After a lot of reflection, we've decided to step away from the brick-and-mortar location for North Root Studio. I don’t necessarily believe in fate or destiny, but sometimes things quietly fall into place — and the timing simply feels right.

Leaving this space has been incredibly hard. It holds so many memories — my infant son in a swing while I painted the exterior, crying behind the counter after losing my dog, and my mother-in-law proudly sharing about the shop even though she lived hours away. The Studio was never just a store — it was a piece of my life.

North Root started as a hobby and grew into something so much bigger because of all of you. While closing this chapter of the physical space, you can still reach out for your favorite wares. For now, I’m focusing on my family, myself, and what comes next.

If there’s one thing I hope you carry forward, it’s how important small businesses are. Share the ones you love. Spread the word. Buy the things that inspire you — especially the ones that make you think you could make them yourself. That’s how creativity grows and small businesses keep going.

Thank you for being part of North Root. This isn’t goodbye — it's a new season.

Hi friends!

It's coming to a quieter season in Nisswa. The leaves are dropping and we're waiting on that first glimpse of white...Will today be the day?

The town has begun preparing for the Festival of Lights - the city becomes a real life Hallmark movie: Santa, live reindeer, bonfires and s'mores, book readings, fireworks. It's an event that is a MUST attend!

Mark your calendar.

More product is continuing to trickle into the shop.

I'm thinking a few fun craft gatherings might be on our horizon. What do you think? Can we make your winter season a little brighter with a class? What would you seek out?

Drop a comment - maybe we're all craving a little outlet with friends (old or new).

*also, my little family is so gosh darn adorable. I had to share a moment captured from our family photographer,

Ok, so I'm a little...teensy....weensy...bit obsessed with our knit hats. Chunky yarn. Trees. I mean, can you blame me?

Handcrafted by yours truly.

Get 'em while they're (it's) hot?!

It will be cold...eventually. Keep your noggin cozy.

If you haven't met yet...let me introduce you to Watermelon Creek goods: from jams and jellies (elderflower rose, apple chutney, lingonberry sauce), blueberry maple syrup, pickled apples, applesauce, to smoked cherry BBQ sauce.
These will delight and enhance your cravings.
And don't stop at the standard, expected use. Add lingonberry sauce to your cocktails, blueberry maple syrup to your icecream or coffee concoctions. A little spread of apple chutney with garlic scapes to your grilled cheese.
We dare you to be different! You won't be disappointed.

Watermelon Creek sells at markets in Crosby and Nisswa, MN - AND at North Root.

Hello October!
Did you know that Nisswa is a hopping destination in the summer months?! Our little town of less than 2000 jumps to 20,000. It's the place to be 'in the middle' of dozens of lakes near national forests and some 'pretty good shopping' too.
We love being a part of this little slice of Minnesota paradise.
We have now entered the quieter side. Life returns to a slower place but the beauty just keeps on giving. The leaves are finally changing color and it is a sight to behold.
And while life has settled into a milder season, we are still bringing in new goods and offerings from our local vendors. Our ceramic maker just dropped off a new shipment of handcrafted mugs. Loons, walleyes, and ducks, oh my! He even brought in a few sets of nesting bowls.
Bring on the cozy vibes...grab your favorite mug and fill it up while snuggling beneath your fuzziest flannel.
We hope the autumnal brilliance fills your soul.

October hours:
Wednesdays and Thursdays 11-2:45pm
Fridays 12-4
Saturdays 10-2

As always, if these hours don't fit your shopping needs, please message us for access to North Root.

My sweet friend, Julie (Watermelon Creek Market) is keeping shop today and tomorrow from 11-4pm.
I'm thankful for this kind and loving soul who graciously stepped in to provide customers access to our cute little shop, and to give me a little break. She whips up delicious concoctions that complement your meals --- jelly, jam, chutney, sweet cherry BBQ sauce, and some of the best blueberry maple syrup (try it classically on pancakes or waffles, or amplify icecream, - OR - craft a cocktail!)
Come in and say hello!

Thank you, Julie ❤️
