Nectar is coming to Twisted Roots Eureka Springs!

We are so excited to announce a new body care line at Twisted Roots Eureka Springs! Nectar is a culmination of Josh Taylor's 30 years of experience in fine flavors & fragrances, 'from soap bars to chocolate bars', as he is fond of saying. As a teenager, he lived in Grasse, France, and apprenticed with a master perfumer there. Nectar is Josh's ultimate statement crowning his three decades in fine confectionary and perfumery.



Green Leaves (Dandelion, Lemongrass, and Cilantro have been used for
centuries for their energizing botanical properties, and combined
with our blend of natural extracts and fragrance.)



Purple Blossoms (Tuberose, Lilac, and Hyacinth essences to delicately
moisturize, restore and delight the skin.)



Golden Citrus (Verbena, Citron and Kumquat, known to have
healthy antioxidant properties, which combine to rejuvenate your skin.)

Fall Decorating Ideas with Apothecary Jars

Fall is my favorite season for decorating the home.  The kids are back in school, routine has set in after the crazy summer months, and I can finally put the house back together in one piece.  What I love most about decorating in the Fall is the warm, rich, vibrant shades of orange, reds and yellows.  For years apothecary jars have been used to decorate various rooms of the house.  I love how easy they are to change out during the year for a completely different look.  We carry a wide variety of apothecary jars at Twisted Roots Eureka Springs.  Here are just some of the things you can collect in your jars.

Dinner Party Survival Guide

It's 2:00 P.M. and your cellphone rings, it's your husband and he announces that his boss and wife are coming over tonight for dinner.  In a mad panic, your mind scrambles trying to remember where you stashed all the take out and catering menus.  Maybe this has happened to you before, if so let us put your mind at ease.  Twisted Roots has a beautiful line of serving ware that is far from your grandmother's silver, yet sophisticated and elegant enough for any dinner party. 

The Beatriz Ball Collection is a featured line at Twisted Roots Eureka Springs.  Using the same ancient method of casting used by Greeks and Romans to create masterpieces, molten aluminum alloy is poured into individual sand molds, then polished to a deep lustrous finish.  This ancient sand casting art creates a handsome piece, substantial in weight and texture, generating subtle marks that are not flaws, but essential and desirable aspects of the process that add depth and character while attesting to it's handmade, one-of-a-kind appeal.


Of heirloom quality, your piece will not tarnish or lose it's shine.  It can be used with confidence to heat, chill, and safely serve food.  Made of eco-friendly, 100% recycled aluminum.  "In a world of mass production, handmade is the true luxury..."


Whether you are preparing the meal yourself, or serving take out, your dinner guests will have their eyes glued on your beautiful Beatriz Ball serving pieces.  If you chose the latter option, make sure you sprinkle a little flour on your lovely apron before your guests arrive so they will know how hard you worked to prepare the meal.  Problem solved. ;)

Below are the pieces we have in stock, along with their prices.  Each piece comes in it's own protected felt drawstring bag.  Call us during business hours at 479-239-4160, or comment below for details.  We would be happy to ship your items according to zip code.  Find us on Facebook at Twisted Roots Eureka Springs.

Back in Luckenbach, TX...

It all started with a roadtrip to one of our favorite spots, Luckenbach, TX.  We try to get down to the Hill Country at least twice a year to take in all the wineries, music, scenery and good food.  On this occasion, Bren and I found ourselves sitting in the back of the old post office in Luckenbach listening to Jimmy Lee Jones, who was once called, "The best kept secret in Texas" by Willie Nelson.  That he was, we were transported back in time to the Old Wild West as he shared stories and strummed on his guitar strings.


Within about thirty minutes, every care I had in the world went out the window and I was sucked into the carefree surroundings.  Time stands still in Luckenbach and everyone has a story to share.  Bren and I started discussing the future and vision for our new business.  I must say some of the best business ventures occur outside the office! 


We were bouncing ideas off each other and I finally said mid-sentence, "Twisted Roots."  The name reflects how Bren was born and raised in Arkansas and I was born and raised in Texas, together we make "Twisted Roots."  While we were raised in different states, we both share a vision for creating a shopping experience that is far from ordinary.  There is a little more to that story, but will share with some of you later! 

After getting married at Thorncrown Chapel in the Fall of 2008, we knew Eureka Springs would soon become not only our place of business, but our home as well.  We love everything about this community, including the art, food, music and 360 degree breathtaking view of nature.  Very rarely do you come upon a place that captures your soul and leaves you craving more.


With that said, we have renovated a two bedroom home into our livelihood.  There is no other feeling like building your dream from the ground floor.  We hope to see you walk through the doors of Twisted Roots and share our dream that started down a little dirt road in Luckenbach, TX.
