This store is broken up into two big rooms. The one towards the left is more upscale gift like. You will find lotions, cards, kitchen gadgets and candles/soaps. While it is a bit pricey, I love the local and well curated feel. They have nice candies and snacks from Asheville and some great natural products. Some old fashioned soda in the back for hot summer days. The right side is more your everyday stuff and traditional general store items. You will find actual hardware, command strips, soil, birdseed and leaning supplies. The front has cute games and books. Again, check the prices as some are quite fair (I got birdseed and a birdfeeder for the cat that costs similar to Amazon prices) but some can be high. Other random info- They also do handiwork and make key copies. That's nifty. You can become a member and get some discounts if you wish (it's free). The workers are super friendly and more than willing to help. Street parking.

We got married 43 years ago in the smallest, thin gold bands. As we pursued jobs, opportunities, I…read morebought myself a hefty platinum ring with a nearly perfect one carat diamond. I wore it as almost social armor, but never connected it to my heart, my soul and as removed from my husband as a cold, white star. I gave the ring to my sweet momma. Years passed. We raised two children, bought a big old river farm. On a short little trip, we headed to Asheville: interesting, but not our vibe. I picked up a brochure and found Visions of Creation. On a whim, I slid a curvy band and artist made set onto my finger. It felt like it had been there all my life. Visions of Creation makes every other jewelry seem hollow. Every piece seems to carry heft, while being elegant. We are planning a trip back to Black Mountain. A visit to this magical place gives me something to look forward to.
