Welcome to the first blog post to kick off my brand new website.
I'm so happy that you are here! I'm excited to use this blog space to share periodic updates, opinion pieces and styling tips. Check back here often as I showcase collections, offer history and education, the occasional recipe and creative DIYs! While that seems like a broad range of topics, I would love to share the creative content that inspires me based on the season or happenings at the shop, etc.
If you are new here, I would like to offer you the warmest welcome! I hope you'll keep in touch and read about what is inspiring me to share. Do you love DIYs with step by step instruction and beautiful photography to accompany them? Perhaps the recipe for a cozy dish you can whip up for the family? How about in-depth discussions about some of my favorite (and largest) collections? Looking for ways to style an area? How to incorporate vintage and antiques into your decor for a uniquely collected look? Curious as to the current happenings here at cotton and rust? Want to see our new home build in Tennessee as we continue to move forward? You are definitely in the right place to expect all that and more.
