About

Why Bluewater Mercantile? I couldn't decide on one hobby and stick with a name so this is my little hub to support on my little hobbies: sewing/crafts, digital art and thrifting.

Hi, I’m Melissa, the person behind Bluewater Mercantile. I’m a longtime small business owner and creative who previously owned Daisy Fox Bakery, where I ran a storefront on London Road for nearly four years.

After my health began to decline, I made the decision to slow down and reimagine my work and daily life. Bluewater Mercantile grew from that shift, a place to explore new ideas at a gentler pace, without the pressure of fitting into just one category.

Today, Bluewater Mercantile is home to:

To my handmade goods such as sewing, crochet and other hobbies. Digital art that I get made into stickers and keychains. Vintage finds from estate sales.

Supporting Bluewater Mercantile means supporting a real person and local story.
