Ivy Corner

Just wanted to let anyone looking forward to shopping here that they closed this spring (2014). My aunt and uncle owned the shop and were very sad to leave. Their daughter (my cousin) has a shop called Key City Antiques close by so check the shop out =)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE This store I always go in to buy $ 1.00 records from this one booth when I need to buy a gift for me after a stressful week. Always interesting quirky items to be found there.
HOWEVER… the owner of the building had chosen to raise the rent 3 times more than the store owners could afford so after so many years of being in the Town Of Black Mountain, NC, The Ivy Corner will be closing its doors on March 29^th, 2014. They are having a sale where most items are half price there is still a lot of interesting things left to be bought. It was the best antique store I have been to in a very long time and it will be missed.

I LOVE this store. You can get lost in there for hours, and it really isn’t that big. It’s a great place to find unique antiques, from classic to kitsch. Favorite finds from my last visit that I wish I’d bought: vintage salt and pepper shakers, vintage cookie jars, old storybooks, and several gorgeous old radios that have been refurbished and apparently work perfectly. I am totally saving my paycheck for one of those. They are just beautiful. SO many different things to look at. I felt like I was walking through the past, one object at a time.
And you couldn’t ask for sweeter, friendlier, more helpful staff either. Geez. I feel so lucky to live in Black Mountain when there are places like these to shop.
