New Business in Town – The Antique Store on Main

Has anyone noticed there’s a new business on Main Street? Formerly a part of the Corner Quilt Shop, My Country Treasures has it’s one storefront these days. It’s amazing what a couple of chairs and a basket or two of flowers can do along the Main Drag in small town USA. It gets you noticed. When I drove down Main the first time a few days back, I noticed right away a new store front, next door to the old Corner Pharmacy, looking mighty cozy. Carol Owens, the owner of My Country Treasures takes items on consignment, offers a collection of antiques and treasures, not to mention providing a whole slew of hand made items. Her cinnamon & coffee dolls are some of my favorite decorator items, and I love giving them as gifts. They’re delicious smelling and wonderful additions to any shelf in your home. Carol specializes in hand made, one of a kind jewelry. If you’re interested in making jewelry or consigning your own hand mades, visit with her during store hours. Don’t miss a chance to stop by and visit Carol at My Country Treasures. If you’re lucky, Oris George may be in there signing his latest read more…
