's Marketplace.

If this is your first visit to the Marketplace or if you just need a refresher, these tips may be helpful:

  • To create your account, register as a bidder (see the link at the top, right-hand side of this page.)
  • You can then use the dropdown menu in the upper left to choose which items you want to view.
  • When you find an item you like, you can either place a bid, or choose the Buy Now option, allowing you to avoid the disappointment of being outbid!
  • You may pay for items as you go, or pay at the end of the auction. Although Bidding Owl uses PayPal to process payments, you do not need a PayPal account.
  • After the auction closes at 11:59 p.m., November 24, you will receive an email notifying you as to which items you have won.   
  • Purchases will be available for pickup at Barnabas Center, 1303 Jasmine Street, Fernandina Beach, FL, on December 3 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Shipping is not available.
  • If you prefer not to purchase or bid on any of the items, you can still show your support by using the DONATE option in the upper left.
