Now, Cheryl had a vision…

Quaint little store. Local goodies. Items not on consignment, but purchased from area artisans and sold to shoppers who are lucky enough to see and buy it first.

Cheryl Keeton, that is. And the store—Eclectic Originals in Waynesville.

Small space, but BIG on variety! Local folks provide the “Voodoo that you do, ” says Bob Hathaway, who showed us around, and Cheryl lovingly displays it and, in doing so, gives us an opportunity to own something truly unique and sometimes one-of-a-kind. Pottery, jewelry, blown glass, textile pieces, paintings, and so much more.

This place just screams LOCAL. And, while you browse, you might get lucky enough to be entertained by Sir Walter Raleigh, resident pooch extraordinaire, who resides with Bob in the Odyssey Scuba and Travel shop that is adjacent.

They are located at 225 Historic Route 66 E, Waynesville, Missouri, 65583. For more information, visit their facebook page!

Worth the trip, folks!
