Wheel House Mercantile is a love story - woven from lace-trimmed tablecloths, tea-stained pages, and the soft clink of vintage china passed from hand to hand. 

​

It's a story I share with my mama, who taught me early on that beauty isn't always new. I grew up watching her host the most magical gatherings, setting long tables with her treasured crystal and antique dishes - each place setting a quiet invitation to slow down and savor. Those moments stayed with me, whispering gently as I grew: old things still have stories left to tell. 

​

Together, my mom and I now hunt for forgotten pieces - items once tucked away in attics, donated with a sigh, or quietly waiting on a dusty shelf. We choose them with care, imagining who once held them... and who might love them next. Every teacup, tray, and handmade jewelry in our shop has been given a second chance to shine - ready to bring warmth, wonder, and just a bit of nostalgia to your home. 

We run our little shop out of my 41-ft RV - loving called our "Wheel House" - where vintage treasures are wrapped, polished, and packed with care, all from the heart of our tiny home.

​

We also make jewelry from antique and vintage china pieces. Each piece of our jewelry begins as something once loved - a chipped teacup, a cracked plate, a forgotten dish tucked away in the back of a cabinet. We carefully cut, shape, and polish each shard by hand, turning what was once broken into something beautiful and new. No two pieces are ever quite the same, but each one carries a story - of past tables, present hands, and the quiet magic of giving something a second chance to shine. 

​

At Wheel House Mercantile, we don't just collect things.

We rescue them, restore them, and release them into the world again - like heirlooms in the waiting.

Here's to Second Chances & Beautiful Things,
