I called the store to check because sometimes maps is wrong. She said they did close at 4 but that they stay open on 5 every other day. I told her it was our last day in town since we were vacationing. And she was so kind and told us to go ahead and come on in. I loved the store!

We have been going here for years --and really love it. You should definitely check it out!…read more Recently, the store changed owners as Mr. and Mrs. Potts retired; however, the new owner maintained the magic of this store. We went in October of 2021, and the young ladies that were running the store were super friendly, offered to personalize ornaments, and were as helpful as they could be. This is an awesome small business --and you should definitely go, enjoy looking around, and supporting a small business. They have a TON of Christmas decorations. Looking for a gift for a teacher? They have ornaments peculiar to teachers. Looking for a gift for a nurse or a doctor? They have ornaments peculiar to medical personnel. A lot of the decorations leave room to personalize them too. My daughter LOVES coming here and is in wonder looking at the decorations and all of the lights. The store is really cute, there is street parking out front, and is in the beautiful town of Dillsboro. It is next door to the Jarrett House (currently undergoing renovation), close to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad (GSMR) train station, with a lot of other stores, restaurants, and a chocolate store.

The Cottage Craftsman is an awesome find. You're welcome. ;)…read more Beautiful pieces of pottery were spread throughout the front of the store. Plates, mugs, dishes, and more. If I hadn't been flying home, I would of bought more than just the one dish. I'll be back on my next trip for more. If specialty foods are your thing, then you can also find some treats at The Cottage Craftsman. Cheeses, sauces, syrups, and more. 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. You'll be happy you did.

There is a cute dog down there too. They also have antique type trinkets and decorations as well as thrift store type of clothing, which is nice. Some of the T shirts are newer. Upstairs there are a lot of cool things to see. There are old tools, mannequins... just your typical/unique antique store finds. The workers upstairs and downstairs are both friendly conversationalists who are proud to offer their selection of goods to the community. The prices on every item are very reasonable. Great place to come check out, over all!

TBC is a thrift store that supports women with problems- whether it be substance abuse, past…read morefamilial abuse, or emotional issues. I love the fact that its focus is women. TBC has petite to plus sizes for women and juniors. Clothes are arranged by category and size. I saw beautiful stuff! Make sure to check your picks before purchase. You can try them on in the bathroom/dressing room. Do not let that turn you off- it is very clean. TBC also has shoes, scarves, jewelry, belts, bags, and a smaller room dedicated to knickknacks, men's clothing, and books. My husband found a nice pair of Haggar pants for one buck, yes one buck! Ronni found a "Betty and Veronica" mini-comic. The volunteer there was very sweet. She told us that anything with an "April" tag was one buck. We went at the very end of May, and of course I was picking stuff with "June" tags. Thus, we spent three bucks per item. I like this place, as I can just focus on myself and my older daughter. It is not huge. It is not overwhelming. Donations are accepted whenever the store is open. I saw at least eight filled kitchen-sized trash bags that someone had dropped off, so keep that in mind. Donations are tax deductible. Volunteers are always needed. Check out their Facebook page to see their stuff. If you go, they are in the West Sylva plaza, right near "Harold's". Monday through Friday: ten to five; Saturday: ten to three. Sunday is a day of rest. Go to support female empowerment!

During a recent trip to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park we took a visit to Cherokee. A lot of the town was closed but I had a very nice at Nancy's which sells all sorts of Native American crafts. The store is huge and every inch of space from the front porch into the store is crammed with clothing, dream catchers, pottery, baskets, accessories, hats, shoes, blankets, and bags. I will always remember how I attended a Pow Wow in Florida and the Native American speaker urged support for Native American crafts. He said that if you wanted your dream catchers to work, then they had to be authentically made by Native Americans, Walmart wasn't going to cut it. The dream catchers here, created in every hue of the rainbow, are so authentic that they include a card that tells you the name of the Native American artist who made it. The prices were also at least half of what was being charged at the pow wows I have attended. This is the place to shop if you too are in love with Native American crafts.
