Another STORE WE LOVE: Surfing Cowboys

Surfing Cowboys is a California store dedicated to all of the things that make the West Coast the epitome of the Wild West… whether you are lassoing waves, riding the board walk, or panning for gold, at Surfing Cowboys your mission is to enjoy the last stop on the journey westward.

With a store in Venice Beach, Surfing Cowboys certainly covers the gamut in selection of new and old, rugged and smooth… I, of course, am enticing you with images of all things Western~ish. But there is also a broad seleciton inspired by the big blue ocean and the carefree life of surfers & skaters.

The trend for GREEN isn’t really new ~ for years “anteekers” have been paving the way for the RECYCLE * REPURPOSE * REUSE mantra…
I especially love Surfing Cowboys’ list of
“5 Great Green things about buying Vintage:”

1. You are producing less waste by saving a perfectly good, handcrafted piece of furniture from the scrap heap.

2. Old wood versus new wood, it is stronger by nature.

3. Lessening the demand for new goods reduces the strain on the environment and our natural resources.

4. Creating jobs for local craftsmen who are expert upholsterers, wood-workers, and refinishers.

5. Keeping that carbon footprint small! We buy locally and do deliveries in our Sprinter van.

Both in our businesses, and in our homes, we should all be so dedicated to our earth as well as our local community.
Thanks for the reminder SCVB!! cheers, fancy
