This month's Curated Collection celebrates Summer in the South--and what better way to celebrate than with fresh veggies?  This collection's theme is centered around the joy of Summer's harvest.  

We have selected two kitchen towels that are sure to brighten up any kitchen.  Soft and stylish, these towels will give a vintage feel to the most used room in the house!

The only true way to enjoy the bounty of Summer is to cook up those fresh vegetables for dinner!  We have thrown in one of our classic southern recipes, printed on a Southern Mercantile recipe card, just waiting to be added to your collection.  

​If you haven't tried our Okra and Tomatoes recipe, you should!  It is full of flavor and always a crowd pleaser.  You don't have to purchase this collection to try it out for yourself, just head on over to our Recipe Archive to check it out!  And if you are looking for a few other ways to enjoy your fresh okra this Summer, check out our blog, 5 Ways to Serve Okra!

Since you already know and love our blue enamelware pieces, we couldn't wait to introduce our new line of white enamel in this collection!  We chose the ever-popular rectangle tray, but don't worry, the other pieces will be available online soon!

We hope this collection speaks to you, as it did us.  We always love this time of year and the fresh variety that it brings.  Make a point to shop your local farmers markets this Summer and find inspiration in all that is blooming!

​While you're out and about, use the hashtag #SMfarmersmarketfinds so we can follow along!  Tell us what you're cooking up, and let's celebrate summer together!

This month's curated collection is one of our favorite ones yet, and we can't wait to introduce it to you!  We're bundling these hand-picked items to start your summer off right, in true Southern Mercantile fashion!

Our Southern Mercantile Spring Tee features one of our favorite quotes by Oscar Wilde, "With freedom, books, flowers and the moon, who could not be happy?".  Not only is this tee unique to The Southern Mercantile, but it is also a custom design, hand painted by our very own Katelyn!  Doesn't Laurel look cool and comfy in your new favorite tee? 

We chose to do this design on a comfortable v-neck in heathered navy, with bright white print, perfect for showing off the artwork.  

You know how much we love Rifle Paper Co., so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to add in a floral notebook set to this bundle!  This set of paper-back notebooks come with lined pages in three different designs.  Brighten up your home or office with this fun addition.

Last, but not least, we have chosen one of our favorite bracelets to finish out the collection!  Available in three colors, choose the one that fits your personality and wardrobe best--green, grey or plum!  Made from soft leather and shimmery beads, this bracelet is sure to become a staple.  It has two snaps for adjusting, so it should be the perfect fit!

We hope you are as excited about this collection as we are!  Quantities are limited, so be sure to check it out soon!  If you choose to forego the collection, but would still like one of our custom tees, they are also sold separately!

​In this month's collection, we are ringing in Spring!  We can't wait to host a lovely brunch for our family and break out our Easter best.  This collection contains the perfect accessories for your kitchen for such an occasion!  

​If you have been following us, you know that our blue enamelware is a staple around here.  We keep it stocked for our shows, as well as online, because we just can't get enough of it!  Whether you're using it for display purposes, or serving up your favorite treats, this enamel food-safe tray is a wonderful piece to have in your collection.  

​When it comes to staying organized in the kitchen, Rifle Paper Co. is our go-to line for practical, yet chic, memo pads, recipe cards, and planners!  This cute market list will help you feel spry as a spring chicken when planning your weekly grocery run.

​There is something nostalgic about old candy molds--and we just love this reproduction mold of a hen!  It is the perfect little set-about for a bookshelf or window sill when decorating for Spring.

​Last, but not least, we have chosen to share two sample sizes of our homemade jellies with you - nestled ever so cutely in a nest!  The muscadines and strawberries that we craft our specialty jellies with are grown right here in our little community, at Paulk Vineyards!  These jellies are always a crowd pleaser and would be perfect for your Easter brunch.  Try them out for yourself to decide which is your family's favorite!

As always, we are offering this collection at a discount because we think that these items are just that perfect for Spring!  Hop on over to the store and take one home today!

We're looking forward to spring and all things becoming green again! Of course, the weather here in the South bounces back and forth so much, it's hard to know when spring will actually stay. So, the best way to enjoy some green is to bring it inside, and our March Curated Collection is a great way to do just that!

Let's start with our "House Plants" book. Inside, you'll find pictures of beautiful house plants with all the instructions you need for them to grow and bloom in your own home. There are so many lovely plants to choose from in this book, some of which you may be familiar with, but there are other more exotic ones you may have never heard of, like a Swiss Cheese Plant or Flaming Dragon!

Of course, one of our all-time favorite plants has always been sweet little succulents like this. They're easy to take care of, don't make a mess, and just add a little life to any decor. Aren't they just adorable on Roxie and Tara's porches? One succulent from Tara and Roxie's home collections will be carefully wrapped and included in your March Curated Collection! 

One of our new favorite products is this glass plant mister! It makes it so easy to give your succulent just enough water, and it's fun to use too! And, it's so pretty, you can leave it out so you'll use it more often than any other method of watering.

Your succulent or any other small plant will fit perfectly in this white-washed, Moroccan-inspired ceramic planter. Its subtle color goes with any decor and just brightens up your space.

Order your March Curated Collection today, as we have limited quantities available, and you don't want to miss out! Go ahead and bring a little spring to your home!

We are so excited about the Southern Mercantile Curated Collection for February! The inspiration for this month's collection was our love of berries, and since berry season is approaching quickly, we couldn't be more excited! It will soon be time to start putting up strawberry jam and making fresh blueberry muffins, and this collection is just what you need to get you in the berry season spirit!

