Midcentury Memories: The Anonymous Project
50 years ago, people used film cameras just as we use smartphones today. They photographed their meals, holidays, loved ones, celebrations, and family reunions. Imagining the past lives of these strangers is the beauty and mystery of The Anonymous Project. The places, dates, and people may be unknown, but the stories are universally familiar.

mercantile F.A.Q.s
Carefully curated items for meaningful living.
While art is the anchor to any space, there is so much more to artful living than artwork alone. We believe that if you're going to use something in your daily life, it might as well be something that brings you joy and adds to your meaningful home, rather than takes away. Everything in The Mercantile was chosen to play well together – the labels are minimal, the textures are natural, and the ingredients and materials are ones you can feel good about!
The products in The Mercantile will ship directly from the brand listed on the product purchased. The packaging and shipping updates will reference the item's original brand/vendor as well, and you may receive promotional updates from them. This Collective format cuts down on cost and waste, and ensures you get your item(s) in a timely manor!
No, Mercantile products will not go on sale, and are excluded from any other side-wide promotions, discount codes, offers and rewards. They are available to us through a Collective (think: e-commerce co-op), and the pricing is set by the respective vendors. Thanks for understanding!
We do not accept preference-based returns or exchanges. However, in the unfortunate event that something was damaged in shipping, please contact us and we will be happy to make it right.
We are proud to support women owned and operated businesses! Every product at Anchor Merit is a part of a women owned and operated brand – all with their own unique missions and values. ♡

LL Philosophy ✧・ﾟ
home can heal
Investing in art is investing in you, and you are worth it.
At this point, we've all been through some stuff. Great stuff, hard stuff, in between stuff... And with all the things we have walked through in my own home, I am more convinced than ever that creating a home that inspires and delights you can also help you heal on a deep level. Personally, I think the most impactful way to set the tone for your space is starting with art as the anchor, and then building around it. Because let's be honest, no one ever refers to their couch as "meaningful."
