Up next is Patty! She is the owner of BowerBird!

We were blessed to have a friend of ours inquire about space for her Aunt Patty & within 2 weeks she was part of the Merc Family! Her first days in the shop were during our "Holiday Vintage Road Trip" Talk about jumping in! She did it FLAWLESSLY! We absolutely adore her & feel so blessed she's here.
I'll let Patty introduce herself!

"As a young girl, I would accompany my mother to weekend jaunts to flea markets, thrift stores and garage sales. Later, on my own, the love for thrifting grew. I’ve worked estate sales for over 24 years ,and you’ll find me at local sales to this day. This work helped cement my love for found treasures.
After retiring from a career in healthcare, my husband and I opened a
coffee shop on Harsens Island. Naturally, it wasn’t long before I opened a consignment shop in the backroom.
Shortly after selling the coffee shop, I realized I missed the thrill of the hunt. I needed
an outlet for my passion. Enter the Main Street Mercantile.
A visitor to my “cottage,” will quickly pick up on my passion for vintage gardening items, dish ware and vintage Christmas decor.
Just as the BowerBird gathers bright and shiny objects to feather her nest, visit Patty’s BowerBird Cottage to find the perfect shiny object for your home."

Patty is also our window designer for the large front window this month! YES that stunning wrought iron furniture & everything else in the window IS for SALE!

Come in & check out BowerBird & all the other amazing small businesses inside!

Time to meet your next "Face Behind the Brand" and she is at the store working TODAY!!!

Leanne of Leanne Elizabeth Studio is an artist and maker all in one! We were lucky to have her join us almost 2 years ago & can't imagine anyone else in her space!

Enough of me.... I'll let her introduce herself!

Hi, I’m Leanne of Leanne Elizabeth Studio.

Everything in my booth is made by hand by me! I’ve been a lifelong crafter and artist since I was a kid. I’ve just always enjoyed art and crafting is very therapeutic and I recommend everyone try a craft hobby!

My illustration artwork has been full of lifelong practice drawing with traditional media (pencil, pens, and markers). I didn’t start making polymer clay products (primarily earrings) until a few years ago. I wanted to try a new craft and I’ve always loved earrings but hated the weight they put on my ears. So I gave polymer clay earrings a try for myself since they were practically weightless! Long story short friends and family started to want some, encouragement to do artisan and farmers markets, and that’s how I ended up at Main St. Mercantile after being a vendor at the Richmond Market and Melissa convinced me to become a store vendor. I’ve been at the Merc for two years now and love it!

Come in & see what's NEW with Leanne Elizabeth Studio & all the other amazing vendors at The Merc!🌿
