The Mercantile Market
Join us for the very first Mercantile Market—a small but heartfelt gathering of neighbors, makers, and good food, tucked into the back behind Day by Day Mercantile. What was once an overlooked space is getting a warm refresh with twinkle lights, cozy rugs, and greenery to create a rustic, welcoming nook in the heart of the community. ✨
Come stroll and enjoy the simple things: fresh baked breads 🍞homemade sweets 🧁hand-poured candles 🕯️and yummy eats 🍔 This intimate market is all about slowing down, supporting local, and making space to connect—with the people around us and the place we call home. 🏠
👉🏻Stay tuned on our page for the release of bi-weekly participating vendors! We wanted to take this a step further & spread the local love. We will be teaming up with neighboring businesses to create a block party feel that celebrates collaboration and community. 🤝
🗓️We’ll be here every other Thursday evening, and as the season grows, so will we—with fresh produce and new vendors planned for the summer. 🌽
Now onto the fun details!
- We will be announcing the participating vendors + local business collaborations on our page bi-weekly!
- We ask that you please do not park in the back alley & enter in through the front of the store. 🚗
- We will be taking card, but the vendors would prefer cash/Venmo, please! 💵👍🏻
- We will have adult beverages available for purchase! 🍻
We can't wait for this addition & to continue supporting the community. 🤍

Join us for a fabulous afternoon of live music with Joshua Sinclair on the patio-- right along the mighty Mississippi!
About Joshua Sinclair: If Eric Church, Ed Sheeran, & The Black Keys all had a baby together, their musical bundle-of-joy would be JOSHUA SINCLAIR. Using only a guitar, a microphone and a loop pedal, he performs originals off his past 17 albums as well as putting his own spin on cover tunes. With songs that'll make you laugh, sing along, and raise a cold one in the air, Sinclair brings the party to each and every one of his shows.

Live Music by Forrest McCurren at River Ridge Brewing
Join us for a fabulous afternoon of live music with Forrest McCurren on the patio-- right along the mighty Mississippi!
Forrest McCurren comes from the heart of the heartland, where the foothills of the Ozarks meet the Big Muddy: The Middle-of-Missouri. Blazing his own trail while stylistically tipping his hat to the songwriting giants of the past, McCurren wields the magic of lyricism to cast a light on the many intricacies of everyday life set against vignettes of Middle America. Tackling topics such as: wise words from waitresses, heartbroken high school football standouts, and tattooed trailer park lovers, McCurren writes songs for good people that got bad grades in school, are drunk on dreams, and still trying to figure out if life is sour or sweet.

What is Think & Drink Music Bingo
Just like “regular bingo, but we replaced bingo numbers, like “B15”, with parts of songs. If you know the song title (no phones, devices or apps- basically no cheating), then place a bingo chip on that square. Get 5 squares in a row and you’re a winner!!
If it doesn’t say Think & Drink, you’re at the wrong place!


Grandma's 100 Year Birthday Celebration + HOSPICE Fundraiser!
If you are new to the store & this page.. welcome! 👋🏻Day By Day Mercantile is named in honor of my late grandmother, Verna! 🏠She was a HUGE part of my life growing up & IS the inspiration behind the entire brand. She would have been 100 years old this year & I feel it's so important to carry on her honor & celebrate her earthside on her special day. 🎉One of my grandma's favorite drinks to prepare for a holiday (or a hot afternoon after mowing the lawn) was grasshoppers!
We invite you to stop by the mercantile & celebrate grandma's birthday weekend with us.. we will have grasshoppers available for purchase & a table of baked goodies setup. 🍪We ask you to grab a plate of baked goods to take home to share with your loved ones, or maybe you can deliver them to someone special in your life. If you aren’t able to make the event, but still want to make a donation, please shoot me a message! We would be happy to deliver a plate of baked goods & a nice message to your loved one! All baked goods are FREE.. we will be taking donations! 🤝
💰ALL PROCEEDS & DONATIONS from this event will go back to Hospice of Jackson County! Hospice was there for my family & my grandma in so many ways up until her last breath. I would love nothing more than for them to be a part of this! So.. let's celebrate the lady behind Day By Day & GIVE BACK to hospice! 🤍We hope to see you!
