Rainy day = Spring Cleaning!

As much as we want warm & sunny days, we occasionally appreciate a bit of rain to keep us indoor and do some much needed housekeeping, and to make it as pleasurable as possible (yes we consider spring cleaning a great pleasure!) here is a list of our favorite cleaning and keeping products. Also check-out here The Laundress tips for Spring Cleaning, and stay tuned for their extended line of products at La Merceria arriving mid May.

Lovell's functional yet beautiful storage solutions

We've finally received the fall line from Lovell Designs, and it was worth the wait! These beautifully screen-printed pieces are so amazingly multifunctional, they made us wonder why we hadn't been using them all along!

Laundry hampers big and small, owner Alison swears by them as the perfect catch all for traveling with her kids - they can pack in their toys, shoes, sweaters and books, and she can just scoop them up and be out the door!

We also received her vine printed pouches, considered the ideal diaper bag in disguise. So many great pieces, stop by La Merceria to get a better look!

Large Hamper (pictured), $85, Pouch/Diaper bag $18-32.
