8 YEARS OF THE MERQ! 🤍🥳 AND WE’RE CELEBRATING BIG!

This year looks a little different for us…

Normally, we’d be throwing open our doors and celebrating another birthday with all of YOU! But since our beloved barn is getting a pretty incredible makeover, we’re taking the party online instead!

And because 8 years of The Merq deserves something EXTRA special, we’re giving one lucky follower a little getaway! 🎉

THE GIVEAWAY! 🤍

One lucky winner will receive:

✨ A 2-night getaway at a beautiful Airbnb in McCall, Idaho!

✨ A fabulous gift basket filled with some of our favorite things, thoughtfully curated just for YOU!

HERE’S HOW TO ENTER:

🤍 LIKE this post

🤍 TAG 3 friends you’d love to bring along

🤍 FOLLOW

That’s it! Easy peasy!

WINNER ANNOUNCED WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21ST! 🎉

Eight years ago, The Merq started with a dream, a whole lot of faith, and a love for all things vintage. We never could have imagined all the wonderful people, friendships, and memories this little shop would bring into our lives.

And while our doors may be temporarily closed, our hearts are FULL as we dream about what’s coming next.

Thank you for showing up, cheering us on, shopping small, and sticking with us through every season — especially this one.

The best is yet to come, friends! 🤍

We’ve been a little quiet over here - and for good reason! After 8 years of waiting, we are FINALLY able to BUILD OUT THE BARN!!!

That means we have to be closed for an indefinite amount of time to make sure everything is in tip-top shape before we have the BIGGEST Grand Re-Opening party y’all have ever seen!

So get ready to save the date (we’ll let you know as soon as we do when that will be!) and stay tuned to follow along as we share our renovation process! It’s going to be really something…🤍

In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine and have the best day! We’re so happy you’re here.

“I ain’t afraid to love a man. I ain’t afraid to shoot him neither.” 😉 -Annie Oakley

This is my Grams doing her best Annie Oakley impersonation. She was fun, spunky and just a little bit crazy. She owned a yarn shop in Apple Valley California and loved to create things with her hands.

She inspired me.

She beat breast cancer and was an overcomer of many difficult storms in life. She’s been gone 10 years now and so today I honor her; for the woman she was before dementia robbed her of life full of so many good things.

I’m thankful for this picture of her - it reminds me to not take life so seriously and to have fun no matter what.

Grandma Pat did it well.

Be like Grandma Pat...

Go out of your way to make someone smile today!💛

Love you Grams.
