Hey! Look at this! Look at this! Look at this!

That’s the reaction we’re aiming for with every single item we sell. From quirky keepsakes to charming treasures, every item is hand-picked to make someone pause, smile, and say, “Hey! Look at this!” Because we believe the best things in life are the ones that surprise, delight, and spark a little joy.

So What's In Store For me at Creekside Trading?

(See what we did there?)

You never know what you’ll find when you walk through our doors. (And we wouldn’t have it any other way!) You’ll find artwork from local artists, artisanal products, jewelry, clothing, toys, gifts, and more. From adorable to zany, we are always adding new stuff that catches our eye.

Our inventory changes all the time. It just changed. Changed again.  More cool new stuff! Hey! Look at that!! Why are you still reading this? Come in and see the selection for yourself!

It wouldn’t be possible for us to include everything we have in our store. We’d never have time for anything else! But here are some things you can reasonably expect to find…

Gray unisex t-shirt displayed on a mannequin, featuring a cheeky cartoon-style donkey with a mildly exasperated expression. Above the donkey, bold black text reads “I IDENTIFY AS A SMART,” with “SMART” emphasized in capital letters. Beneath the illustration, smaller text reads “COLUMBIA, TN.” The design plays on the phrase “smart ass,” using the donkey as a visual pun. The shirt combines dry humor with casual style, ideal for those who enjoy witty self-expression and regional pride.

A 2x2 grid of four square wall signs, each with a distinct background color and playful typography. - Top left: A tribute to friendship with the quote “I get by with a little help from my friends – The Beatles.” - Top right: A bold, quirky message encouraging authenticity: “Let your weirdo light shine bright so other weirdos can find you.” - Bottom left: A warm, optimistic phrase: “Here comes the sun.” - Bottom right: A cheeky, irreverent text about impulsive messaging: “Sometimes I read a text and think, what a fucking psychopath. Then I press send.” The overall display radiates humor, warmth, and unapologetic self-expression.

Local Artist Spotlight

Because ‘Earth without art is eh.’

-Dmitri Martin

We could line our walls with mass-produced ‘art’… but where’s the soul in that? Instead, we spotlight local artists who are wildly talented, occasionally strange, and definitely cooler than we are.

Their work brings serious flair to our store—and gives you the chance to own something unique. Impress your friends. Pretend you discovered them. We won’t tell.
