Kesler's Kountry Kreations had the great opportunity to become part of the Monticello community when Tracy Bartels, owner of The Morning Mug, invited them to open their business on the balcony level of her coffee shop back in 2018. Husband and wife team, Chad and Angie Kesler, jumped at the chance. "It was a dream we always had, to open a little business and share our love of vintage, primitive, and handmade decor with others," said Angie.
When The Morning Mug was sold and became The Java Lava Café, current owner Nikkoleen Bongard asked the Keslers if they would like to stay and keep their business on the balcony level, and they again jumped at the chance. "We have loved being in Monticello," remarked Angie. "Meeting all the people, everyone has been so kind, and we really enjoy the "small town" feel."
Their shop has a lot of those "one of a kind" vintage and primitive items that you don't always see every day, yet they include modern day decorating items also. You never know what you may find when you stop into the shop, items are always changing from furniture pieces, to stone wear, to even candles. They are currently decorating the shop for Christmas and have so much to choose from to help decorate the home inside and out! You may also find some gifts for others in between all the gnomes and moose, wine bottle bags, Christmas ornaments, metal Christmas balls, candles, and so many other items.
You can follow their Facebook page "Kesler's Kountry Kreations" for pictures of new items coming into the shop and upcoming specials that will be running for Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. Located on the balcony level of The Java Lava Café, their business hours are the same as the coffee shop: Monday (closed); Tuesday and Thursday, 6:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 6:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.; and now open every other Sunday from 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Make sure to stop by, grab a hot coffee from The Java Lava Café and enjoy some shopping on the balcony level with Kesler's Kountry Kreations!
