Treasures Galore From Ceiling to Floor at The Olde Mercantile in Troy NY

It's been about five years since I've shared this gem of a shop on the blog, and in the 6 years since I first told you about The Olde Mercantile, the shop has moved and expanded.  I think its current location and set up is the best yet - offering a large, beautifully lit store filled with so many vendors and fabulous parking right in front of their location on Pawling Avenue in Troy.

Dolores has been curating the best of merchandise and crafters for many years resulting in a great destination for all your country and primitive needs.   We made a stop at the Mercantile Friday on our way home from Bluebird Home Decor and Dirty Bird Antiques & Uniques in Schodack.  It was pretty buzzing with shoppers so I couldn't get photos of every booth, but I managed to get a good sampling to give you an idea of what the Merchantile has to offer.

I love so many booths, but my favorite is the Overtime Antiques and More.  The last time we visited I bought an old wooden shoe form.  

Don't ask me what other booths I love.....I couldn't possibly choose.  So much talent, so little space to allow me to acquire more.  Oh.....the temptation.

If you're not already in your car headed to The Olde Mercantile...what are you waiting for?  Christmas is only 11 days away!!  Make a date to visit the Mercantile, Bluebird and Dirty Bird....just don't be mad at me when you come home with a lighter wallet and a trunkful of goodies!    For more information about The Olde Mercantile...check out their Facebook page:

They are open Wednesday-Sunday.  Check their page for hours and directions.  Thanks for letting me share these three amazing small businesses in Rensselaer county.  During these trying times, it's good to shop locally and support our own.
