Making changes

We've been very busy here at the store. It always seems that once you to decide to rearrange one display the others don't look quite so good and need to be redone also. Which is good because things seem fresh and new when changed around.I love this shelf. We had it here in the store for quite a while leaning against a wall and no seemed interested. Late one night I got the idea to hang it and keep it as a display piece. Well, it's a lot heavier than it seems so after several L brackets and three people to hang it, it was finally up on the wall. And as luck would have it, so many people have wanted to buy it.We have had three of these hutches in the store on consignment. I like this hutch because you can use it no matter what your decorating tastes are.
This Geranium arrangement that Melissa made is a favorite of mine. I went a little crazy with the Geranium bushes that Karen over at my colonial home found on sale at JoAnn's fabric store. I can never pass up a good sale.I love these "Love Much, Laugh Often" hearts that a new consignor recently brought in. She also has several other prim pieces that I will be posting pics of later. We were excited when she contacted us about bringing things in. We like to buy locally whenever possible.
That's all for today folks, thank you so much for stopping by.

Hello everyone! I sure have been away for a long time both here and on my personal blog. There's been a bit going on here at CCTT.
Linda has been out for a little while, this NC heat/humidity has hit her asthma hard. So Melissa, Karen and I are trying our best to hold down the fort but even the three of us together can't fill her shoes. She started this business over twenty years ago so when she's not here it isn't quite the same. So please keep her in your thought and prayers.

On a happier note, on Saturday I had the pleasure to meet a fellow blogger Old Glory Soldiers . She and her family recently moved here and will be calling Fayetteville home for a while. And on Monday our first customer through the door was Sue from Rabbit Hollow Prims.
What a small world, she lives in Hope Mills which is quite close to me. What wonderful ladies! I had very nice chats with both{I apologize if I talked your ears off} it's always exciting to meet fellow bloggers.
I attempted to post a few pictures but for some reason blogger won't let me. No matter how many times I try it just simply refuses. I'll try posting them from home, maybe I'll have better luck.
Whew, are you exhausted after that one?
Till next time,

Happy Thursday blog friends!!

Melissa has been busy today creating prim arrangements so I thought I'd share those with you.
My favorite is this one in the old tin. It sold before I could get this picture posted but I still wanted to share it with you. She has already made a couple more so I'll post those another time.
I love this small quilt square and the star hanger.
Linda picked up five of these small cups while out antiquing last Friday. Not sure yet where I'll put them but I think I need a couple of these.
And this is a picture of a combination of two things on my ever growing favorites list, old wood bowls and rag/yarn balls. So many display possibilities.
Till next time,

Just a quick post

Just a quick post today to say I hope everyone is having a great week. It has been a bit hot and muggy here in Fayetteville.
We had a special treat here at Country Comes to Town last Saturday. Linda from Behind My Red Door was visiting her good friend Jill in SC and they decided to drive to Fayetteville. I really enjoyed their visit and what a small world to find that Linda has shopped in our store in the past. I look forward to getting together with them as well as other prim friends in November.
Till next time,
