Stock a Colonial Mercantile - Week 1


What sort of items did Mr. Merriman sell in his mercantile?
Linda has some great ideas of what to look for around the house to stock YOUR mercantile this week.


Sewing supplies.


Buckets and bottles.


Baking supplies and nails.


Look for these doll size items around your house or while out thrifty shopping. They make great photo props for historical stores like the mercantile.

    1. Some of the applesauce individual containers look like split wood baskets too
