Curiosity Shoppe
I first became familiar with Derek & Lauren, proprietors of the Curiosity Shoppe, through their weekly DIY projects at Design Sponge ~ after spending some time on their website I knew that their clever assortment would be fun to share here at CactusCreekDaily…
In addition to being an engaging online store, Curiosity Shoppe is also a brick & mortar place where all things creative are revered!! While not intentionally geared toward Rustic * Western * Vintage merchandise, the Curiosity Shoppe offers up their fair share of the merchandise we LOVE…
First up, the Carved Wood Deer Head {ABOVE}… An essential element when decorating a lodge room, the typical deer mount can be a little creepy for some people. This Carved Wood Deer Head offers up a woodsy feel without bringing a macabre feeling to your space.
For those of you who love camping {or have friends that love camping & need gifts!!} here are a couple of treasures that are sure to add a campfire spirit to your next dinner… As Derek & Lauren suggest, the Campfire Plates {ABOVE}are perfect for serving up s’mores ~ yum!!
And the Campfire Tealight {BELOW} adds light-hearted rusticity to your dining table… imagine a dozen of these along a long picnic table with the crickets chirping around you. Ahh, summer.
The stationary you use for hand-written notes makes a huge statement about your style and attitude. Thanks to the Curiosity Shoppe’s Office collection, your choices for clever stationary just got bigger. You’ve seen the American Dreamland Series {ABOVE} when we looked at cowboy thank you cards. It is hand pressed stationary and the perfect combination of VINTAGE YEE-HAW.
I’m also lovin’ the Farm Animal Series {BELOW} which would work for the whole family {I bet there are a lot of little girls who would love the horse card!!}.
The final item to go into my shopping basket at the Curiosity Shoppe is this Good Luck Horseshoe {BELOW}. Perfect for congratulations, going away, or just a token of encouragement, we should all have a dozen on hand for quick gifts ~ especially at only $8 a piece!!
Be sure to take some time on the Curiosity Shoppe website… in addition to providing beautiful, hand-crafted items, this innovative team aims to “inspire you to embark on a creative adventure of your own”. To spur you along they offer a Craft Room where they feature arts and crafts kits. Derek & Lauren also have a great blog, Smarts & Crafts, where they share bits & pieces, as well as offer a weekly photo theme where you can contribute photos… it is a fun way to be a part of the creative spirit that embodies this duo.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Derek & Lauren for letting me share their fabulous Shoppe!!
