I’m so excited about a new furniture craftsman that we have been working with…. this morning he delivered this killer desk ~ log legs {with the bark on the logs just like I like} and a an old door for the top work space.  AND he also brought a new barnwood coffee table & end table {I took the pics with my phone, sorry for the shaky hands}… He’s so very talented ~ young Christian guy who is working his tail off to live the dream!!! 

 p.s. Shopgirls ~ If you are needing a new source of furniture for your store then shoot me a note and I can get his info to you!!!

I have tried the online store thing before ~ about eight years ago when it was still pretty archaic.  I found it tedious to keep the site up to date, posting, shipping, blah blah blah.  BUT I’m a die hard merchant & always looking for a new way to get out there to new customers and new readers for CCD.com.   Soooo… here we go again into the world of ETSY {I tried it last year but lacked the motivation and man power to keep it going}.  This time I am determined to show off some of the killer vintage inventory we have here in the store and I think folks would love to see {and hopefully buy}.  

 The other big reason I’ve dragged tail getting into online commerce is that I don’t want to take away from anything the CCD sponsors are doing.  The original intent of CCD.com is to showcase the people, businesses, places & things that we love about the Rustic * Western * Vintage Marketplace.  In order to keep the website running I have a list of sponsors who we do our best to promote, and they support us in turn.  I want to do everything I can to make sure they are successful so PLEASE check out the Merchandise LINKS & STORES We Love and shop with the awesome businesses that are listed in the different merchandise sections ~ this is a great way to find the best stores in the country that feature Rustic * Western * Vintage style.

That said, I’m going to take another dive into ETSY and the world of online shopping.  The Cactus Creek STORE primarily carries vintage items and that is what I intend to sell online.  I hope that you’ll enjoy getting a peek into this store I love so much.  Cactus Creek is my joy ~ the store, the website, the people, businesses, the journey & the things we find along the way.  thanks for checking it out… and holler if you need anything!!

Over the last month the Cactus Creek STORE has had a bit of a growth spurt.  Mid October we were presented with an opportunity to move into a different space in downtown Weston, MO ~ after about 2 seconds of consideration we didn’t just jump into it, we took a Gi*Normous LEAP of FAITH and moved everything into a 2000 sq foot space across the street from our old place, and also increased our hours to be
OPEN Tuesday thru Saturday from 10am till 5pm.

Before I get into the nitty gritty details of the new space let me tell you what’s happening this weekend {Nov. 21st & 22nd, 2009}… Every December Weston MO hosts a Christmas Homes Tour with several homes dressed in their best Christmas cheer.  This weekend’s annual tour will include four antebellum homes along with two downtown lofts of the same era {I’m especially excited to see the lofts!!}.  

Father Christmas will also be roaming the streets… it’s not too late to get your pictures with him for Holiday cards!!  Sooo, be sure to visit Weston this weekend to fill your soul with a little Christmas Cheer and of course, swing by the new Cactus Creek STORE.  We’ll be open all day Saturday and we’re excited to show off our new space ~ hope to see you!!!!!

Now that business is taken of I’m excited to share all of the details about the new Cactus Creek STORE.  Let me warn you, this is a long one… As some of you know we opened our first Cactus Creek Store almost ten years ago when we operated out of the barn behind our home, then we moved into a large store in Weston MO.  Before I had boy #2 we closed that space because, frankly, I was totally overwhelmed with such a big store and the idea of also being a mommy to two.  I’ve never once regretted closing that store ~ it was the right thing to do at the time.  I needed a break to spend time with babies {boy #3 came within another year after that}, and I also took some time to help my husb launch his business.  I also had the opportunity to start CactusCreekDaily.com which has helped me to see my own business, and the Western * Rustic * Vintage market in general, in a whole new light.

Last April we opened a new Cactus Creek STORE in a teeny~tiny space here in Weston MO… the idea was to have an office for me to work out of for the website and also to meet with the decorating clients that I’ve continued to work with over the last few years.  We’ve also had several special events featuring artists and trunk shows throughout the summer.  Well, after that new little space was open for about two weeks, I got bit reallllly badly by the ‘merchant bug’.  I quickly realized that I was ready for another real store, even though that was the last thing I was expecting for myself.
