I’m Keri,
a homemaker and cottage-keeper tending a little patch of holy ground along Mills Creek.

I live in a 1920 farmhouse at the edge of the Appalachian foothills, where the days are shaped by simple rhythms—morning coffee by the window, crochet in my lap, & the simple sounds of home & countryside living.

I’ve always been drawn to quiet beauty… the kind made by hand, found in the land, or whispered by the Spirit in the early hours of the day. I’m a collector of moments, a keeper of old stories, and a woman who believes the home is one of God’s gentlest sanctuaries.

This mercantile grew from that belief.

Every heirloom piece I create—whether stitched, crocheted, gathered, or printed—is made slowly and prayerfully, with the hope that it blesses another home the way this land has blessed mine. I love crafting things meant to be held, saved, celebrated, or passed down… the small tokens that anchor us to the seasons and stories God is writing in our lives.

Mills Creek Cottage & Co. is my offering back to Him:
a place where the work of my hands can make room for peace, celebration, and belonging in the homes of others.

I’m grateful you’re here.
May something in this little corner of the world speak softly to your spirit.
