Really wanted to "love" this little shop as I am all about keeping it local. First of all, it's very beautiful inside and well done. Upon walking in we were hovered over by an employee...I felt like they thought we were going to steal something! I chose 2 small items and was looking further . The employee that was "stalking" us asked to keep our items behind the counter for us....uhh ok whatever. My husband chose 2 reusable cloth sponges. When I went to pay and asked for my other items they didn't even know what they were at first. When I replied no thank you to the offer of receiving their emails only because I just get sooo many, the woman scoffed at me. And finally, and shame on me for buying them...the sponges had no price on them and when I checked my receipt they were $25!! Labeled Audrey's, I checked them online...although they were out of stock, they are $10!! Oh and made in India not USA. Again, I always support local but would never return to a local shop that scams their local customers...$15...maybe even $18 but $25??! Shame on me and shame,...

Then I found the Rustic Barn and was overjoyed to see a small shop with so many lovely things - from small items to large decor pieces - it met every single need!
Meeting Lisa, Boss, Mom and the rest of the Rustic Barn team has been a gift. They are helpful, patient, kind, energetic, and TALENTED. The will assist you with styling the smallest space in your home or a large room with the same passion and creativity. I look forward to every trip into the store and I am in awe of the beautiful items Steve has made which now call my house, home.
Thank you to the Rustic Barn for being a gem...
