Go On, Have a Look.


Some Things That Caught My Eye 

There was lots of stuff going on all over the place this week.......etsy, blogs, facebook. You name it, things were buzzing.

I was happy to find a shop that I've featured here before on the Muse, had made it to the front page of etsy as the 'featured seller'. Three cheers for oldnewhouse and David and Melissa Lynn.


Fantastic getting to know them better and I always enjoy seeing studio/office spaces. By the way, be sure to read David's answer to 'what inspires him'. Talk about a hopeless romantic.


My blogging/etsy friend Cari-Jane of Hybrid Handmade, had good news to share this week. She attended London Fashion Week with the 'Hybrid Handmade Husband', who happens to design seriously cool shoes. What a trip! The Hybrid Handmade Husband is now on the shortlist for Drapers 'Best Footwear Designer of the Year'. Congrats to the 'triple h'!


Love the shot Cari got of the entrance to Somerset House. Black and white awesomeness. Oh yeah, I just made that word up. Got a problem with that?
Did you miss Marketing 101 this week? That's because I didn't have a Marketing 101 post this week silly. 

However, I did come across a great post by Bonnie of paperkeeper via her facebook page.

Some great things to ponder, including turning envy on it's head, lessons she learned from a little blue dinosaur and small things that may affect how people perceive your business. Really worth a read.

Question for you? Are you all following Bates Mercantile Co. on facebook? If you're not, I'd just love it if you did. I'm often posting about things on facebook that I don't talk about here on Mercantile Muse and I wouldn't want you to miss out. It could be disastrous. Plus, I enjoy having company. 
Hope you all had a great week. You all made mine a little bit better and I thank you for that. It's funny how the challenges in life are what bring us all together, because we all face them at some point. Loss is never easy, but it's a little easier when you know others can relate.

Nothing much planned for the weekend. Bruins game on TV tonight (which may throw me all off because it's usually a Saturday game....hey, didn't you know that I'm a creature of habit?), laundry, sorting through stuff and organizing. Hugely exciting, eh? What about you? What's on the books?

Freeform Friday

Here's a little something from Mr. Cliff that always makes me feel better and brightens my day (even when it's gray and ugly like today).  Click here if you're reading via email.



Live large, seize the day and celebrate life and your loved ones. It's what really matters in the end.

peace out,
