About Us

Hi, I’m Lisa, the maker behind Mini Mercantile Co. — and I’m so glad you’re here.

Creativity has been stitched into my life from the very beginning. As a kid, you could always find me making something — drawing, painting, sewing, crafting, or learning any hands-on skill I could get my little creative hands on. Influences from my dad’s construction background and my mom’s design magazines fed my imagination in different ways, shaping how I saw spaces, objects, and the details that bring them to life.

In a busy life with young kids and a career in property management, I found myself craving a creative outlet — something just for me. So, I leaned back into the creativity that had always been there since childhood. What started as a small, peaceful escape quickly grew into a full-blown passion… maybe even obsession — and eventually, into Mini Mercantile Co.

Today, I specialize in vintage-inspired minis that blend old-world character with modern farmhouse charm. Many pieces are inspired by antiques I collect or objects I’ve loved my whole life. Each item is thoughtfully designed, hand-finished, and packaged with care, with the hope that it brings a spark of joy to your miniature world.

Mini Mercantile Co. has given me so much — friendships with incredible makers, opportunities to travel to shows across the country, and a creative community I adore. It’s something I get to share with my kids, too, especially my daughter, who loves organizing the dollhouse and giving me design feedback (lots of it!).

I truly believe the small things — in life and in miniatures — can make the biggest impact. Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting a small maker with a big love for little things.
