Country Roads: Always Your Favorite, Never the Same!

We've been so busy at "the store" lately! It continues to amaze me AND make me so grateful for all the great customers we have. One of the best things about Country Roads that I love is it is always changing. Not a day goes by that someone doesn't bring in something new! I had a few minutes to take pictures of some random stuff. And honestly, I only had a "few" minutes!!





There were so many more pictures I wanted to snap, but that word "time" got in my way again! If any of you know the secret to slowing it down, please let me know because I could sure use some extra hours in my days!!

The Art of Lori Hannah Gutierrez

What I love about Country Roads is the "variety" of talent that makes up our Country Roads family. From quality antiques, to awesome vintage displays, to artists, we have a bit of everything. These pictures are of Lori's work. She is in a very small area right now but will be expanding tomorrow to a much larger space. I can't wait to see it! Right now, she has a lot of mermaid paintings on display that are for sale. Since I'm such a beach freak, of course each of these appeals to me! These painted shells on old vintage bottles are over the top! The detail of the mermaids is incredible! Lori's work is very detailed and beautiful and colorful and most of all, original! Another speciality Lori paints are crowns. This isn't the best example of what she does but all that she has right now. One of our customers cleaned her out last week. You can also find some great painted bracelets among other creations of Lori's! This little painted mermaid suitcase found its way home with me a few weeks ago. Fits in perfect in my bedroom that is a bit tropical and beachy! I hope you find the time to stop by next week and see what Lori is up to with her new large area at Country Roads. You know, Country Roads. . . always your favorite, never the same!
