Mothers Day Merc Shop Style

Yes, yes, y’all!  Mothers Day is just around the corner or really, at the end of the week. So pretty please give your dear mum extra love this Sunday.  If your old lady (or young lady) is nearly as awesome as we think she is, get her something a little different.  Show that lovely lady you know exactly how awesome she is by skipping the “I Love You” balloon and generic card and going the straight for the “mom you are the coolest ever!” gift.  Here are some of our ideas. These adorable little succulent orbs made special for us by Dragonfly Floral bring a bit of joy every time you look at them - I personally like to imagine they are teeny tiny worlds.  If she’s a colorful lady why not go for the bold with these electric pouches and pillows by RO.  And of course if its jewelry she needs, and frankly - who doesn’t?  Diamonds may be a girls best friend but Agates and Brass make darn good pals too!  Don’t forget to get that awesome lady who’s responsible for half of your genetic makeup, a gift as unique and special as she is! Go on now!

A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS

It sure feels like summer around here and with the sun comes festival time! good music, dancing around in the dirt till the moon comes up. Good times need good easy outfits. Here’s a classic with a twist - I’m loving this cool “fanny pack” Yes I said cool and fanny pack in the same sentence. But look-see, it is.  And it’s just big enough to hold your i phone, cash, chap stick and some of those awesome sunscreen face wipes.  Pair the hipster fanny pack with your favorite cut-offs (or new ones made right here), the softest tee, mirrored sunnies and the piece de resistance - Nina Savill’s bronze popcorn necklace.  Outfit…check! Now go dance!

1 year and counting!

I am- proud to say that The Mercantile Shop made it through its first year with flying colors! A gold star for sure.  Each and every moment from finding the space, painting, creating, opening up Jack in a box on my birthday, finding new artists to work with and support, and well meeting new people each and everyday and experiencing the joy when someone finds the perfect pair of jeans, all of it, is amazing.  Viva la Mercantile! For year 2 and beyond we want The Mercantile Shop to get bigger and better, and honestly Poppy needs a new wig badly! So instead of sitting at a bank (boring) we are inviting friends, family and the world to join us in making our lil’ shop of Healdsburg bigger, better and beyond.  Hence, the Indegogo campaign - hey its good to try new things right?  This way you all can be a part of something rad, and one day say hey, I totally helped make that. If your nice we could even make a commemorative light fixture for you! So, check it out! xoxo ms

Happy Birthday to us! The Mercantile Shop is officially 1 year old.  Thank you Healdsburg for having us.  In honor of this momentously awesome occasion, the super rad Michael Karman created this @mercshop video.  Its a sneak peek into our little world, “virtual” shopping if you will. Enjoy and come visit soon!
