Rivers' Rustic Designs, LLC is a small town boutique located in Ponder, TX. We started in March 2018 at local pop up venues & craft fairs. I wanted more time with our two girls & have a little of what they call time freedom. I left a pediatric nursing career of 16 years to chase a dream of opening a store. With a lot of prayers & blind faith, we opened our storefront June 2019 in the town that we also live in. Community is a BIG focus of RRD & hope that you feel that with your dealings with us either in the store or on social media. It is our hopes that Rivers' Rustic Designs (or RRD for short) provides you with a unique experience for your apparel, accessories, gift or home needs. Nothing makes me happier than to be your go to for a special gift or outfit or a fun stop to show your friends & family your hometown boutique! Thanks to EACH of you who has or continues to be on this journey, pushing me along the way. Can't wait for you to join our tribe!
