	Merlin's Keep Merlin's Keep was started in 2002 as a mobile Celtic gift shop by owners, Robert & Sherri Spence as a result of their love of festivals and fairies. Their storefront opened in 2004 and is located at 1266 Trailwood Dr., Hurst, TX. 76053. Their wares consist of everything Celtic including knotwork, paintings, prints, jewelry, photography, sculpture, knives, swords, fairies, etc. Robert still travels by himself to various festivals in OK. and TX., but has gotten tired of going solo, so starting in 2006, the kids will mind the store while Robert and Sherri travel to more festivals together.
