We’ve Grown! Welcome to AJD Mercantile

We’ve Grown! Welcome to AJD Mercantile

If you’ve been with us since the beginning, you know that Amy John Designs started as a small, family-run passion project—handcrafting wood décor, personalized gifts, and greeting cards during our downtime. What began in our workshop quickly grew into something bigger than we ever imagined.

As our creativity expanded, so did our offerings. With John’s woodworking talent, Amy’s eye for design, and a shared love for creating meaningful, quality products, we realized we weren’t just a design shop anymore—we were building a mercantile of handcrafted goods, flavorful finds, and homegrown charm.

That’s why we’re excited to officially introduce our new name:
🎉 AJD Mercantile 🎉

It’s more than a rebrand—it’s a reflection of who we are today and where we’re headed.

What’s New?

  • A fresh look and name that captures all we offer.

  • The launch of our Sass & Spice collection—small batch, handcrafted seasonings made right here in Missouri.

  • Continued passion for woodworking, custom décor, greeting cards, and more.

What’s Staying the Same?

  • We’re still the same family-owned business—Amy, John, and our crew of boys cheering us on.

  • Every item is still handcrafted with care, whether it’s a spice blend, a wooden wall sconce, or a witty greeting card.

  • Our commitment to quality, creativity, and that little touch of sass remains at the heart of everything we do.

Why AJD Mercantile?

We wanted a name that grows with us. A place where you can find unique home décor, thoughtful gifts, and now—flavorful additions to your kitchen. Think of AJD Mercantile as your go-to shop for all things handcrafted, curated, and made with intention.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey
