Notus Garage and Mercantile

FRESH FLOWERS

Did you realize this weekend is Mother's DAY????? We have an amazing florist with nearly 50 years experience who thinks she's retired, but we drag her out, dust her off and put her to work on Valentine's & Mother's Day. (I know, it's a weird way to celebrate her as a Mom, but it works.)

Renee is committed to the best quality flowers available, finding deals that allow us to keep our flowers affordable and she's kind of nit-picky about each arrangement she does. She doesn't just line them up and shove them together; she actually takes time with every arrangement to make sure it's just right. When I say you can't get this quality at this price anywhere else, I mean that! Arrangements start at $20. That's a steal in this economy!

Keep reading and you'll find out about our super groovy deals that are available in the store this week.

Kim is trying her hardest to get Fudge made for this weekend. I can't promise that we'll have it, but if she can get her Fibromyalgia to cooperate she's planning on making it.

A Look Ahead

I'm not sure if it's a blessing or a curse that my ADHD brain runs on caffeine and chaos, but the ideas are never in short supply! I (Kim) am currently working on a new candle line (hint: kitchen). I'm also working on a super fun kids line of bath items, as well as fizzing bath soak in a variety of scents.

We are working on getting an E-Bay store up and running, as we've had nothing but problems with USPS and their shipping on our website. That's a whole other story though! It's a little scary, overwhelming and frustrating, but we're making a lot of progress. On a related note, if you are ever trying to order through our website and it's giving you problems, don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. The quickest way is email: kimkulture@outlook.com

Who are we?

Kim is the "mix master" behind all of our Kandles & Wax Melts, the brain and designer of Butterfly Kisses Lotion, creator of ultra moisturizing Bath & Body Products, the mad scientist behind our Men's line, primary purchasing for all the new merchandise, the web master and about a million other things all at once.

Renee has shifted her focus to Spring with her amazing decor and she's been hard at work cranking out more Kitchen Scrubbies & Trivets! Did you know she has well over 50 years experience in floral, balloons, decor and every other creative endeavor you can imagine?

Randy is the man behind our amazing and popular Car Freshies, the room sprays, air fresheners and the collectibles. He's procured some awesome garage memorabilia including from when his parents operated the garage. His various beer, Pepsi, Coke classics and selection of collectibles are unique and desirable.

Vance is a man of many ideas and he loves to see those come to life. His disabilities & Cancer greatly limit what he can physically do, but on those "good days", you'll find him puttering around the shop or see him waving to passing cars on the highway. Sometimes he's out there with a sign and wild clothing to get your attention. If you see him, wave back & honk to show support of local businesses in Notus, Idaho.

Video Tour and History

What is The Notus Garage?

The Historic Notus Garage has been in Kim's family since her grandparents bought it in 1938. Originally a Wescott Oil Station, it would convert to a Conoco Station in the 40's. Kim's Grandpa, Lewis, was the only full-time, full-service mechanic in Notus (there were 7 Gas Stations at one point) & her Grandma, Helen, pumped gas and established what we'd call a "convenience store" today. Lewis passed in 1964, but you'll still find some of his treasures and keepsakes in the shop. Helen would continue to pump gas into the late 1970's/early 1980's (until gas was over $1 a gallon - the pumps didn't go above a dollar) to her loyal and much-loved customers. Over the years it has never been without a family run business of some kind in it, whether that be a retail store, a warehouse, production or a wholesale business. Kim is the third generation of Taylor's (with help from the 4th generation) to operate a business out of the Garage.

The Notus Garage is our primary brick and mortar location. We have joined cooperatively to help grow Notus' non-traditional businesses. This closed agreement will help to ensure quality products, including holiday decor, art, floral, balloons, and collectibles not limited to antiques.

Just to put this out there, (it's a question we get several times a week) we do NOT take in other consignment items.
