New Year happenings!



American Country Mercantile is a little gem hidden away in Keizer, Oregon!  The store is filled with vendors with a passion for all things Prim, Country, and Romantic Country.  The latter would be me, however; I am focusing on paper designs and crafts in my booth for now.  I sell cards, favors, gifts and home decor, all made out of paper and maybe a little wood!  Each design is original and handmade in my smoke-free studio. If you live within driving distance, it is well worth a trip if you enjoy this kind of store!

Below is a picture of my booth.  The fans coming down from the ceiling are mine...the shelf on the wall behind it belong to my friend, Cindy Goff.  I will show you a pic or two of some of her booth too.











So, that was a little preview of what I have been creating for Valentine's Day.  There are some "everyday" items in the booth too, but I like to focus on a theme for each month.


If you live out of the area and like the Valentine's items, I also have an Etsy Shop and take special requests for items on there if you do not find just what you are looking for.  Here is the link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/stuffandthingsandco


Cindy's home-y little spot!


The above two photos are a little peek into Cindy's area that is right behind me.  Lots of handmade goodies along with the vintage items; there is something for everybody!

So, this is a "snapshot" of one of the things I have been doing to start off the New Year.  Hope you are enjoying 2014 and get plenty of time to shop and craft!  :-)

Here's to 2014!  May it be filled with lots of good things, and may we have the sensitivity to enjoy the small blessings that are often overlooked!

Happy Crafting,

Marilyn
