The Whimsy Mercantile

The Whimsy Mercantile is a little bit of a lot of wonderful things. It’s a shop featuring handmade crafts from over a dozen talented vendors, thrifted treasures, herbal remedies, skin care, and tea. Each month, the space hosts a wide variety of community events including book clubs, role-playing games, paint nights, shamanic journeys, Cosmic Smash Booking, and even physical therapy.
