Dove’s Outlet Village on Hinkle Road in Fayetteville is now the one-stop place to shop for eclectic, thrift, hand-crafted, primitive and country furniture, enjoy artisan items and pamper humanity’s four-legged friends.

Four businesses have been recently opened at Dove’s: Laurel Creek Gallery, Nearly New Consignments shop, Melody’s Mutt Hutt and Dog Grooming, and Creative Crafts and Supplies.



Laurel Creek Gallery, owned by Bonnie Bundy and Rebecca Thompson, offers an eclectic mix of reproduction Colonial furnishings, including Windsor chairs, West Virginia and American-made items like wooden bowls, candles, furniture, pottery and handmade scarves and purses.

“In the furniture line, we sell upholstered furniture as well,” said Bundy.

Family Heirloom Weavers is a very popular line at the shop, added Bundy. Located in Pennsylvania, she said it is one of the last surviving American textile mills.

The mill manufactures coverlets, window treatments, homespun blankets, ingrain carpets and other textiles.

Admirers of Fraktur, or Pennsylvania German folk, art will also find a selection available at the gallery, said Bundy.

Fraktur commonly features birds, tulips, hearts and blackletter and italic calligraphy.

Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

More information is available at 304-574-0033.



Nearly New Consignments is a way to save on brand name school clothes, home decor items and more, said owner Rhonda Smith.

Nearly New offers men’s, women’s and children’s clothing.

“We sell brand name clothing like Abercrombie, American Eagle and Gap,” said Smith.

New mothers and grandparents are likely to find wonderful savings on high-quality clothing for newborns and infants.

Parents of school-age children enjoy the savings on brand-name items.

“We have a very good selection of children’s clothing from newborn to size 18 in boys’,” she said.

Tourists are welcome to stop by to find items that didn’t get packed or to nab an affordable piece of West Virginia memorabilia clothing.

All of the items at Nearly New Consignments are in top-notch used condition, said Smith.



Humans aren’t the only ones who will discover treasures at Dove’s Outlet Village.

Melody’s Mutt Hutt and Dog Grooming caters to the canine crowd with a doggie boutique that offers leashes, clothes, treats, collars, toys and other pooch accessories.

Owner Melody Meadows also pampers her four-legged clients with luxurious grooming that she says most of them appear to enjoy.

“I’ve never, knock on wood, been bitten,” said Meadows. “I have a personal knack with the animals, as far as handling them.

“I get along with them, and they get along with me,” she added. “Their personalities are all different.”

Meadows grooms all breeds of dogs, both large and small.

She said she doesn’t have a preferred breed.

“I just enjoy being around the dogs,” she said. “I enjoy my (human) customers as well.”

Mel’s Mutt Hutt is by appointment.

The boutique may be reached at 304-574-2222.



Creative Crafts and Supplies moved to Dove’s in October, but owner Donna Cottle said her store has offered quality primitive and country furniture since April 2001.

Benches, cabinets, dinette and farm tables are all hand-crafted from pine by Cottle.

“It’s made from the ground up,” she said. “We make it, paint it and finish it.

“It’s handmade, and I make it myself.”

Cottle also offers custom pieces.

“If you bring me a picture and say, ‘I need this and want it a certain size,’ it’s custom-made the way you want it,” she said.

Customers choose the finish on their custom orders, which usually take six to eight weeks to complete, she added.

Creative Crafts and Supplies also offers some primitive crafts supplies, such as grapevines and berry wreaths.

Before moving to Dove’s, the store was located on Main Street in Oak Hill.
