Once upon a time James Robertson started a small business, building hand crafted home furnishings and accessories for friends and family. He began with arts and craft shows and quickly graduated to a retail establishment called Robertson’s Collectables, which soon grew into a business he named DESERT MOON.

       That business grew and became well established in the central Texas area for many years. Through good times and bad, year in and year out, beautiful furniture resulted from his dedication to building the best quality furniture he could make. Fire wiped out the wood shop in 2000, then recession wiped out profitability, and the DESERT MOON set for the final time, when the retail store closed in the summer of 2001.

       However, he never stopped building furniture, and continued to wholesale his designs to old friends in other Texas towns. When another fire destroyed the newly rebuilt wood shop in 2002, he relocated his operation to the little town of Martindale, Texas. James has begun again, and is building that same quality, handcrafted furniture, in his new location, including an outlet store, on Highway 80, just five miles east of San Marcos, in a beautiful, historic little town, on the edge of the San Marcos River.
