Our first ever field trip presentation was a success!
We got to travel to the beautiful little shop Rustic Mountain Decor in Merchants Walk owned by our very own June and Jim McEldowney. While eating breakfast we got to learn some personal background behind the making of the shop. Then we traveled to the shop where we got to see and hear about the amazing things they have going on there.

Our lovely June has made sure that all the products there start with the local vendors first from handmade soaps to wooden picture frames made by Jim himself. Jim in the back of the shop has his cabinet business where you can select from every style and material available. He has the process down and covered from start to finish.

Thank you, Jim and June, for the presentation and goodies! If you would like to check them out please head down to Merchants Walk right off the square. You can also like and follow them on facebook: /rusticmountaindecor
