Rustic Store was founded in 2002 by Jim Howard. Jim is an avid rustic furniture artist. He's always strived for a place Artists like himself could showcase their unique and creative works. He built a large 5000 square foot building in Maine called Rustic Store. His plan was to feature many of this country's artists in that place called Rustic Store. That's when the church came along and bought the building. Once again Jim was left with no place to work out of. Fortunately "Rustic Store" is alive and well online.