The February collection includes: The cookbook "Berries" by Eliza Cross, a jar of our homemade strawberry jam, a pewter spreader and a decorative heart dish.

This little cookbook is one of our favorites! It is full of mouth-watering recipes and beautiful pictures to inspire you. From Strawberry Sweet Rolls to Blackberry-Glazed Spiral Ham, you are going to want to try every one! There's even a whole section on Jams and Preserves for those of you that have been wanting to try your hand at putting up your own jellies.

Use this cute little spreader the next time you have guests over to feature The Southern Mercantile Strawberry Jam (or your favorite jam or pepper jelly) served over cream cheese. This is the perfect little utensil for such a tempting appetizer.

You can't get through February without a nod to Valentine's Day. This small galvanized metal heart dish gives just a touch of love to your home during this special month. It is perfect for holding individually wrapped candies or little guest soaps in the bathroom. Line it with a sheet of parchment paper and fill it with heart shaped sugar cookies or red and pink m & m's. (The surface is not food-safe so a lining is necessary for food or loose candy.) The possibilities for this little cutie are endless.

Order your February Curated Collection quick as there is a limited supply! While you are here, check out the store for other great Valentine's Day Gift Ideas, like the Valentine's Day Sugar Cookie kit. We even have a tutorial to show you how to ice your sugar cookies like a professional! Place your orders by February 7th, 2019, to ensure delivery by Valentine's Day.

We hope the month of love is good to you this year!  As you prepare to pass out cookies and make homemade Valentines with little ones, we'd like to leave you with a verse that we have adopted as our one of our favorites at the shop, 1 Peter 4:8 It is always a good reminder of why we must choose to love and not hate, and to use any gift we have been given to bless others.  Even the gift of baking!

"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ."

Happy February from The Southern Mercantile!

It's Christmas time y'all and we couldn't be more excited!  We just love this time of year--all of the joy it brings, and of course, the twinkle lights! The Southern Merc girls had a good time putting together a few favorites for this month's collection, and it happens to be our best deal yet!

This "Christmas Cheer" collection includes a beautiful hooked pillow, a holiday scented candle, two rolls of wrapping paper, and our hand stamped gift tag kit.

Paddywax Holiday scented candles are our absolute favorite at the shop.  This Vanilla Bean and Cinnamon candle tin is the perfect size to drop in your favorite votive holder and fill any room in your home with the soothing scent of the holidays.  Just enough sweet and just enough spice, the perfect mix to set the tone of Christmas in the air. 

We have been mad for plaid this year, and for black and white!  This wrapping paper will definitely make a statement under your tree.  Tie on one of our hand stamped "Joyeux Noel" tags (because who doesn't need a little French in their life) and a beautiful faux greenery to dress up your packages and show off your gift wrapping skills.  If you need a little help with gift wrapping inspiration, we have a tutorial for that!  Click HERE to find Roxie's best tips on wrapping the perfect presents!

This Christmas Cheer pillow is sure to add a splash of holiday to your favorite resting place.  Whether couch, chair or bed, this black and white beauty will be just right!

These items are being offered at an incredible discount that you don't want to miss, a $75 value for $55!  Whether you're shopping for yourself or know just the person on your list that would love one of these items, you can't go wrong with this month's Southern Mercantile Curated Collection!  Happy Shopping and Happy Holidays from The Southern Mercantile!

When asked about the holidays, most southerners will eventually (or immediately) talk about food, especially desserts. Since the holidays are just around the corner, we've put together November's Curated Collection to help you prepare!

The beautiful "Southern Baked" cookbook begins with the author's recipe for "Southern Baked Pie Dough." Master that recipe as the base for most of the scrumptious sweet and savory pies organized by month. (Or, use refrigerated pie crust!) November features yummy Turkey Pot Pies to use up leftover turkey and vegetables. You can also find recipes for Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie, Cranberry Pear Pie, and Roasted Sweet Potato Pie with Pecan Streusel for a unique spin on some typical holiday pies.

With the many holiday gatherings coming up, you're sure to find new dishes you'd love the recipe for - or maybe someone asks for yours! Use our lovely Rifle Paper Company recipe cards to write down old and new family recipes to pass down. We've also included a sturdy wooden spoon and a linen "Hey Y'all" hand towel to use in your kitchen or to pass on as a hostess gift. 

We hope you're looking forward to the holidays as much as we are! There's nothing like gathering with family and friends, talking, laughing, eating, catching up, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

As the weather cools off for fall, we begin to bring the outdoors in, so our first Curated Collection starts with our pretty and informative Little Book of House Plants. It features a beautiful picture of a different house plant on every page, as well as how to take care of it, which is super helpful for those with less than green thumbs! ​​

We also include a set of our lovely pocket notebooks from Rifle Paper Co. to use as an indoor field journal to keep track of watering and fertilizing your house plants.

Of course as you bring plants into your home, you’ll want to integrate them into your decor, not just plop them down wherever there’s room. That’s why we’re including our wire photo/card holder. Use it to display a photograph (or a card to remind you to water your plants!).

​You’ll also find a cute ceramic pot with the best little surprise inside - one of our adorable live succulents! To learn how to plant your succulent properly, see our handy tutorial, Potting and Rooting Succulents with Mr. Crain. (No two of our sweet little succulents look just alike, so the one you receive may not look exactly like the one pictured.)

We hope you’re as excited as we are about this new way for us to share our favorites with you! Our Curated Collection will change every month, so don’t wait to purchase yours. Some of the products may not even be around that long!
