Sneak peek of what’s filling the mercantile this fall……..it’s a little long. 🙃

08/02/2026

It's Sunday and it's a little cloudy & breezy at the moment.....a tiny taste of fall. 🙃

As we like to say, it's the day to wind down from the weekend and prepare for the week ahead......with donuts, pastries, gooey butter cakes, and so much more. The cases are full, the soup and pasta section is stocked, and there's plenty of jams & jellies to pair deliciously with any cracker, toast, bagel, and bread. 😉

And speaking of fall, Taylor dropped a few new tshirts styles that are available now and here's a peek at some of Sue's primitive inspired pieces that are patiently waiting in the store room until their big reveal on September 1. 🎃

Enjoy the day and take a drive and if you end up in Pocahontas we'll be happy to see you.
We're here until 5pm.
Come on over. 😊

It's the first day August and the most delicious day of weekend....what a great combination. 😉

The cases are full and the bread rack is bursting with the good stuff.....and what better way to enjoy a dreary day than with delightful treats. 😁

Now that August is here that means our summer displays are winding down and we're preparing for the annual changeover for the first weekend in September.....and just wait until you see what's filling the store.
I took the photos this morning so everyone can plan their August shopping lists and also so I can figure out where to put all of the new products.......which my favorite thing to do. 🙃

Grab your umbrella and sunglasses because who really knows what the weather will be today.
We're here until 5pm.
Come on over. 😊

Three reasons to come to Pocahontas today.

#1 Fresh sourdoughs and foccocias.
#2 Delightful and delicious sugar cookies, individually or by the dozen.
#3 New whipped tallow varieties from New Direction Goat Farm.

We're here until 5pm.
Come on over. 😉

07/30/2026

If you've tried the soaps and new whipped tallow, the makers would love to have some feedback.
Do you have a favorite soap scent that you'd like year round?
Is the whipped tallow now part of your skin care routine?
Or do you follow their page and think the goats are too adorable? 🙃

It's Sunday.....and the humidity is going to be brutal today. 😬

The soda wall has a fun variety of retro drinks that we all remember and new mixes that just keep getting crazier. Ranch dressing soda, enchilada soda, spicy pickle soda, and bacon with chocolate soda are a few of the ones I'll never try, but if you're a cola/ski/nostalgic fan we definitely have you covered. A cold Dr. Pepper made with cane sugar in a glass bottle is the most delicious and it's what I send customers from the antique mall to the mercantile for on Sundays. 😉

Speaking of drinks, Mac & Beans locally roasted on St. Jacob restocked yesterday and they're becoming a customer favorite.
It's probably time to change your car freshner and Jennifer C. has new car freshies available, too. 😊

We're starting to rearrange and make room for all of the fall & holiday items arriving soon so we're having a sale on teas, all Fezziwigs loose teas are 50% while they last.

And I've been scouring Marketplace without any luck looking for a cabinet or shelf to hold all of the Amish candies & chocolates. Yesterday I rediscovered a large old wooden tool box in the store room with drawers and cubbies that we used to hold spices a few years ago and it's now the new candy display......back to work where it belongs. 🥰

All of the Sunday donuts, pastries, pies, and cakes are ready & waiting and we're here until 5pm.
Come on over.

07/25/2026

It's Saturday, the most delicious day of the weekend albeit a little soggy this morning. ☔️

The cases are full and the cinnamon rolls are gigantic today.....perfect for sharing but only if you want to. 🙃
Breads, cream horns, croissants, macarons, and more are ready and waiting, too.

Whether you like to clean or read books on rainy days, we have you covered. Robyn's scrubbies and Swede Dishcloths make doing chores a little prettier. Our ever growing book selection has many local & country history titles and the childrens books written by local authors are fun easy reads.....something for everyone.

And if you come in wet, help yourself to a complimentary cappuccino while you shop.....Don likes the Chai Tea and I'm a fan of the carmel macchiato. 😉

The sky will clear later today and we're here until 5pm.
Come on over. 🌞

07/24/2026

Three reasons to come to Pocahontas today. 😊

#1 Fresh pecans from Aviston.
#2 Candles by Jan......because today and tomorrow the weather will feel more like September than July.
#3 Friday donuts & pastries to start the weekend off deliciously.

We're here until 5pm. 😉

Yes, she's posting more photos of the old hotel......but wait until you hear this story. 🙃

We've been looking for an early 1900s wooden door with full glass practically since we acquired the hotel. The size is a little different and when I ocassionally find one either we can't afford it or it would take too much work to restore it......I'm by far no expert on refinishing doors.
Last night we picked up a door that came from a 1900s home in Carlinville and not only will it fit the original door area nicely, it is as near perfect as a 125 year old door could be.....I honestly just have to get our fingerprints off the glass from moving it.
The details on the trim, the beveled heavy glass, and the k**b that's been turned thousands of times are just a few of the things that stand out but the cherry on top is that it came with it's original skeleton key....and that makes the story even better. ❤️

It won't be installed until the inside is finished but you can get an idea of what it will look like from the AI image we've been trying to copy.......and I think we're doing a pretty good job of it, too. 😉

Who's ready for fresh locally grown pecans?
One pound vacuumed sealed bags from Aviston will be available this weekend. 😉
