The Mercy Country Story
Mercy Country was the name of the homestead Cindee and Mark built on the site of the old Big Four Community school. The home and land were located in Crosby County, Texas. The place was so special to them, and when they moved away after a decade of living and loving, struggling and surviving, farming and family-raising, a precious part of their hearts stayed behind.
Mercy Country Creations is Cindee's honorary tribute to that time in their life when all six of their children were young, active, and home. She started this shop during that season of busyness but quickly realized that parenting duties would be neglected if she pursued building a business at that time.
So, with only two (that's right, just 2) sales to MCC's credit, Cindee turned her focus back to raising those kiddos. Like Steve Martin's character in the movie Cheaper By The Dozen states so well, "If I screw up raising my kids, nothing I achieve will matter much."
>> Fast forward twelve years. Cindee and Mark moved from Cotton Country to Granbury, Texas, to be closer to those children who had grown to be such marvelous adults with children of their own. After thirty-five years of active parenting, the couple had an empty nest. Mercy Country Creations arose from the ashes.
The learning curve was steep--time and technology wait for no one!
But hopefully by the time you are reading this story, at least some lessons have been learned and many improvements have been made to bring you quality items. Some are humorous, many are faith-forward, all are heartfelt.
Thank you for visiting and following our adventures. If we can ever be of assistance to you, please let us know. We are here to serve you -- it is truly an honor.
Sincerely,
Cindee Appling
