Looking into the future…

Published on by byjoellaLeave a comment

Rustic Country Market is going to change in the future.

What kind of change?

We are planning to expand our registered trade name, Rustic Country Market, into a home based business. I registered and created this website in 2015, and have an organic following on FB based on the name Rustic Country Market Living.

I’ve organized and supported others’ businesses most of my life, and now I’m going to focus that experience on Rustic Country Market. Our long term goal is to start/organize a local marketplace to sell rustic country items. In the meantime, we are going to participate in newly formed, local farmer market.

Adapting…

For some, there’s a fear of success, because success can raise the performance bar.

(Dilbert was cancelled in 2023.)

We “retired” and relocated the end of 2020, in the midst of global chaos; and took on a fixer upper in the rural White Mountains of AZ. As our home projects slow down, we are looking forward to doing what we enjoy, instead of what we have to do. We had hoped to travel in retirement, but with the economy going as it is, we’re limiting our love for travel to our local area.

It’s not the strongest of the species which survives, nor the most intelligent which survives. It is the one which is the most adaptable to change.

Believe…

We believe if you attach a feeling to a belief, you will make a way for change. We love God and we love USA country living. We love small towns. We love our garden, greenhouse, canning, home cooked meals, chickens, BBQ hut, wood fired oven and pizza. We love the smell and taste of fresh roasted coffee. We love our hot tub where we can sit under a vast starlit sky (because we live where there’s no light pollution). We love making things. We love crafting. We love going to garage sales and estate sales. We love repurposing things, instead of throwing them away. We love old and new rustic stuff.

We believe our name, Rustic Country Market, fits our country lifestyle.

Humble beginnings…

We’ve been busy planning our local, Arizona, home based business future that includes:

  • Rustic Country Decor
  • Small Batch Roasted Coffee Beans
  • Coffee Mugs & Signs
  • Nest Run Eggs
  • Various Dried Hot Pepper Spices
  • Dried Russian Sage Bunches

There’s a lot of details to attend to when starting a business.

Time has been flying. It’s funny how day to day, nothing appears to change, yet if we look back, EVERYTHING looks different.

I’ll be sharing our new journey, as things progress, on RusticCountryMarket.com, because I love to journal, write, and create.

We aren’t just a market, we are Rustic Country Market Living.

I signed up as an affiliate marketer with Signature Homestyles so I could share some of their products that reflect my kind of Relentless Redecorating.

Never Underestimate the Power of a Pillow Cover

Changing pillow covers is a fast, affordable way to update decor without replacing furniture. Whether you’re adding a seasonal flair to a room, or updating your current decor theme. You can put a new pillow cover over an existing pillow (as long as it doesn’t show thru) without purchasing a new pillow insert.

I have a variety of coffee “decor” in my kitchen & dining room.

I Love Baskets (always have, always will)

Basket: noun, 1. a container made of twigs, rushes, thin strips of wood, or other flexible material woven together.

Wicker, wood, fabric, seagrass, rope, rattan, wire, metal, glass, twigs, leather… as long as it stores stuff and blends in with my decor, I love it! I also love decorative boxes and trays.

Instead of leaving a bunch of stuff randomly laying around creating clutter, I use baskets. I put books, videos, and CDs in baskets (on a shelf). I put small things like remotes, chargers w/cords, and dog toys in baskets. Even my arts and crafts supplies are stored neatly in baskets.

Baskets are great for organizing miscellaneous stuff.

What does Affiliate Marketing mean?

It means I get a small commission if you buy using my link or code at the checkout. This helps me pay for my website.

We aren’t just a market, we are Rustic Country Market Living.

I Love East Coast Antiques & Crafts…

Published on by byjoellaLeave a comment

I absolutely love to visit historical places on the east coast. I love the antiques. I love the crafts. I love old brick, old rock walls, old glass, and old wood. I love getting inspired by different colors and textures. I leave these places with a desire to create things! Here’s a few inspirational photos I took during some of my past visits to the east coast. Maybe they will inspire you too!
