 The Crossroads Mercantile is an apparel and gifts shop,
specializing in hand crafted gifts and custom sewn clothing. Located in the historical town of Waitsburg, WA, the shop occupies a building that was originally a millinery shop in the
1800's - the picture doesn't do it justice - and employs talented local seamstresses to sew the garments offered on this site. All products are produced locally. The owner of the shop, Linda
Hermanns' first love is creating Victorian and Old West reproductions. Quality and authenticity is always the focus at The Crossroads Mercantile. Please visit when you are in the area.
 Proprietress Linda Hermanns is an experienced seamstress, certified Clothing and Textile
Advisor, certified Quilting Advisor, a certified instructor in sidesaddle, and has shown extensively in english and western, both astride and sidesaddle. Linda is also a member of the
Old West Shooters Society and the Tea Society which focuses on the Victorian era. She does extensive research for each design she creates. Linda and husband Dean have six horses. The
25 year old APHA gelding shown here is Linda's sidesaddle demonstrator and ambassador, a job he excels at with his smooth gaits and kind nature.
