Halloween Is Creeping Out!


Halloween is slowly creeping its way out at my home! My old stepback cupboard that is filled with the old paper mache jack o'lanterns are making their way out and decorating the house! They aren't the only Halloween stuff that is creeping out and finding a spot to shine. A few other things have joined in!!















I had to include this photo of MY pumpkins again. They are sitting on my front porch, and every time I walk by them I am truly amazed that I grew them from a seed! Amazing what nature produces for us all. If you happen to be looking for some Halloween items of your own, Country Roads is full of them!!

In My Room


I've mentioned a few times that I've been in the mood to scale down my "stuff" lately! Thankfully, I have a place to bring it and actually make a little money in the process. Here are a few pictures of some of the other things I'm wondering if I should scale these down too! 










Last week I brought in all my old quilts except for two to Country Roads to sell. I hung on to two of my favorite quilts though. They were the red signature quilts and I just couldn't part with them. I also have the old screened pie safe they were in for sale at Country Roads now. I had to have something to hold the TV, so I went with an industrial cart that works well. I just need to get my boy Bryce to build me something to hide it! I hope you all have a "happy Thursday" today!!

White Wednesday


Oh where, oh where does the time go? I'm serious. I've been meaning to post, and I think the last day I got around to it was Sunday morning before I left for work! I've been busy around the house lately. I've decided that I just have too much stuff, so I've been taking bits & pieces into Country Roads lately. A little less stuff, and a little bit of extra cash seems to be working for me. For this "White Wednesday" I quickly took some random pictures around my house. You know "that" house! The house with too much stuff!












That's Morgan above and apparently I was in the way of her watching Olivia when I was taking a few of my pictures this afternoon. She wasn't too happy about that either! I hope you stop by and see my friend Kathleen since she is the one that puts together our "White Wednesdays"! She also features a blog each week and I have to tell you, I haven't been disappointed yet. Take care.http;//www.fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com

Sunday Morning Favorites


There is something peaceful and quiet about Sunday mornings. Well, at least at home in my office it is. And we all know that later in the day at Country Roads, the peacefulness of Sunday doesn't always continue! I'm getting ready to leave here in a few minutes to head out to CR. But before I do, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite things I took pictures of yesterday!









Actually, that "Nut Case", meaning the picture above, nothing else (I don't want to get in trouble) sold almost immediately after it arrived at Country Roads. I hope for those of you that live nearby stop in to see us today!

A Little Makeover!


I was off for a couple of days, and when I came back today, Sue Lennon had been in and did a complete makeover! I always LOVE her "look"! It's different and there is something that is really appealing about it. Take a look at the pictures below, and see what I mean.














What I love about Country Roads, even if it is my store, is that my vendors all have their own sense of style and display. We carry such a variety of merchandise that even if you don't think you are into antiques, I promise you will find "something" that is calling your name to take it home! I hope you all find some free time to stop by and see us this week-end. Take care.
