Meet Edie, the smile behind The Country Corner Gift Shop

Updated: Mar 19, 2023


When I was a little girl I had 3 dreams; to be a florist, photographer and to work in a gift shop filled with cards and balloons. Little did I know, that by the age 26, I would have fulfilled each of these dreams, including becoming a wife and mother.

Precision Towing, located on the corner of Delaney and 3rd street, operated as a family run business and successfully served Turner and the surrounding areas. After 30 years of business we decided it was time to retire and I was able to pursue another passion that I had been dreaming of, Upscale Junk.

In January of 2020, we transitioned the building into a small junk shop that my best friend Jill and I started together. Upscale junk focused on recreating and upscaling old items into something creative and beautiful. It was such a blessing to our community, but after 3 years and many prayers, Upscale Junk closed its doors and The Country Corner was born. “



Some fun facts about me:


I love a good adventure, just don’t put me on a plane! I am always up for kayaking and even white water rafting. My greatest adventure is being MooMaw to my sweet granddaughter Reagan Grace.”


I was born a city girl, married the boy next door and decided to raise my kids in the country. We fell in love with Turner and have loved living and working here ever since.


I love BBQ spareribs, mashed potatoes and sweet and sour green beans, a recipe I learned from my mom. Now my family enjoys it too!”


I prefer cinnamon to peppermint, any day.


Of course, my favorite music is country and my favorite holiday’s are 4th of July and Christmas, but a good bonfire is hard to beat.

Best advice:


"Love your job so you don’t have to work a day in your life."

Have loved going into your store over the past several years. Always cool & fun things to see/purchase & the service is beyond exceptional! You've always been friendly, helpful & one of the sweetest people I know! Rarely have I visited when you didn't have a beautiful smile & great sense of humor. Am so happy & excited about this newest venture & the direction your store has taken. It is truly awesome! Have recommended, & brought friends to, your business. Recommendation: If you want a down-home, friendly, fun experience, with lots of interesting things to see & do (don't forget the art/craft classes!!) visit this unique store! 😍 Beth Rutherford, Turner resident for 40+ years, recently moved to Salem
