Spring 2023

A post every 6 months? Okay - so this is not my jam! :-)

What’s new since I last did an update? SEVEN ACRE DAIRY is now open. The restored creamery is an 8 room boutique hotel, a full service restaurant and bar and a beautiful Dairy Cafe. They feature butter and soft serve ice cream sourced from local farms and made by our own award-winning Landmark Creamery. We are so lucky to have them in town and I cannot wait to have a beverage on their outdoor patio this summer! That view of the Sugar River is certainly magical.

We have some fabulous new art & artists at PRM - jewelry, ceramics and art. We are still working on updating the website and online “stuff” - I’m doing my best to get some new photos posted. If you are interested in knowing about the current work we have in the gallery - insta message or text me at 608-334-4044 and we can certainly show you all the pieces we have. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook for photos when we get in new work from our artists.

Linked in Paoli - permanent jewelry (welded, claspless chains) is ready to go. We are focusing on fine gold chains in yellow, white and rose gold. Text me and we can set up a 15 minute appointment. Appointment calendar is coming soon.

Do you know The Hop Garden has live music all winter long? Follow Discover Paoli on Insta/Facebook or check out the Discover Paoli website for events.

Well - it’s almost April! Summer is coming soon - always a fun time to visit Paoli. Live music, great dining, kayaking down the Sugar River, fun beverages, artisan cheese, and great shopping!

You have been asking for classes and we are getting the back studio set up to start doing some beginning jewelry making classes soon. We’ll be sure to post it when we are ready to kick it off.

Hope to see you soon!

We've moved to 6904 Paoli Rd!

Great news - after 3 years in the stone scale house, we’ve moved.

We are now in the old CLUCK location in a beautiful new space. In the gallery we have beautiful jewelry, art and local goods. And ….now we have the jewelry studios of hrsdesigns and Studio DeBre´ in the space. We have so many ideas and plans to tell you about. Soon.

Wear a mask and come visit!

We are moving - May 2020!

*Literally, BIG NEWS!*

 Paoli Road Mercantile is moving into a BIG bright, beautiful new space right down the block!!!  

The new location will be in the former home of CLUCK The Chicken Store at 6904 Paoli Road, located just 4 doors down from our current location.

 One of the best most exciting things about the new location (other than it being about 8 times our current size) is that Hannah Wong of HRSdesigns and myself (Julie Walser of Studio DeBre´) will have our metalsmithing and design studios located in the building. 

 Hannah is already a PRM artist and we are both excited for the opportunity for more custom design, customer appointments, hosting workshops (someday!) and events in the space. It’s going to be magical with the gallery and studios in one location.  An expanded selection of HRSdesigns and Studio DeBre´ jewelry will be featured in the gallery

 We are also excited to expand the number of artists we represent, as well as host exhibits, trunk shows, demos, and receptions in the future!  

We are going to miss the amazing little stone scale house we are currently in, but so excited on what the future brings!   

 Our big move will happen in May 2020 with an official opening reception in early June.
