Meet Jules
I attended 2 private colleges where I graduated in advertising and design. At my “day job” I am a member of a Web Development & Marketing Department, and the head designer for a multi-million dollar/year company. I also have been designing websites and graphics for the past 10 years. In the past, I have owned and operated a Non Profit Organization that had over 200 worldwide members. Not only do I spend time on the computer, I also am an avid primitive/country crafter and decorator. Happy Crafting, Jules |

Meet Cheryl
I have been a hairstylist for 20 years, and doing that you have to be a pretty crafty person. I have done several different crafts over the years, but most recently got into candles and bath & body products. I love the smell and feel of beautiful things, and have always been a candle nut. Back in 2005 I started to make my own and now I have an up and growing business on the web and even an ebay store! I love doing this, and plan on for a long time. Playing on my website with graphics and design has become quite fun also!! I love to change the theme around and play with different ideas. No matter what I do, I strive to do the best in everything. My family and friends are great supporters, and I have become close with several of my "online" customers. That is special to me. I look forward to meeting new "online" friends and hope I can always be helpful to you in anyway that I can.

Well actually this is Haley - The Speckled Goose's store mascot! |
Meet Nancie
I have been a crafter for several years. In 2005 my corporate job was eliminated and I had the opportunity to open my first brick and mortar store ~ The Speckled Goose. In addition to working in my store 4 days a week, I work at an antique store 2 days a week. If you're in Colorado, drop by to say "hi". I'd love to meet you. My latest creations have been raggedy ann dolls, painted signs, and so much more. I am currently working on scrapbook calendars for those that don't have time. I am glad to be part of this great team.

Meet Sherolyn
I am 54 years old and retired; I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and 1 bird. My husband and I have been married for 34 years. He has been very supportive of me and what endeavors I want to get involved in. We have 3 adult children and 7 grandchildren and live in Ohio. I fell in love with primitive crafts after my sister introduced me to them. So we opened an onlineshop called Darshea Prims. In my spare time I like to read, listen to music, camping and spending time with our family. But most of all I love creating and sewing primitive crafts.

Meet Nancy
My name is Nancy and I live in Stockton Springs, Maine, with my husband Michael and two cats and a dog. Between us, we have four children who are all grown and living on their own. We have two grandchildren, a boy Brendan, and a girl Alyssa, who lives out in Washington state, so we have only seen her in person once. Brendan is my daughters boy, and they live in Maine, so I see him as much as I possible can! She is pregnant again, and due in October! Im very happy in my role as grandmother. I started crafting with crocheting which my grandmother taught me. I started making candles about five years ago. And then I learned soap making! But, my husband and I do a lot of crafting projects as well, this summer we hope to have bird houses and feeders.

Meet Shari
Hi Y’all! I live in the Piedmont section of NC with my very supportive husband, Bill. We have 2 daughters Cait and Amity, along with 2 grandchildren, Alex (4) and Miss Elle (almost 2). Sewing, crafting and painting have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My close friends say it is in my blood as I never seem to get tired of creating and learning something new.
I opened my web site in 2004, and take pride in offering mostly handmade in NC homespun and primitive gatherings. I am constantly coming up with new ideas to make and sell from my web site and 2 craft booths where I rent space. Recently, I have also started selling on Etsy. One of a kind pieces and custom orders are my favorites!
I am so pleased to be a part of Little House Mercantile and the community. Please let me know if I can be of assistance to you! Blessings to all, Shari

Meet Jeanie

Meet Tammy
I'm a homeschooling stay-at-home mom. I have a 14 yr old daughter who can pretty much work on her own which leaves me time for working on my many online endeavors. I started selling on E-bay then went to my own store, Cupcakes Wagon. I love decorating my gardens and deck and have had a ball finding things to use to decorate. Reading and of course crafting are two of my passions, and of course gardening in the spring and summer. I also have 2 other loves, besides my daughter and my store, they're my husband of 4 years, and my pooch Pooh Bear.
I'm excited about working with Little House Mercantile and assisting everyone here to the best of my ability.

Meet Michelle
I’ve been married for 18 years to my hubby Scott and we have 4 wonderfully active boys (Ian, Drew, Seth & Chase). I have always loved to be creative, but usually gave everything I made away. I finally put that creativity to work for me and opened Ugly Duckling Designs in 2003. I started with all the local craft shows until I opened the website www.theuglyducklingdesigns.com in 2005. Now, the business has grown so much that I only have time to do just one big craft show each year. The rest of my time is spent supplying over 50 retail shoppes and our many website customers with our products. And, if that’s not enough, I’m also the church pianist and teach 10 piano students during the week.

Meet Lynne
I am 51 years old and I have spent my life in the customer service and administrative fields. The last 15 years or so I have been self employed and I have thoroughly enjoyed that. I work from an office at home and I spend every spare minute that I can find dreaming of crafting, searching web sites to pour over what others have made, and making dolls – mostly babies. I also spend a good deal of time knitting caps and booties for my babies – it has become somewhat of an obsession and my preferred form of relaxation. I just love to create and I have two web sites – one is for administrative stuff like newsletters, brochures, etc – as well as invitations, and just about anything you can create on paper. My other site is just for babies, dolls, lovies of any kind as well as patterns and other fun stuff. I have four boys ages 30, 27, 21, and 12! They are my greatest accomplishment and my greatest joy. Oh and I also have a husband, Greg – he works with me as well as having a full time job in retail management.
