It was nice to visit but the amount of Confederate memorabilia (heroic Stonewall riding through town with the traitorous flag) left me with a bad taste. I could have overlooked this bit of Southern Pride but then I came across the most racist thing I've ever seen in my years on this planet. A shelf dedicated to "black" memorabilia- a sat and pepper shaker set of little black boys that were created to overwhelminlgly resemble apes. It made me sick to my stomach.

There is a little display that usually houses some pretty religious memorabilia and collectibles. I've seen housewares, books, toys, shoes, cds, Knick knacks etc etc. the prices are right for a thrift store. As I said before, it's a small shop and a precarious layout but it's worth the maneuvering to visit and see what's on the shelves. The employees have always been friendly when I've visited. I have purchased a few good clothing items, some antiqued glassware, and a few collectibles.

Wherever we go, we like to "shop" at antique/thrift/consignment type businesses. In the process we…read moreoften are treated to mental trips down childhood lanes when we see vintage objects with which we were familiar as children. And, there are those times when we find "must have treasures" that make us smile. This afternoon, we stepped into this wonderful little shop, located along Main Street in Andrews, NC. It was so welcoming with flowers and fall decorations outside. When we walked in, we discovered the most eye-appealing displays and assortment of nice vintage clothing, artwork, toys, glassware, china, jewelry, furniture, lamps, stained glass and so very much more. It was definitely the most well-presented and organized shop of its kind we had every walked into. There were no crowded nooks or side rooms, we didn't have to fear bumping into anything and everything was tastefully arranged and displayed. There was no musty smell and pleasant music was playing. The owner, JoAnne Page, and her husband (her helper) have owned and built this business over the past few years. JoAnne has a degree in interior design which explained the eye-appealing and comfortable atmosphere. She was obviously picky with what she accepted and displayed. There is no cheap kitsch or gauche items to be found. It's a classy place to be sure. She told me she researches each item she accepts to try to find its story. She hears the items "talk" and tell tales of days gone by. I thought this was a unique way to breathe life into her merchandise. If you love to shop these types of stores, you'll definitely want to put this one on your list whenever you chance to find yourself in this sleepy little hamlet, tucked into the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Sadly I can't find anything about when those happen, if it is a regular thing etc. We were only in town through today, but it would be nice to know for future visits to the mountains.

I went home with two syrups made in North Carolina - Ginger Peach and Strawberry Lavender. After touring the Biltmore (because I had to see where Richie Rich was filmed - duh), I was regretting not snagging some wine to take home. Luckily for me, while shopping in Bryson City, I found a few different Biltmore wines at The Cottage Craftsman. I bought a few, including their Christmas at Biltmore Limited Edition to bring home. There are also handmade soaps, jewelry, and other unique items to purchase. If you want to snag some pretty awesome gifts for yourself or someone else, then step on in to The Cottage Craftsman.
