“What an adorable little boutique in Afton! Imagine a cute little store where someone carefully curated all the cutest things from auctions & estate sales—Pyrex bowls, flour sifters, salt & pepper shakers, framed art, croquet sets, etc. I’m so thrilled with the adorable things I picked up at The Copper Sparrow last week. As pictured: yummy smelling summer melon goat’s milk soap, pink measuring spoons, antique pink strawberry glass salt & pepper shakers, and tin sign in the shape of Iowa. The place is well-appointed & outfitted with the original ceiling, but not overstuffed or junky in any way. A place like this is long overdue in Union County. It’s worth a monthly visit to see what kind of treasures they’ve acquired. I can’t wait to visit again.”
Dollar General opened its 20,000th U.S. store on February 24th in Alice, Texas. It’s a major milestone for the discount chain that started as one small general store back in 1955. Starting with a ribbon cutting ceremony, the grand opening celebration began at 9am. First customers received some freebies - tote bags filled with free product samples and snacks from DG's Clover Valley brand.
