So, this place was recommended to me, but I foolishly ignored the recommendation for a long time. When I did stop in, I immediately realized this place has a very cool, very authentic, and very unique feel to it. You'll be immediately greeted by an enormous 48 star American flag, which sets the stage for a club-like experience. We were welcomed by Travis where I learned his story and that of the shop. Locally sourced products blended with some of the finest examples of old fashioned craftsmanship from across the Nation can be found here. Head upstairs to what can best be described as a comfortable, welcoming club room and find unique, well-made products with a masculine look and feel.
I picked up a few candles from the candle bar (yep, you read that right), incense cones (look for the one called Desert Sage from the Square Trade Goods Co.), a felt banner, a bundle of Palo Santo wood incense, a concrete ashtray, and a hand forged brass cuff. All of them were selected because they are useful and well made, but you really can't go wrong wIth most anything in this shop. They have done a great job of curating a collection of high quality products from true artisans who care about what they make. It's this kind of authenticity that we need more of in these times in my opinion and Manready Mercantile delivers.
Oh, (for those of age) why not shop with an on-the-house Old Fashioned cocktail while you're at it? Indeed, they are gracious hosts here! So, consider checking it out. I think you'll be glad you did.
