‘RUSTY’Brandi and Ronnie Edelman enjoy transforming antique items into something new. They are the creators behind The Rusty Dog Crafts and Collectibles.

KRISTA WASINGER

A beloved chocolate Labrador Retriever running down Main Street in Sabetha is what first brought Brandi and Ronnie Edelman together. Thus, it only seemed fitting that “Rusty” fit into the name of their business — The Rusty Dog Crafts and Collectibles. “Rusty is the reason my husband and I had our first date,” Brandi said. “I caught Rusty as he was running down Main Street and tracked down his owner — Ronnie Edelman.” Rusty is a great dog that makes her smile and is truly her best friend, Brandi said. The name Rusty fits their business perfectly as the Edelmans buy “rusty” antique items and create new decor from those items. “So, when Ronnie and I were trying to come up with a name, we laughed because we both love RUSTY things, including our RUSTY dog, so that is how it came to be!” she said. MAKING OLD NEW Over the last eight years, Brandi and Ronnie found they both loved antiques and made a hobby of going to flea markets. It has become a great way to spend time with one another, look at old things and dream of ways to repurpose them. The Edelmans enjoy buying and selling antiques and meeting all kinds of different people. For the past three years, Brandi and Ronnie have been taking old items they find at flea markets and repurposing them into new decor items. “Ronnie and I love to make things!” Brandi said on her Facebook page. “I have the vision and he has the talent to make it come true! We love going to flea markets, antique malls and auctions where we find treasures!” “At the flea markets, people are more interested in buy-  ing the antiques, and not so much the craft items,” he said.
