About Us

Thislle Creek Reserve is located in Selmer, Tennessee. The tractor you see in our header photo is the very tractor that our founder and his father used to gather firewood as a child. The tractor almost always got stuck in the creek on the return trip loaded with firewood. "Dad" would reply with- "this would be a great place for a pond as it always wet!" For a 7 year old boy the idea was founded.

Today, our founder has his home on lake's edge and the tractor was placed back in the creek as a reminder of where it all started.

Our founder, Jim Fredrickson has served clients in sales for the last 30 years. Today he enjoys contract decorating for promotional companies around the country on the property that started it all...at Thistle Creek Reserve.

Decorating services include UV Printed Patches, Leather Patches, and Embroidered Patches for hats, beanies, and shirts. Thistle Creek Reserve also makes Eyewear Straps and Key Rings using 100% American made items.

We offer custom woodworking using live edge for projects. We also provide plaques using live edge.

At Thistle Creek Reserve we take pride in Sourcing, Engraving, and Decorating in America. For example, we spend more on our metal key rings because by doing so- we provide Americans with a jobs.
