My husband Mike and I had no idea what we were getting into when we decided to open a retail store AND a nonprofit. It took hard work and determination and a great partnership with our now Executive Director of Blossom IDD, Ms. Samantha Bear. We are most grateful to Sam for taking this journey with us. We have grown so much in such a short period of time and we look forward to our nonprofit reaching very high goals.
We hope you will consider joining us for this very special event. All proceeds from the fundraiser will be supporting Blossom IDD. Help us give these young adults an opportunity to explore how they can feel and become more independent within our community, but most importantly in their own lives. Details of the event can be found on our website at BlossomIDD.org/growing-
If you haven’t had a chance yet to visit the Cedarburg Mercantile I invite you to stop in and see some of the talented young adults we have here. Our store is a platform to showcase these items but we go far beyond that. Our store is the first step in showing to our community that we support and encourage our IDD members and to bring awareness to others in the area that we have a talent out there just waiting to be recognized. Our Exceptional Artists are excited for you to see their creativity. We have had many customers give us the best compliment of “I am so glad to see a store like this in our community” or “what a special place this is”.

Bountiful Harvest Tour
AEppelTreow is an artisan cidery and distillary using local crops to make draft hard ciders, orchard table wines, sparkling, aperitif and unique Wisconsin spirits. This is a family run winery that uses regionally grown fruit. They produce elegant fruit wines using a hand intensive philosophy. Their specialty is a sparkling apple wine, traditionally made from a blend of apples our ancestors knew-Russets and Pippens, Codlins and Crabs. In Old English, the word ‘aeppeltreow’ or ‘apple true’, refers to both the apple tree, and to essence of the apple. 1072 288th Avenue, (County B) Burlington, WI www.aeppletreow.com262.878.5345

Here’s an old cast iron book binding press. These super heavy machines were made to last! We’re pretty sure these go back to the 1800s. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they still used them today. Makes a great conversation piece for the office, den or library. Might even want it for the man cave or that torture chamber you’ve been wanting to put in. Available at Pardeeville Antique Mall, located at 103 Industrial Drive, Pardeeville, WI. They are open 7 days a week, 10am-4:30pm. Call 608-429-9393 or check www.Pardeevilleantiques.com for more information. The perfect day trip from every direction!
This elongated, Original Pottery piece was masterfully created in 1969. The potters name is signed on the bottom of this Vase, E. LEITNER.

This and many unexpected finds are waiting for you at Strumpet and Tart. This is a new shop located right outside the East Troy Village Square. Find an ever-changing selection of New, Used, Vintage, and Eclectic Statement Pieces Wednesday through Sunday 11am-6pm.
