Timberdoodle Mercantile

Seven owners shop for unusual and useful things to fill this two-story house. Accessories and supplies for parties and entertaining, condiments, cards, and Polish pottery are downstairs. It's easy to miss the handbags, yarns and crafts, toys, used books, and lighthouse items upstairs. Books by co-owner Jan Kellis are on hand and signed. Her new title Bookworms Anonymous combines sketches of small-town life with book recommendations and recipes for a different kind of book club, where everyone doesn't read the same thing.
