Introducing the Curated Collection by Dixie Belle Paint Company.

These five shades are absolutely stunning! All in stock now at Eclectic Originals.

The forecast calls for rain so it's a perfect time to grab some ice cream from Sweet Sam's on Route 66, then the perfect hues and shades from Eclectic and finish those projects.

Odyssey Scuba has been located at 225/227 Historic Route 66 since January of 2005. We opened in the same building in 2015 and have been asking the powers that be for a walk signal at the light ever since. Praise the Lord it's happening today.

The telegram
that started it all!

On April 30th, 1926 this telegram was sent from Springfield, MO to Washington DC regarding what to name the new highway going from Chicago to LA and this is why Springfield is considered to be the birthplace of Route 66.

There is a huge kickoff for the 100th anniversary of Route 66 in Springfield but we want to get in on the fun too.

Stop into Eclectic Originals at 225 Historic Route 66 E in Waynesville or Sweet Sam's on Route 66 starting tomorrow through May 9th and receive an entry for a gift basket filled with 66 items. Not just Route 66 items but a grand total of 66 items. Make a purchase for additional entries and we will also have some crazy sales for the next couple of weeks with some items 66% off.

We are also working on a fun interactive photo op that will be on Sweet Sam's patio so stay tuned for that.

A visit to Old Stagecoach Stop Museum and Foundation is a perfect way to spend a cooler cloudy day. They open for the season today at ten and admission is free.

Eclectic is open until 4:00 today too.

The Old Stagecoach Stop
will open for the season this Saturday. Even though that is our official opening, we hosted a group of 35 visitors from the St.Louis area. We enjoyed having them and they seemed to enjoy their visit. If you’re looking for a way to learn some local history, come see us at the OSS. We will be open every Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM- Apri thru October. Admission is free.

I have been a Dixie Belle retailer since 2018 and I am absolutely devastated by this news. Suzanne was such an amazing person and a joy to have met. So if you come to Eclectic today and see a tear in my eye this is why.

Here's to a beautiful woman and a life well lived! Suzanne you will be greatly missed. Prayers for your family and friends in the days ahead as they navigate life and business without you.

I guess there is a day for everything and today is National Sourdough Bread Day.

We just got these sourdough making accessories from Sticks & Stones. Locally made using Missouri sourced Bodark and Oak.
