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,

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,

I was walking around the store this morning taking some new pictures to post when Robin, one of our consignors, came in with a load of goodies. We're always excited to see her stop in because that means she and her husband have been busy crafting . She brought us another of her awesome lap quilts (we were sold out again) some welcome pineapples, prim firecracker bowl fillers, candle huggers, some prim sheep (they each have their own personality), cooling racks and this adorable Uncle Sam. Whew! I think I got it all, if not I apologize Robin. You really outdid yourself this time. Each time you stop by something always manages to follow me home, this time I think it might just be Sam.
Oh, I almost forgot, the treenware. We have had these bowls on order since mid January. Linda and Melissa didn't get to make the trip to the Atlanta buyers mart because of all the snow so got out all the catalogs and these bowls were the last of the January orders to come in but well worth the wait. They have the look of old dough bowls but not the hefty price tag that sometimes comes attached.
Well I think that's about it for today. I think I'll save the pictures I took earlier this morning for another day. Linda and Melissa are off early tomorrow morning for the Liberty antique show. I've already given Linda my wish list, personal and for the store. So Karen and I will be holding down the fort for the day and anxiously waiting for the goodies I know they will find there.
Till next time,

I had planned to post these pictures on Saturday but we were so busy and the day flew by. A wonderful lady Sherrie (Ms. Tallow Berries) from SC stopped in. We call her Ms. Tallow Berries because for the longest time we didn't know her name. LOL!! We always enjoy her visits and I really enjoyed talking X-stitch with her.
We recently got the Pepsi tin in as well as the small reproduction tins, I think they mix well with the vintage tins on the bottom. Hmmm, maybe I'll start collecting tins: ) I'm also working on a new Americana display that I'll be posting pics of later this week. We already have an Americana display but we got a few new things in so I decided to do another one.
I hope everyone is doing well this Wednesday afternoon. We've been busy here at the store even though it's been raining most of the day here in Fayetteville.
I've also been busy at home stitching, painting mache boxes and painting a doll cradle for my dogs. Yes, that's right, I did say doll cradle for my dogs. Come on I can't be the only one. Baby hasn't warmed up to it yet but Harley immediately crawled in and hid under the teastained pillow sham I put in there for them. Oh well, what can I say? Maybe they're a tad bit spoiled. So hopefully I'll have those pics uploaded to my blog this evening or tomorrow.
Till next time,

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.
