Chip and Joanna Gaines celebrated 15 years of marriage earlier this year. Now their company, Magnolia Market, is 15 years old, too.
The former stars of Fixer Upper celebrated with an extra-special "Silobration" at Magnolia last weekend. Afterward, Joanna took to social media to share a sweet note to her husband.
"It all started with a dream that I jotted down on a legal pad back in 2003," Joanna wrote.
"Thank you Chip Carter for helping me turn what was on that piece of paper into a reality. These last fifteen years have been equal parts scary and exciting and there’s no one else I’d rather [have] by my side than you."
Joanna also shared a series of photos of Magnolia's beginnings, including an adorable vintage photo of the lovebirds at the shop in 2003.
Magnolia started out as a single retail store with a handmade sign — assembled by Chip, of course. Now it's a sprawling marketplace, lifestyle brand, and online store.
This year's anniversary-edition Silobration was one for the books!
Last weekend, Joanna and Chip threw their annual Silobration at the silos at Magnolia Market.
This year's Silobration was extra special because it marked 15 years since Magnolia Market first opened.
Once a tiny retail store, the market was the couple's first business venture together in 2003.
To mark the anniversary, Joanna shared a few photos on Instagram of the market's humble beginnings.
“15 years ago… Happy Anniversary Magnolia!” she wrote in one nostalgic post.
"The sign on the original building was what [Chip] surprised me with when he found out we couldn't afford a real sign," she continued. "He always saves the day."
Magnolia Market has come a long way since 2003. It's now a lifestyle brand and sprawling retail marketplace that draws thousands every week — and it even has a real sign!
It's all thanks to Chip and Joanna's amazing work ethic and bond.
"I have zero regrets… about stepping out and just going for it — this shop, this business, it has our hearts. We are so thankful and this is why we SILOBRATE!" Joanna wrote.

The Silobration featured food trucks, live music, and a vendor fair.
Many Waco, Texas, locals came out to enjoy the festivities, but none were as proud as Chip and Joanna.
Joanna returned to Instagram again this week to thank Chip for supporting her all these years.
"It all started with a dream that I jotted down on a legal pad back in 2003," she wrote.
"Thank you Chip Carter for helping me turn what was on that piece of paper into a reality."
"These last fifteen years have been equal parts scary and exciting and there’s no one else I’d rather [have] by my side than you @chipgaines ❤️."
The couple celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary earlier this year, and they recently welcomed their fifth child, Crew. They also wrapped their beloved TLC series Fixer Upper to focus on their family and personal ventures.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years," Joanna said. "We wouldn’t be here without you."
Congrats to Chip and Joanna on 15 amazing years, and here's to many more!
