Welcome to Arwen's Mercantile!
Here is a connection to a little slice of Happiness for You.
My goal is to capture heartwarming moments through photography, and offer locally made, feel good treasures that make the heart sing.  
Being a musician and lover of art myself, I am thrilled to support the arts by carrying independent Music recordings ... both vinyl and CD, and independent Art.
