Welcome to Lower 48 Trading Company, a nostalgic artisan shop inspired by some of the best spots across America.

After meeting working at the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park the summer of 1993, my husband and I still love a good road trip 30 years later. These travels inspire my original art, photography, and block print designs. I love a good vintage vibe and there is always a bit of nostalgia to each project.

I hope my handmade gifts and travel art prints can bring a bit of these places into your homes as well. All photography and original paintings are by me, Nikki Degn, painting with oils, watercolors, and acrylic mediums. Handmade block print textiles and art prints start with my original drawings, which I carve into linocut blocks. Currently living in sunny Florida.

Thank you for visiting the shop!
