Meet The Team
Leslie, Owner
I have always had a deep appreciation for different styles of clothing, décor, and home furnishings. One of the things that makes me the happiest is sharing the things I love with other people and seeing the joy it brings them. I’m fortunate to have a daughter who shares the same feelings I have. We’ve been able to travel all across the U.S. the last couple of years and see (and buy) many different types of décor, styles of clothing and jewelry, and just all kinds of beautiful landscape that really inspired us to pursue our dream of owning a store together. We hope you will all enjoy and love Bluestem Mercantile as much as we do!
Michaela, Owner
Bluestem started out as a wild hair dream while I was in college and seven years later it has brought so much joy and fun into my life. My family and life has grown tremendously since then. I now have three boys Ladd, Loyal, and Landon and my sweet husband Luke, who I love getting to share this dream with. Through Bluestem they have been able to see what entrepreneurship and grit can get you. I love getting to connect and curate items for my sweet customers. Bluestem is so much more than the brand with humble beginnings, is a hard-earned lifestyle I get the privilege to live out daily. Thank you for following along and supporting my little family.
Heather, Creative Marketing Manager
I am so thankful that Michaela and Leslie invited me to share in their Bluestem adventure. Their love of family is readily evident in the environment they’ve created at Bluestem, and I feel blessed to be a part of it. Photography, vintage home decor, and fashion/style are all things that I love, especially with a Western touch! Getting to do all of these pursuits that I enjoy in addition to working alongside these two incredible ladies makes me grateful I walked into "that little mercantile off the highway" a few years ago. When I'm not working, my husband and I stay busy traveling with our son for his competitive hockey team. We've made lots of fun family memories going down the road. Who knew hockey would become such a big part of my life?!
