CrimsonCactus

Crimson Cactus officially began as a mother / daughter business in 2011, but the seed was planted long before then! My mother, Patti started making ceramic pieces in 1981 in North Carolina as a way to provide a 'second' income and allow her to stay at home with my older brother and I. She started exhibiting pieces in arts and craft shows in the Carolinas. In the late 80's our family moved to El Paso, TX, where we did shows and festivals throughout west Texas and southern New Mexico. Another move in 2003, took us to the Kansas City, Missouri area. In 2005 I became a mother as well, welcoming my son to our family! Mom and I kept our craft business going with mostly ceramic items but in 2006, we added hand-poured soy candles and hand-crocheted necklaces to our product line.

In 2011, we came back to Texas and opened our Etsy shop! We chose the name Crimson Cactus because that is a very unique cactus flower and each of our items are hand-made and one-of-a-kind...just as unique as the Crimson Cactus.

Sadly, in 2014 my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and she passed away in the summer of 2017. With the help of my husband and son I am proud to keep our business going strong and family operated here in the heart of Texas!

Inventory is always changing and I add new products often, so please check back to see what's new!

Thank you for supporting my family business!
