So I went back to collections by Marty on December 29th and was thrilled at the selection and How nice everyone treated me. I always try to get here during the Christmas holidays when I'm visiting my relatives in the Pittsburgh area. I love their 50% off sale and I bring an extra suitcase just to fill it with all the things I get at Marty's. In California, country stores are not plentiful. In fact I can't think of where I can find one at all! Hence I look forward to going to Marty's every time I'm in thePittsburgh area. This visit was fantastic. I picked up socks, Christmas decorations, and a beautiful sterling silver ring for my friend who is like my mother. We had a wonderful time looking at all the goodies and I almost wish I brought two empty suitcases! Terrific job by everyone involved! I'll see you again in the spring when I come to stock up on my linens and placemats! read more
