What we carry

Six shelves, one rule: only things we'd want in our own home.

Our stock changes with the seasons and with what our makers are up to, but you'll always find these six corners of the shop.

Home decor

Vases, frames, throws, small wall art and the little pieces that make a room feel finished.

Kitchen & tableware

Handmade ceramics, wooden boards, linens and everyday tools that earn their spot on the counter.

Candles & self-care

Hand-poured soy candles, bath goods and small comforts for slow evenings at home.

Gifts & stationery

Greeting cards, notebooks, pens and thoughtful gifts for birthdays, hosts and just-because.

Bags & accessories

Woven market totes, pouches, hats and simple jewelry for everyday carry.

Seasonal & holiday

A rotating shelf for fall, the holidays, spring and summer — the first thing you'll see when you walk in.

About the shop

Meet Meg

Hi, I'm Megan Whitfield — Meg to just about everyone. I grew up in Dayton, Ohio, spent seven years managing a boutique here in Austin, and opened Whitfield Mercantile in March 2022 with one idea: a neighborhood store that carries the things I'd actually want in my own home.

Everything on our shelves is picked by hand. We work with small makers here in Texas and across the country — potters, candle makers, printers and textile artists — and we'd rather carry one great version of something than ten okay ones.

When I'm not at the shop you'll find me thrifting, cooking, or out on a trail with a camera. Come say hi.

“Shop small, live big.” — Meg Whitfield, owner
