The Mercantile Games, Toys, and Gifts...
Find your Happy place! We continued to carry many of these items until January of 2021. We also have Art kits and supplies.

We started out as a gift shop in August of 1988 with candles, old fashioned candy, gourmet coffee beans, gifts and more. Our navigation through the pandemic months of 2020, helped us to reassess our 30+ year old business. In January we made the decision to reduced our inventory selection to the best of the best, create a gathering space, and begin to offer events throughout the year, such as game

nights. Our streamlined selection includes children's and inspirational books, taper candles, toys, games, plush, puppets, whole bean coffee, dip mixes, hand made soaps, and a wide selection of bulk candy and chocolates. Our Rubber Stamps and beading supplies are now back stock, rather than open stock. As always we are happy to special order the items you need. We also offer a variety of crafting classes for groups, or one on one. (check our page for what is on the schedule. Don't see a class you want? think about reserving an a la cart time.) Some of the lines we carry The World's Softest Socks, Folkmanis Puppets, The Puppet Company, Northern Lights Candles, SallyeAnder Soaps (including No Bite Me), Stewarts Crafts Soaps, Kiss a Prince soaps, AbbeyGift, EDC books, Peter Pauper Press, Carma Games, The Good Game People, Haba, Hape, Plus Plus, Wiki Stix, Stone Craft, Gault, University Games, eeboo, Crazy Aarons, Asmodee, Smart Toys, Mobi, Funny Mat, Mercantile made cards, and Leanin' Tree greeting cards and much more (including new lines ordered off and on throughout the year)
We will continue to have a wide selection of Christmas ornaments, especially ones you can have personalized! We are also creating a private classroom, that can be used for classes or a special gathering. Stop by and chat with us about our renewed space.

Our thoughts are with our Pendleton community as they deal with this tragedy.

There are no words for the heartbreak our community is feeling today. Early this morning, Pendleton lost one of our young people in a tragic accident, and two other Pendleton High School students suffered serious injuries. Please join me in praying for everyone impacted by this unimaginable loss.

I have been in touch with numerous residents, community leaders, and spiritual leaders throughout the day. I have offered any and all resources our town can provide, including gathering spaces and support in any way that is needed as our community grieves together.

Please continue to lift up the families, friends, classmates, teammates, teachers, first responders, and all those carrying heavy hearts today. In a town like Pendleton, we stand beside one another in moments of sorrow, and right now, so many are hurting.

Lord, please surround these families and our entire community with comfort, strength, and peace. Watch over the students who are injured and give hope in the midst of heartbreak. Amen. 💚

SQUISHY ALERT!! We just received 2 dozen surprise dumplings (one per steamer) AND some slow rise butter! Thankfully the butter does not have much of a smell, as we had heard some do. As with all of our NEEDOH and SQUISHIES those on our reservation list who requested dumplings or butter, yours have been set aside. All others are first come first served...We will ask that you limit one per customer. Another four dozen Dumplings are on order, and we are taking reservations. Have a SQUISHY day!
