Mosswood Mercantile added a little holiday warmth this week. A vintage teddy cookie jar, a tiny original painting we found at a flea market in Rome, and a handful of old world brass, glass, and handcrafted ornaments are now tucked into the shelves. It all feels extra cozy in our corner of Main Street Vintage here in Uptown Vancouver WA. Come wander and see what you fall in love with.

Our newest surprise drop is here. Say hello to Blind Date with a Recipe Box.

Each mystery pack holds a vintage community cookbook filled with recipes, stories, and quirks from kitchens all over the country. These books were created by churches, clubs, neighborhoods, and volunteer groups, which means they’re packed with personality and real lived history. You never know if you’re getting a treasured pie recipe, a suspicious casserole, or someone’s grandma’s holiday favorite, and that is half the fun.

Every recipe box is wrapped, tagged with a few clues, and ready to gift to yourself or another curious cook.

And yes, Blind Date with a Book is still going strong too. We restocked both displays this week if you’re in the mood for a little mystery reading along with your mystery cooking.
