| Boots started her business in a double garage at her home. At first she
taught art classes. As the classes grew she began selling art supplies, paint,
brushes, canvas and frames. |

As more space was needed the business move to a house on Sycamore Dairy
Rd. The house was painted yellow and people called it “The Little Yellow
House”. The business name was “Country Art Gallery”. While there Boots
added decoupage, and craft supplies. |
| The land was then sold for a plaza and the business moved to a strip mall
on Morganton Road in Haymont. In 1973 Bobby joined Boots and incorporated the
business as “Crafts Frames & Things”, and the business then moved to the
Bordeaux Shopping Center, under the tower. |

We started in the corner store. We needed more room and when the
Shoe
Store moved we leased that store and added “Wilton Cake Decorating”. When
Merle Norman moved we added Fabric and Sewing Machines to our expanding lines. |
| As we kept growing and expanding we built our own store at our current
location “108 Owen Drive”. We added Husqvarna Viking Sewing machines to our
expanding line shortly after moving into our new location. We have been in our
current location for over 20 years serving Fayetteville and surrounding
communities. |
