I set out on a quest this weekend to honor Small Shop Saturday and ended up at Hunt and Burrow Mercantile, a local Artisan Shopping Mall.  It is a truly splendid place, filled with all things handmade, antique and fantastically original. 

A quote from their Facebook page is a great summation of their quest:  "We are committed to promoting our region's artisan ethos by providing workshop and studio space.  Makers find the ideal showcase for their finely crafted goods here with us.  Creators of rustic modern furniture, vendors of one-of-a-kind home goods, and hunters of antiques all find a place here.  Our large building boasts room enough for a diverse collection of local craftsmanship."
