ABOUT US

Just as life is a journey, Native and Nature has gone through it's own evolution.  In 1991 we opened in the old Volant schoolhouse as Options. In the process of finding our "niche" we later changed our name to Southwest Options, and finally Native and Nature.  I think the name finally reflects not only our product line, but also our message -  we are all interconnected.  I am a firm believer in "The Golden Rule", so I hope you feel you are a valued guest when you visit the shop. 

The Native theme may make you pause and think-just for a moment, about our own country's treatment of it's indigenous peoples.   Other items have been selected to bring a smile to your face, for without humor life would be unbearably  dull!  The  music is intended to relax you, to slow you down enough to enjoy the things that have been selected for the shop- the materials, the textures, the details, the colors. 

While I do the selection,  Lois's  touch is evident in the ever evolving displays. I'd be lost without her! My husband, Frank, occasionally makes a guest appearance behind the counter, but is an important part of the behind the scenes support.

So,  while we sincerely hope you find  some items that appeal to you enough to buy them, we also hope your visit to Native and Nature is an experience you'll enjoy.

Hope you'll visit us soon,

Sincerely,

Karen,Frank, and Lois.
