Welcome to Middleton Mercantile

 

My name is Samantha Middleton and along with my brother, Coby Middleton,  we thank you for stopping by our little project and wandering around a bit.  

​

Our story:  We were born and raised in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, next to the McKenzie River in Springfield, Oregon - part of the breathtakingly beautiful Willamette Valley.  Raised by amazing parents on a little farm about fifteen minutes outside of town, we had a wonderful childhood.  Cows. Chickens. Puppies. Goats. Pigs. Horses.  Our own creek with a waterfall.   A beautiful summer garden.  A firepit for roasting marshmallows.  A short walk down a gravel road is where our grandparents lived and behind them, through the filbert orchard, my great grandparents lived in a glorious turn-of-the-century farmhouse.  We are a coupla country kids.  We knew all about chores, haying, pick-up trucks, fishing and hunting, canning, manuer and dirt.....  It was a much simpler time.  We lived a life that cherished family,  faith and a hard days' work.   And we still do.  All those amazing country life memories are alive and well.  And although we now find sunny Central Florida our home, we aspire to balance the past with the present, to encourage feelings of authenticity, creativity and warmth that can only be created by embracing  our heritage, finding use in things previously used and loved, giving new purpose to the unexpected and inspiring those around us to create their own unique personal style that tells their story.
