A Very Sincere "Thank You"!

The votes are all counted and today we found out that our little corner of the world,"Country Roads Antiques & Gardens" won the honor of 1st Place!! And if that wasn't special enough, there were also 79 people that took time to write such wonderful comments about Country Roads and myself. I've printed every comment that was posted because the words that each of you took the time to write means even more to me than winning 1st place. Although it is nice to be a "winnner". I'm also happy to see my friends over at Nice & Easy came in second. Right now, I'm not able to put into words the gratitude I have for all of you. For 17 years you've been here with me and my bestfriend, Country Roads. My sincere "thanks"! This is something I will always remember.

Shamelessly Asking For Your Help!

  Okay, here's the deal and I'm hoping I don't sound like "I"m all that" by writing this because I'm not. One of our local news stations has this thing called "myfoxla's HOTLIST". What they do is someone nominates your business for it, and if you get enough votes they come out and interview you and shoot some footage of your business. We were nominated, and I'm always kind of embarrassed to ask for stuff, but it would be really cool if you guys could vote for us, Country Roads! I'll put posters up in my store, but since the "blog world" is so big, I thought we could pick up some votes here. I DO use the word "we" because Country Roads isn't just about me, it's about all the remarkable and talented people that are a part of our Country Roads family! So, if you think you might be willing to help us out, I AM again asking shamelessly for you to vote for us. I believe, if I did it correctly, click on this link: http://www.myfoxla.com/hotlist (you'll probably have to type it in, me and links don't do well) and it should take you to their website to vote! We're listed under "antiques" and as you will see, we are not winning. I have to say though, that until today, I didn't even know we were a part of this! It will take a few minutes to register and everything so it is all legit. I sincerely appreciate the time any of you go to do this for us at Country Roads! And also if we win, here's another huge perk. . . that cute weather guy, Rick, comes out to the store to do the interview, I "think"! Thanks, and I do mean that!
