About
- Welcome to
Sassafras Creek Originals, a unique shop in Colonial Ste. Genevieve,
Mo. that offers early American home decor and gifts. Step back in time
to the early days of a French Colonial town as you browse our shop. We
have many items that are hand crafted in America in the primitive and
colonial style. Something unique for everyone!
- I started Sassafras Creek in 1994 after seeing an old
gameboard in an antique store. It was too expensive so I decided to see
if I could make one for myself. It turned out so well I started taking
them to shows and my work has been featured in several magazines
including Early American Life, House & Garden, Town & Country
and St.Louis Homes. I have been chosen twice for Early American Life's
Annual Directory of Top 200 American Craftsmen in 2005 and 2007 and was
recently featured again in their magazine for the Christmas 2010 issue.
All items are hand-made by me using decorative motifs from the Colonial
period through the Civil War. Most of my artwork has a Pennsylvania
Dutch look attributing to my German heritage. All of the gameboards
come with playing pieces in a little muslin drawstring bag which looks
like old seed bags or tobacco bags. If you have any questions regarding
orders or customization please e-mail me or give me a call at
