New fixtures

Hello all. As we progress with our interior updates, we have gotten some new fixtures.

We hope you are as excited about the new look as we are.

Last weekend was the 47th Spring Jubilee. We invited our dear friend Kathy Smiley of Wolfe Den Beads to have a pop-up inside The Mercantile. We has SO. MUCH. FUN! (And we did a lot of business, as is usual for Jubilee weekend.) Our friend Phyllis came to help us out, unfortunately, Suzanne got sick and could not join us as well. Hopefully she is feeling better.

Our updates are still a work in progress and we will be changing/adding more new fixtures to the space as time (and budget) allow.

If you wish to schedule a class, please give us a call or stop in and we will see what we can do. Our class schedule will come before too long, but in the meantime, we will gladly do classes by request. A minimum of 24 hours is needed, some classes require 48 hours notice for sufficient preparation time. We still will try to mostly keep our classes to Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. (We need time to attend to other needs in the store.)

We hope you are all doing well.

See you soon!
