Look at what Lynn Hildebrandt, a local Navasota resident, wrote about us in our newspaper:

"We have many art forms represented within Grimes County. One of our most interesting talents is on display amongst the antiques for sale at the new business W.C. Mercantile, which is owned by Petra Wright and Stephanie Cunningham. Mohair from locally raised Angora goats is homespun into yarn on the premises as Petra and her daughter Stephanie skillfully work their spinning wheels. This yarn is then hand-dyed and packaged for sale. Other fibers are also spun into colorful skeins which are ready for purchase. Everyone will take delight in visiting this new Navasota attraction and getting to know Petra and Stephanie!
W.C. Mercantile offers booth rentals at a very reasonable rate. Local artists and craftsmen are welcome to share the space in this store. What an exciting place this will become as our local talents gather there to display their works and share their skills! By joining in a co-op such as this, an artist can keep his/her day job and still display their art works for sale without having to be present all the time. Artists' creations are often one of a kind, and are the future priceless treasures of this world!"

We only met her for a few minutes. I can't believe what wonderful things she wrote, how nice!!
