Catch the latest…

What’s new at Artisans?  Well, just about everything but name and location!

On July 1st, Judi Ramsey, former manager of the Snohomish GroWashington store, took over as the new owner of ARTISANS MERCANTILE!

With the change in ownership, there has been some inevitable changes: in hours, in staff, in products carried… well you get the picture.

Something exciting is the formation of the new Children’s Corner, where you will find local children’s authors Sue Straub-Martin and Saacha Belgar books, as well as kids Hawaiian style shirts and some fantastic jumper dresses.  Baby blankets, teething dolls, bibs, children’s jewelry and more are available now all in one area.

Pretty Pallets joined us a bit earlier in the year and brought with them signs and pillows with great graphics and witty sayings.  They also hold classes where you can make your own sign with your own personal flair!

Sky Valley Works is a great new start-up company making natural and wholesome products like soaps, laundry detergent, cleaning scrubs, bath salts, and a few more interesting bits and pieces.  They will personalize your detergent scent at your request, and work hard at using local and organic in their products.

With the coming of Fabric Crafts by Nancy we now have cup cozies, bottle cozies, tea cozies…. hmm, I am sensing a trend here – Nancy likes to wrap things up – like with her wonderful bib and 1/2 aprons.  These are just a few of the things Nancy creates.  Come in and see the selection!

EKRdoodle Art and Creatives brings their lines EKRdoodles, filled with fun irreverent bits and pieces, as well as 47th and Pioneer which is vintage inspired, and often vintage recreated.  They also recreate with books, making fun “smash” type journals as well as art books and regular journals.

Willow Creek Pottery has joined us recently with a lovely line of nature inspired pieces – from leaf plates to small oil jugs emblazoned with leaves.  Dipping bowls, garlic and olive oil dipping bowls, mead cups, and so much more are available on the shelves at Artisans now!

Little Bird Designs has joined us with their lovely Swarovski  crystal and beaded necklaces, earrings and rings.  Bling this simple and elegant works for any woman!  Danielle has a real hand at making an understated statement!

Keltic Kraze is the latest artist to join us.  Ruth creates amazing and useful pieces of art by wood burning and painting practical pieces for your home – tables, boxes, wooden spoons and more.

Yes, there has been a lot of changes but one thing remains the same.  Our commitment to local NW small businesses that create wonderful products.

Stay tuned for more updates as we add more product lines and small businesses to our family!
