One knot at a time
Hello! Thank you for visiting my little shop. My name is DeAnna and I live in Salt Lake City, Utah with my husband and our energetic Australian Shepherd. Living in such a beautiful place with so much to explore, we are often outdoors, hiking, trail running, camping, and backpacking.
In the spring of 2017, we traveled to Sayulita, Mexico for our honeymoon. While wandering the colorful streets of the town I saw a poster for a macramé class at one of the most adorable shops. I left my husband to surf one afternoon and headed into town to take the class. I immediately loved the simplicity of the art and couldn't wait to head home and keep knotting.
In the beginning of 2018, I fell skiing and badly injured my knee. With all of my usual outdoor activities out of the question, I began to dedicate more time to my macramé hobby and opened up this shop. The shop name comes from a combined love of the desert (the calico cactus) and the mountains (my family has always been into canoeing on mountain lakes).
My dad has been an artist and maker all my life and has been a huge inspiration to me. His beautiful jewelry will be featured in the shop, too!
I love the idea of brightening up new places with my knots, and would love to help you create a custom piece. Please don't hesitate to send me a message with any ideas or questions!
