Meet the newest (oldest 😉) addition to Mettie’s Mercantile & Tea Shoppe in Blanco, TX…
🤠 13 feet long.
🏚️ 8 feet tall.
🌾 Solid wood.
❤️ Packed with history.
✨ I like to imagine this beautiful mercantile fixture once stood inside an old Texas general store, long before electricity, automobiles, or online shopping. Folks would gather to buy flour, fabric, dry goods, and all the necessities of life.
And now… after all these years… it’s home again in a Texas mercantile. 🥹
☕ On one side, friends gather for tea, laughter, and sweet memories.
🛍️ On the other, shoppers hunt for vintage treasures and forgotten finds.
A huge THANK YOU to my amazing husband, Marc Wilcox, and my son, David Wilcox, for somehow wrestling this 13-foot beast into the building! 💪😂 And thank you to everyone who shopped our furniture sale and helped us make room for its grand arrival.
🏡 The store feels completely transformed… or maybe I should say it’s a whole new old store! 😄
